It's a good album, but potential listeners should be aware that it's really just eight love songs followed by one that's probably about drug abuse, and another one about bugs.

Those 8 are so good I'm ready to forgive her. (Didn't actually fact check this, is Insects really just about bugs?) Anyway, it's one of the best pop records in recent memory, probably my fave pop artist since Bjork's peak.

I think those last 2 songs are intended to be about an absence of love? Either way these are ten great songs regardless of the subject.

This is one of those albums where I very clearly remember where I was when I first heard it.

I put it on for my drive home from work, I'm driving through downtown Baltimore, it's dark out, I'm very slowly making my way through the city in rush hour traffic, and I remember just being blown away by this. Like track after track after track, I just loved everything about it, and I've loved just about everything Susanne Sundfor has done since. She's amazing

i don't think "insects" is about insects, and the title "ten love songs" is a bit tongue-in-cheek anyway.

susanne sundfor has become one of my all-time favorites, and this was my introduction to her. this discovery led me back to the brothel and the silicone veil, which are equally impressive. now with music for people in trouble and blomi, she is one of the very few artists who have five near perfect albums to their names.
