Great aor act from Sweden.A mixture of good,happy melodic rockers and songs in Roxette vain( btw Per Gessle wrote some songs for them).

From: Erik	Date: January 18, 2005 at 1:22
I agree Peter a very nice mix of happy feel good tunes. Perfect summer music !

From: Geoff	Date: January 18, 2005 at 3:21
If you like Ole/Evenrude or Return you'll like this one. It's a little poppy and has those lyrics which are a little too poor for me, but it's harmless stuff. Not great, but good solid 80's AOR.

From: ERIK	Date: January 20, 2005 at 7:24
Absolutely fantastic record! Not a bad song as far as the eye could see. Outstanding melodies! Re-release this record right now!!!!

From: vandervelde	Date: February 5, 2005 at 6:28
Outstanding pop/aor disc...sounds in places too popish and lyrics are very cliche and simple but melodies are all great...especially Don'Steal My Heart Away and happy, feel good Only Love...for fans of Evenrude,Wig Wam, Return, Roxette( songwriting is very much the same like in this band)

From: Kim HP	Date: February 5, 2005 at 12:23
The title track is a cult hit here in Sweden... great party pop-rock!Unfortunately never heard the rest of the album.

From: ERIK	Date: March 13, 2005 at 20:33

Great AOR/Pop-Rock album, que gran album no es puro AOR ni Rock Melodico como lo ponen es un cruce de estos con el Pop pero un Pop con ritmo alegria y fuerza, da gusto tener albums asi, en cortes muy completo temas cortados con la misma tijera, un disco que gustara a todo amante del buen Rock de la mejor decada de siempre. lo recomiendo a todos los hermanos hispanos.

From: z4roxx	Date: October 13, 2005 at 13:19
What’s the secret of this band?I don t know how is the arcane but this is one of the greates band in the genre,and they are absolutely unique and originals,catchy,amazing melodies and great performances!It’s difficult to say which cd is gooder,every song is full of emotions and meaning(I speak about music,not lyrics who I never consider).I’ll must buy the last one,can t wait anymore!!!!!

EHY Z4ROXX,IO POSSIEDO SOLO LET'S PARTY.C'E'DIFFERENZA TRA I DUE?

From: z4roxx	Date: October 17, 2005 at 11:53
Diciamo che”R.O.C.K.”è meno immediate dell altro,ma dopo alcuni ascolti diventerà assoluto come”Let’s party”,è più”ottantiano”rispetto all altro,più vicino a sonorità pop anche se di pop non c e assolutamente nulla,cmq te lo consiglio,contiene dell hits impedibili,come del resto l'altro…W GLI SHA-BOOM!!!!!!

From: The Dolphin	Date: October 17, 2005 at 17:41

From: newscandi	Date: July 28, 2006 at 17:33
Why the hell especially the track "Dangerous" didn't make it to the Fiiire Best of album??? Well, in contrast to that the 'new' versions for Fiiire of the songs are far better there.

From: rick kerch vzla	Date: November 24, 2006 at 17:44
wonderful album but some songs are more pop orientated.it's hard to say how aor this album is.recently i put this cd to a friend whose musical influences are pep shop boys and duran duran and he just loved it!.now sha-boom is more into grunge pop or what they call nowadays dirty pop.unbeliabeable!.

From: Magnus	Date: March 31, 2007 at 21:12
Great scandi AOR in the same vein as Talk of the town and easy action and the unknown swedish band that only made 4 7" singles: Guardian Angels! Keyboard driven AOR and pure heaven for my ears! :-)

Someone have the mp3 of songs Rosie, and Poster???

What a genius is Dag Finn. This, and the rest of Sha Boom albums are awesome and wonderful. If you're feeling kind of sad and bored, hear any sha boom album, especially this one or the second and the joy and happiness will enter your life.....Thanks for this gems...

From: Remastered Reason	Date: October 4, 2008 at 18:00
Sound like the 70's glam rock band (The)Sweet. At least they seem to acknowledge it by covering 'Fox on the Run'.
