great album
I was not disappointed. I happened to here your'e the storm from this cd online, its a great tune so i orderd the cd. It has six or seven strong tracks. Communication,Live And Learn,Please Sister and Your'e The Storm are my favorites. Nina Persson has a beautiful voice and the cd is full of simple but catchy guitar hooks. There was also a bonus track, For The Boys, Which is another great song. I have heard other Cardigan records but this one i believe is the best.


They just do not make albums like this


One of The Cardigans best skills is re-invention. You could only dream of making an album this good. On this album they became the perfect band with the perfect album. Nina's lyrics are her best ever, and delivered with that irresistible silky Swedish sex-kitten voice. Peter Svenssons guitars and arrangements are brilliant. They had completed this album a couple of times and chucked and did it again until it was as good as they could make it.

Lyrically and musically, this album takes them into the rarified stratosphere of must-have albums, and without a doubt into one of the 50 best albums ever. These guys found some really good magic here, a beautiful mixture of light and gold-dust, "champagne from last New Year's", a slightly euphoric candle-lit warmth with an eternal return of love and loss, salt in your wounds and a promise of your heart's desire.

4 years after its release, I still think it is incredible. To me that means it is going to stand the test of time. And maybe that's because they have put down some timeless tracks, stuff that will always meet you halfway, and touch you right where you are.

The band might be long gone before daylight, but the album they left behind is in it for the long haul.

It's great!
This album is their fifth(!), and it has a great, smooth sound that differs from their earlier "Pop" tunes. The Cardigans are probably the most exciting group to come out of Sweden in a generation. I love the songs For What It's Worth and Live And Learn, but there is not a bad track on this entire album.

So, if you like smooth and mellow music by a great band, then you really must consider getting this album - it's great! I love this album and highly recommend it.


Perhaps the most perfect pop album of all time.
Some complain that Long Gone Before Daylight doesn't sound like the Cardigans they are used to hearing (think Lovefool) but in this case that is not a bad thing. I don't usually write reviews, but this album is so outstanding that I couldn't hold back. This album is much more mature and laid back than previous ventures and the result is a sound that is simply sublime. The album is full of songs that all sound great together and while they are stripped down they are also somehow more epic in their simplicity. Long Gone Before Daylight is innocent and dark, pure and flawed, simple and grand, and ultimately as close to perfect as any album I have ever heard. .


The best album...
I think Long Gone Before Daylight is Cardigans best album so far. . though it's very hard to choose just one. . . It's just amazing. . . . .
