Back when this album came out, I remember hearing "Barbie Girl" all the time at the skating rink. It was my absolute favorite to skate to. That techno beat made it so ideal. Anyway, nine years later, I buy an album at a pawn shop because the cover appealed to me. It was Aqua's Aquarius album. I didn't realize who the band was until I listened to the first song, "Cartoon Heroes" and heard that chick's distinct voice. At that point, being a little bit of an obsessive collector, I absolutely had to get the album that had "Barbie Girl" on it. So, I did. And I couldn't be any more pleased with my purchase. The album is clean. The uptempo songs have that great techno beat that I crave, and that chick has a very beatiful voice when she opens her throat up on the slow songs. To anyone who wants this album, I would also greatly recommend Aqua's next album, Aquarius (which also has a great arcade style computer game on it!). Both albums are very clean, great for kids in their pre-teens.Read full review
Can't ever miss with Aqua! Top notch electropop. Tune in and turn up the volume. In the 'rock' world, nothing is passé.

Brought me right back to my youth in the 90's. I had this CD back then, but I don't know what happened to it. I'm so glad I could find it again. After I bought this one, I bought another CD of a similar genre and make a playlist. Every time I listen to it, I can't help but smile. This CD will bring out you inner 90's kid and who cares if you dance like an idiot, just enjoy it.
I love Aqua. Their songs are so upbeat and fun (save maybe two on the cd that aren't, but are still beautiful.) I'm trying to replace all my sad music with happy music after coming out of a bad depression, and it's pretty hard to find music that's happy and still sounds awesome and has a good message and is happy about good things, not "i'm a playa and treat women bad i rock" which is so prevalent in most other things. It's fun to dance to, fun to sing to, it's just great music. Good, fun, happy music is so rare, and I am so lucky to have found this gem in Aqua :)
CD is in great condition and plays perfectly
