| | The Cardigans : First Band on the Moon - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | For listeners who had caught up with the Cardigans on their breakout album, Life, the group's third album was a confusing pastiche which included several conventional pop songs, but also added tracks with left-field arrangements and some (comparatively) disturbing lyrics. |
 | | In reality, however, the group had simply returned to the mood and feel of their debut album. |
