The beauty of Roxette is that the duo of Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson can do practically anything in terms of Top 40 music. From the quiet desperation of "Spending My Time" to the chanting carnival of "Joyride" to the folky "Church of Your Heart," they bring a worldliness to their lyrics and melodies that most pop A-listers don't even have the imagination to dream of. "The Big L," "Soul Deep," and "Hotblooded" all follow in the successful vein Gessle and Fredriksson mined with "The Look," while "Fading Like a Flower (Every Time You Leave)," an insistent rock ballad, and the accordion-driven "Perfect Day" take things down a notch. The low-key "Watercolours in the Rain" and the whining "(Do You Get) Excited?" are the only cuts that keep the album from being a total success. I have this musical album before on the tape, so I decided to buy Joyride on eBay.Read full review
I used to have the cassette tape of this CD when I was just a little girl. It was my moms and she gave it to me when she decided she didnt want it anymore. I used to make up dances in my room to the songs and I knew every word by heart. One day I thought just for kicks and giggles to look up this CD on Ebay. I couldnt believe it was on here and I immedietly started bidding on one. I was such a happy camper getting this in the mail and I have not taken it out of my truck CD player yet!!! I always start reminiscing back to those care free days in my room as a child, dancing and singing to all these songs. Its amazing how happy a single CD can make you feel :0)
This album is simply one of the best pop ablums ever. It includes smash hits 'Joyride' (# 1 @ Billboard Top 100) and 'Fading Like a Flower' (# 2 @ Billboard Top 100). It is no surprise why this album has sold 12 million copies world wide and more than 1.5 million copies in the US alone. This album presents the peak of Roxette's international career. Amazingly, every song on this ablum sounds like it would have had number 1 hit potential. This album presents the sound of pop music in the early 90's at it's best!
I personally love this CD bcoz it's got all my favorite songs in it and bcoz it's by my favorite band ROXETTE what more can I say..
