专辑介绍
在现今流行乐坛一股回归音乐本质的呼唤声中，《Long Gone Before Daylight》正好回应了这个潮流；除了延续The Cardigans作品中一向拥有的清新悦耳旋律， 11首以“爱”为主题、散发简单自然本质的精采作品，诚恳真实而温暖。开场的《Communication》与《You’re The Storm》，柔美的音符中可以听见爱情的挣扎；《Please Sister》有著满满的衷心恳求；而被主唱Nina形容为“旋律优美、节奏强烈”的首发单曲《For What It’s Worth》，更是在欧洲引发点播风潮。

If any clue were needed to confirm a new direction for the Cardigans -- that is, other than the music itself -- it's the change of hair color for vocalist Nina Persson. Previously an icy blonde that approached white (best flaunted on the cover of Life), Persson's hair is now jet black, a color that matches her confessional mood and conflicted feelings about love on the Swedish group's fifth studio album. Produced by Per Sunding (career-long collaborator Tore Johansson left after an initial session), Long Gone Before Daylight is understated and well-designed, a musicians' record, one that sounds more like an MTV Unplugged session than the high-energy chamber pop of their early recordings. Unfortunately, it's also over-produced to within an inch of its artistic life, and lacks the quality songs and exquisite productions that the group had made a hallmark. Persson composed all the lyrics, rewriting the Spector standard "He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss)" into "And Then You Kissed Me" (sample lyric: "Baby you hit me/Yeah, you punched me right in the heart/And then you kissed me...and then you hit me"). Guitarist Peter Svensson took care of all the music, relying on familiar pop archetypes but forswearing the catchy hooks in favor of carefully constructed songs. Still, the Cardigans don't have enough musical personality on their own to carry these songs; they've always been a surprisingly workmanlike band -- their performances here are sympathetic and intricate -- but they simply can't rise above this subpar material. [The American release, which followed over a year after the Canadian and European issues, included a bonus DVD featuring three videos and three live tracks, plus interviews.]

- @ss：I very rarely buy CDs these days. I'm showing my age by having got to the stage where I think that most modern music is rubbish. This is the best album I've bought in well over a decade. I bought it on the strength of 'You're The Storm' and 'For What It's Worth'
