Comments

Ace of Base's best album is fortunately also their longest. The electronic feel of their debut album often seemed too harsh, while their later albums have suffered from too-dense instrumentation. The Bridge, in comparison, has a fresher, light and airy feel to it. Like their other albums, it was released in the US with a slightly modified track listing.

The Bridge is also the most diverse of Ace of Base's albums — the large number of tracks allowing them to flex their music-making muscles in different directions, from the disco of "Lucky Love" to the sensuous "Whispers in Blindness" to the jubliant "Beautiful Life". In just a little over an hour, the group proves far more flexible than most of today's pop acts.

It's hard to pick a favourite track. Perhaps the vulnerable angst of "Ravine".
