I had very high hopes for this album, all three MF songs I'd heard previously being awesome, so I was somewhat disappointed but after all, at least yet, she isn't one of the foremost artists in Sweden, so it shouldn't be a surprise she was unable to get as many diamonds (pun intended) onto her debut as I'd have hoped.

#1 Ingenting att förlora

Somehow footbally and not too interesting but passes as basic playlist material.

#2 Jag ljuger så bra 10

Oh oh, so good. If she keeps coming up with songs as good as this, I'd gladly let her represent her country every year. I just realised that this could be the style I'd like to have Red Light Stop Sign's studio version adhere to.

#3 Kan du se

This moody little song is somehow very much to my liking. Was it this one I accused of plagiarising Dina's bli hos meg?

#4 Himlen är du

Too basic. This is the kind of song that always makes it to MF's Andra chansen, provided it's performed by an attractive adolescent male person.

#5 Medan du sov 9

Much like #3. Actually VERY much like it. I like, too.

#6 Alla flickor 10

Is this better than JLSB? I'm not sure anymore. Probably so. I still wonder, how much better this would've fared in the MF final, had they let Pernilla Wahlgren perform it.

#7 Han är min

For some strange reason, they didn't accept this in MF 2006. JLSB is better, of course, but this isn't bad, either. Especially the ending is very good.

#8 Ett ögonblick 7

Sleepy.

#9 Vad hände sen 9

The third version of #3. No wonder at all I still have trouble telling them apart.

#10 Diamanter

Another MF reject, another highlight of the album. The lyrics are fun and, thanks to Max, I can no longer think of anything else than "en häst, han dör" where she's supposed to say "en estradör".

#11 Vem 6

And there went the last listenable track, this is already just bad.

#12 Nu kommer jag tillbaks 8

This at least begins in a way that promises something but I must've had a reason not to like it in the end. Let's see. Very iskelmäish but doesn't quite make it.

#13 Ingenting är större

Swedish isn't an especially beautiful language, is it? Just look at the word "större". Ugh. This isn't an especially beautiful song, either.
