This six-piece outfit of musical chameleons has developed a reputation for sensational live shows and a large, loyal fan base. They hit the ground running with their third record - ten songs of instantly lovable pop brilliance, fizzing with electrical currents, channeling calypso rhythms and tropical flavors with lashings of percussion a-go-go. Pop effervescence hasn't sounded this fresh in ages.

Summary: Love, Love, Love it
Comment: There is nothing bad I can say about this album. It absolutely stunned me. The band sat in my Itunes for a couple of years and out of the blue I decided to listen to them and shocked me into love.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good fun music for the background.
Comment: I got this CD and I'd say I like about half the songs on it, but I like them a lot. It's got a fun sound to it, like an electronic B-52s, and I like to listen to it while I'm doing other things. If I'm doing work and don't have the time to focus on music, I'll put this on, that way I can work to music and every now and then pop my head up and enjoy it, then get back to work.
Heart It Races and Hold Music are the strongest tracks on the album in my opinion. Definitely a step up from their first album, I'd say give it a listen sometime and see if you like it. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't fit a lot of people's tastes, but it never hurts to give it a shot.

Summary: Screechy, out of tune schlock rock
Comment: Reminds me of Scissor Sisters. "Debbie" is a fun song, but that's about all I could stand. I can see a lot of people enjoying this type of manic, desultory rock. Architecture in Helsinki is certainly inventive, but what they invent does not appeal to me. The vocals are screechy and out of tune, the arrangements are maddeningly often out of sync - I'm sure intentionally, and the electronic noise makes me feel like I'm in a bad nintendo game. As I said, there will be many who love this stuff. Good for them! You can have my copy.

Summary: Disappointment
Comment: This cd was a huge letdown. AIH's prior two cds were both amazing. Its odd for an artist to drop in quality this drastically in the space of one cd... The single Heart it Races, was the only song I enjoyed. The majority of the tracks feature the male singer's voice and omit the beautiful harmonies from incorporating a female voice. This album sounds angrier and lacks the fun/easy-going feeling of their other cds. If you're a fan of Architecture in Helsinki, download Heart it Races and skip this album. I hope their next cd is better.

Summary: Erratic
Comment: More "serious" album. Not as much fun as the first album. Still some good ideas in here, and a few excellent songs.
