Aquarius

It happens so often that on the second album the artists both try to reproduce first one's success as well as get more "mature". We all know how that always ends up with...

#1 Cartoon Heroes 9

I just can't stop thinking this was a bad choice as the first single. It's too strange.

#2 Around the World 10

I wonder why this didn't do any better, being probably the best song Aqua ever made. Maybe it's just too serious?

#3 Freaky Friday 9

This could've made a single with a funny video.

#4 We Belong to the Sea 7½

Wouldn't Aquarius have made a better slow single? Well, at least Lene got to display her enhanced breasts through a fish bowl.

#5 An Apple a Day 9

Practically another version of Around the World.

#6 Halloween 8½

This album has so many different kinds of the same kind, if you get my point. I mean that they're all Aqua but they're different Aquas, like horror-Aqua, orchestral-Aqua or country-Aqua.

#7 The Good Guys 7

Kinda strange, maybe an attempt at another Turn Back Time?

#8 Hello from Mars 9½

Quite a lot stronger than a certain 2003 ESC entry with the same name. "Elvis has said that I could be just like they are" is a fun piece of lyrics.

#9 Aquarius 9

What a nice powerful ballad.

#10 Cuba Libre 8

Generic latin stuff.

#11 Bumble Bees 9

This was such a pathetic attempt to get back to the old Aquascope days as their third single... Of course it failed. They should right away have started off with AtW - and with a funny video for it. The ending "Uh-haa-ha - BZZ!" is very funny.

#12 Goodbye to the Circus 8

What is it with all these farewell tracks? Well, I guess I'd make one myself if I knew I was going to split... Oh my, I got a clear vision of me splitting. Must think about something else.
