"Are you kidding me, KGLW? 11 years and 20 albums later, these guys may be hitting yet another peak with IDPLMAL. This self-described "jammy" album features tongue-in-cheek lyrics that offer a smirk and a wink towards contemporary jam bands (the same way Infest the Rat's Nest did, but for heavy me..."  [+]  Reply

"This is the album that earned the groop the affectionate nickname of "moog terrorists" among fans. This is mostly pop music, composed of multi-layered analog synthesizers (far more melodic and harmonious than on previous work), combined with Marx-influenced and anarchist lyrics, Can-like bass rif..."  [+]  Reply

"I first really noticed The Cardigans one day in my car. I found a channel playing a song, which I thought must be a new Sheryl Crow single. I was very surprised when the DJ announced that it was The Cardigans. I don't remember which song it was, but I knew I had to buy one of their CD's to check ..."  [+]  Reply
