Not as good as I expected

Review Score: (6/10)
I have the album "The Bridge", and I thought this album would be somewhat like that. And from some of the positive reviews here, I thought that this must surely be a good one. But I was disappointed when I heard it. Only two or three songs (Cruel Summer, Whenever You're Near Me) are good. The others aren't too good, and some stink (like Donnie). Some songs sound like they're from the seventies, and sound too much like ABBA. But I bought this for Ace Of Base songs - if I wanted ABBA, I'd have bought _their_ album.

If you don't have any of the other two albums of Ace of Base, I suggest you buy one of them. Both are really great ones. To conclude, you could find better ways to spend your money, than buy this album. Three or four good songs for 14 bucks aint worth it.
