BEAT Magazine, NorwayThose who have not figured out that Per Gessle is a genius can right away jump in a bucket full of shit. The Swede with those hopeless hairstyles have a pop-sensibility that belongs on the top, together with people like Chinn & Chapman, Mickie Most and Neil Innes. Every damned song he sings and produces is so full of hook-lines (and sinker) that one would believe that he has sold his soul to the devil. If you are that kind of type that likes "classical music" based on real melodies you are going to get erection from this "box of candies" that Per "Smartass" Gessle delivers here. Every one of these 13 songs dances around most of the other songs on the top of charts at the time, and his obvious love for pop music is so charming that you can just raise your arms and say: He has done it again! I get down on my knees and I know that Gessle and I have the exact same record collection (even if I only have one Doris Day album). Poppin' all over the world!(out of 6) |
