Brilliant! They get better with age, I think this is their best album so far, & I have bought them all over the years, still have my copy of the original take on me single.
This song blows me away too. Can`t really get enough of it. I was kinda dissapointed the first time i heard the songs from the album, as im kinda more into the guitar based a-ha, i should have known better as a-ha`s song alwas has a tendensy to grow as you listen. I have every album, and now i believe this might be the best album from a-ha ever, because i have never really experienced liking 90 % of the songs. SM have the potential to become a massive club hit....HOPE they release it as a single
totally agree, i felt the same, though i still prefer the more guitar based stuff. then again, next to the other music i listen to (Muse, Editors, White lies, etc.) this is a nice contrast
I have to revise my opinion Peonieo777, I still think people will download this for free, but I think this was an inexpensive & great way for Universal to advertise the album & indeed it will reach a great many people. And, I'm sure you have heard by now that A-Ha will be touring the USA in March 2010. It is part of A-HA's 25th Anniversary celebration. They will also release a special anniversary CD of the "Hunting High and Low" album! Maybe Universal finally heard the pleas from the USA fans!!
You can't condone posting the album Pre Release but I agree, it will help sell on this occasion because the whole album is so strong. I will definately be buying it. Album of the year so far
No. The too expensiv prices for the CDs diminish the sales. Many people can't afford to buy a record, altough they would like to.
Of course, I'm against the illegal downloads, but the record companies seem nothing to do to stop this process. And you can't acces to them everywhere!
I think they have the main profit of the sales, not the band itself.
But BUY THE ALBUM, if you can do it, the album is great.
I agree, I think this is a big mistake putting the full songs out on YouTube! I have said so on several other songs from the album. I agree, I think most loyal A-HA fans will but the album, but there are many others who will not... they will download illegally, this is theft no matter how you look at it!! The 30 second teasers of each song should have been the only thing posted... Please take these off and BUY THE ALBUM!! This album is going to be a hit, it is a shame to diminish the sales!
I disagree, more people will now buy the album and go to their concerts, as youtube represents such a promotion that you'd need billions of dollars to get the same marketing value anywhere else,
I agree, that this is indeed a cheap way to promote the album & the band... But, I still think that many will down load this music for free rather than buy the album, simply because they can! Some people have no conscience & would rather steal the music than cough up the money to buy a CD or a legal download from the official A-HA web site (which I have to admit is a great idea for us outside of Europe, they should have done it for their other CD's). Regardless this is going to be a hit album!
I agree with everything you said theBESTelvis, the album as a whole is amazing and is going to be #1 in Britain & the world. But for me, this has always been the BEST CUT off the album. Magne wrote a FABULOUS song and Morten's vocal interpretation is BRILLIANT! This MUST be released as a single, it has #1 hit written all over it!!!!!
Again this is very true... found this out myself! Universal is a huge entertainment entity! Movies, T V shows, records to list a few. If we can get Universal USA on the bandwagon... think of all the avenues that open up to A-Ha over here & world wide. Not just having their records sold & promoted on the radio... but T V shows etc. Every fan needs to write to Universal, not just USA fans, because in the end it will help all the fans all over the world! I too have the sites...
I'm mixed here. I'm SOOOO EXCITED that we have new material from a-ha and SOOOO HEARTBROKEN that they aren't being sold here in America. I just want to jump through my skin, this is so good! That's what I will always love about the magic of music.
I DO HOPE THAT ITUNES CARRIES THIS ALBUM. I WILL NEED IT THE DAY IT COMES OUT!!!!!!
I so agree... UNIVERSAL... You have no idea how many fans A-HA has in the USA!!!! BRING A-HA BACK TO AMERICA!!!
This song along with "The Bandstand" & "Shadowside" are #1 songs! A-HA is back in full force with the sound that made them famous 24 years ago! Show your support for this wonderful, deserving band... buy the new album!
I am so afraid that a-ha will not to anything in the US again....what can we do?????? Was talking to a friend the other day...if a-ha is not going to give the album out in South America..what was the reason for going there 2 months ago and play new material from the album??? of course money but hey a-ha and your management...there are millions of your fans over there...come on - they are not getting younger (even it looks like that) so GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!
I have been writing letters to the various radio station here in Los Angeles and Hollywood California. WHAT CAN FANS DO? Everyone has answered the same: Universal needs to have an American rep for the band. The rep is the person who distributes and communicates with the music directors (of the various U.S. radio stations). He/she pushes the stations to play their music. ONLY THEN the product will be sold here. A-ha needs Universal Germany/Norway to provide them with an American representative!
This is very true! It was Warner Bros in England who agreed to sign a-ha, But then the big wigs (parent company) in the U.S.A. got envolved and finally signed them. Hence their meteoric rise in the United States & around the world in the 80's. A-Ha is signed to Universal Germany... again the parent company in the States has to get envolved. A-HA has to be represented in the States to have their records released here. We have to bombard both Universal in Germany & USA with our concerns!
I gotta say that Mags doesn't get enough credit as a song writter. Alot of people want to give Paul all the praise but Mags is just as good of a song writter as him
I agree with you 1000%... This song is MAGNIFICENT and Morten sounds amazing - brilliant!! I think Magne has taken the lead in writing for A-HA now! Not saying Pal still doesn't contribute good songs... but Magne seems to have the feel for what fits the band now and his songs fit Morten like a glove. This needs to be released as a single... it says "HIT" from the beginning to the end!!! ***PLEASE BUY THE ALBUM... DO NOT DOWN LOAD FREE MUSIC****
I find I must make an addition to my fisrt comment posted on this video. Although this song & "Foot Of The Mountain" by Magne are by far two of my top 4 favorite songs of this album.. I have to say that Pal has written the majority of the songs on this unbelievable album (some with Magne) & credit must be given where credit is due!!! "The Bandstand", "Mother Nature Goes To Heaven" (the other 2 songs of my 4 favorites) plus "Riding The Crest" & "Shadowside" are fantastic.. thank you Pal & M & M!
Good song, I hope the will be video on this song! One of my favourite ones from the last album!

It's a very stong song, one of the highlights of this wonderful album.
But there are nowhere filler weak songs fortunately.
The guitar riffs are awesome and go perfectly with the synths.
