Rating:  - 80S POP A-HA
THE FIRST TIME I HEARD [TAKE ON ME] #1 , I KNEW I HAD TO BUT IT.ONE OF THE BIGGEST SONGS OF THE DECADE AND THE TRUE DEFINITION OF A POP SONG.THEN CAME [THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES ON TV]#20 WHICH WAS ANOTHER GREAT SONG OF THAT ERA. THESE TWO SONGS ALONE ARE WORTH HAVING THIS ALBUM FOR. IT'S TOO BAD THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH IT FOR THIS GROUP IN THE U.S.A. BUT THEY ARE HUGE OVER SEAS AND HAVE SOME OTHER PRETTY GOOD ALBUMS.
Rating: - One of the best norwegian imports since vikings
Luis Mejia (son) - A-ha made a consistent but little impact in the 80s' music, and their debut itself is very representative; the music is an epilogue of synthpop, that mix of electronic music with pop stands.

Although 2 songs on here were big on USA radio for a while, the rest of the songs are excellent. Nice mix of pop rock, and more soft pop songs. Very addicting songs, excellent melodies and just a great album in general, you will not be disappointed.
Rating:  - ...for a place in America
You know how the story goes. Obscure European band labors in obscurity for years. Somehow, through sheer chance, has one track (which may or may not be typical of their work) hit it stateside and rocket up the charts. Make them megastars, a household name...until their one hit dies out and they never come close to striking gold again.
Yes, before Aqua, there was the strangely similar-sounding A-ha, and this was an otherwise perfectly ordinary album where their one shining star (which I ... Read More
