Ace Of Base

Bridge

Better than their first album! Fabulous! I love it!

Review Score:

(10/10)
This CD was really worth the wait. I was impressed with The Sign, but more so when I discovered that The Bridge displayed a lot more talent and range. Ace of Base isn't just a dance-mix group, but can handle acoustics and ballads beautifully as well. The vocals seem much improved, too, over their first CD and many of the songs feature engrossing harmonies.

Particularly noteworthy is the acoustic "Lucky Love", which didn't get the airplay it deserved as a radio release (especially in light of how terrible the top 40 hits generally were in 1996). "Angel Eyes" is a wonderful song with brief hints of Enya influence, and the rest come in a wide range that should please anyone who enjoyed the first album.

Although I was a tad disappointed that there weren't too many songs that reminded me of The Sign (the CD, not the single), it's just as nice to see Ace of Base performing more than just one type of song here. If you liked the first one, don't pass this one up.
