Analogue

First impressions, the lead single off A-Ha's new album 'Analogue' is 'Celice', a great pop-rock affair. Good single. The album is basically rock, not unlike the two previous albums, the excellent 'Minor Earth Major Sky' and the decidedly ordinary 'Lifelines'. However, this album seems to lack the pop sensibilities and the intangible qualities of the 'Minor Earth Major Sky' with a feel resembling that of a jam session of rock musicians. Competent but not striking in any way.

Addendum

Standout tracks include 'Analogue', 'Cosy Prisons' and the outstanding 'Celice'.
