"One of the best albums I've ever heard. A grower of sorts, but so incredible either way. Also, I can't think of any album that's bookended with as strong of tracks as this one. "Swimming Fields" and "Run Out" get me every time. Anyhow, this is a great album, and everyone should give it a whirl." Reply

"They are book worms, they are robots, sometimes clinical, sometimes shining. Album works for the most part. The painted acrylic on the album cover represents the music world, it is shiny and smooth. Music for the fab new modern apartment with that bizarre modern art sculpture. Also beginning to r..." [+] Reply
"A journey through sound and wonders. Easily one of favorite albums. When music is related to events of your life it really takes its power. I'm not able to listen to it anymore, but great work. If you life the soft side of Sigur Ros and ambient music, this is for you." Reply
"Foot of the Mountain is in the running for my favourite A-ha album of the 2000s, the only one that rivals it at all being the brilliant 'Analogue'. This little gem of an album starts off with 'Bandstand' which is one of the weaker tracks, but still good nonetheless. Then we get the catchy ballad ..." [+] Reply

"It's overdramatic, just as it should be, and for the better. All of the songs have perfect lyrics and can be argued as a highlight but my personal favorite is probably Cross My Heart followed by Celebrity Status. The end is also one of the greatest ends to any album ever." Reply

"Discovered because I like The Divine Comedy and Pugwash, when I heard of the collaboration between the two principle leaders of these bands due to their interest in ELO and cricket...I was all in. Wasn't expecting an album that superseded the work of their primary bands and ELO! Strongly recommen..." [+] Reply
"This album is all about melancholia and being happy to be sad. There are a few great tracks (Mess Of Me, Hello Hurricane, The Sound, Needle and Haystack Life) and few bad ones (Always, Free, Your Love Is A Song). There's a song like "Bullet Soul" in just every Switchfoot album. "Enough To Let Me ..." [+] Reply
"Every song on this album is just as good as Fireflies. I grew up as an adolescent when this came out listening to Nirvana but I just heard it and it gives me nostalgia in a weird way.
