  Amazon.co.uk: Gran Turismo: Music: The Cardigans   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
On GRAN TURISMO, the Cardigans follow this dark muse--which already beckoned them to cover Black Sabbath twice in two records--further incorporating a deeply affected melancholia into their Euro-pop ways.
Sadly the rest of the album doesn't qite live up to that expectation but is very good none-the-less.
As any classic album requires you need to listen to the album all the way through in the right order to truly appreciate the form and story of the album.

 Albums of the artist singer songer: Cardigans - album albums songs work works
This album is somewhat of the same formula that made LIFE such a great album.
But all in all, this album is very listenable and is a good addition to the Cardigans catalog..."New Cuckoo" stands out as the best track on the album, with all the rest of the music as good as they should be.
This album is so amazingly unique and charming..its a shame they had to go on making albums so completely different from this one.

Gran Turismo has maintained its place as one of my favorite albums since its release.
The style of music on this particular album is very Cardigans, but distinct from their others in its beautiful, haunting ambience.
If you're curious about Gran Turismo, check out the songs "Starter," "Erase/Rewind," and "My Favourite Game." Those are probably the more upbeat songs, but though the more low-key songs don't stand out as much, together they are what provides the powerful, echoing backbone of the album.

The pretentious-bastard story that accords this album all the power of which I speak is nevertheless requisite to the review itself, and I feel compelled to adumbrate despite all the negativity of which the previous paragraph warns.
The lyrics to Gran Turismo are often bitter and terribly despondent, yet at the same time they force the listener (i.e., me, you, and anyone who has ever regretted anything they've ever done) to acknowledge so much about human behaviour and interaction that we'd all rather dismiss.
It's hard to listen to from a lyrical standpoint, it really is, but in a certain light it's also very comforting to know that I'm not the only one with this kind of crap to deal with; even hot Swedes with multiple chart-topping records under their belts contend with bollocks in their social lives.

 The Cardigans, Gran Turismo - PopMatters Music Review
Building an American fanbase on the back of the sugary-sweet "Lovefool," The Cardigans are back with an album that will most likely turn off folks wanting more of the cheery cooing of Nina Persson.
Gran Turismo is a far darker, less retro affair than anything the band has previously attempted and has clearly absorbed much of the mood and spirit of dance music, trip hop in particular.
The hints of a life beyond bubblegum pop were always there, tucked away in the far corners of each album.

 Gran Turismo by Cardigans CD
Yes, they placed their metallic guitars out-front while their colleagues hid behind layers of sequencers, making for a more "alternative" approach to "pop." More defining, though, was the sinister cloud that always hung around their songs, no matter how sunny the delivery and the setting.
This album reaches toward the darker side of pop: subterranean groove, distorted loops and songs about alienation and disillusionment.
This album was in my CD player for 2 months to be taken out for 2 weeks for the stereophonics (another good album) and now returns to its old haunt reguarly.

 Gran Turismo 2: Music at the Speed of Sound - The Album - Comparison Shopping and Read Reviews
You may be wondering why I gave "Gran Turismo 2: Music at the Speed of Sound" such a low score.
For some reason, the makers of this soundtrack felt the need to add the sound of cars from Gran Turismo 2 into the first two songs on the CD, which are by Apollo Four Forty and The Cardigans.
On the first track, instead of hearing the song come up straight away, you hear the lame digital sound of cars revving up at the starting line and the countdown timer beeping away, and this is all recorded straight from GT2.

 Warner Bros. Online: Music
Over four years after the album "Gran Turismo", The Cardigans are back with a new studio album entitled "Long Gone Before Daylight", which was released end March 2003.
The first single from the album was "For What It's Worth", released mid February 2003.
The new album consists of eleven great songs recorded in a more back to basics style - it's a real performance album and it has a warm organic flavour to it.

 Album Gran Turismo
Instead of being happy with their success, they fretted about their artistic credibility, concerned that they were seen as merely a light pop band instead of an ironic pop band.
Since the band has talent, there are not only hints of past glory, there are suggestions where the group intended to go, but too often Gran Turismo sounds like diluted Garbage, not new-school Cardigans.
It may simply be a transitional album, but it's a dispiriting listen, nevertheless.

 Rolling Stone : Gran Turismo : Review
The Cardigans' embrace of bubblegum-pop values has always made room for a touch of perversion – and not just because they played lounge versions of Black Sabbath songs on their last two albums.
In mining Sixties kitsch for its melodic potential on those earlier albums, the Cardigans were so happy it hurt; their puppy-love travails always had a hint of masochism running beneath them.
On Gran Turismo, they give the irony an even harsher twist.

 Polkonline.com: Music SectionGran Turismo, The Cardigans (Stockholm/Mercury) 11/27/98   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The Swedish band misrepresents itself again with ''My Favourite Game,'' a peppy song at odds with the new album ''Gran Turismo.'' While that single is an ingratiating burst of energy well-suited to a freewheeling trip down the highway, ''Gran Turismo'' on the whole is a meandering cure for insomnia.
Sometimes the atmosphere of ''Gran Turismo'' is a compelling mindgame of bittersweet vocals, subtle mechanical grooves and nearly subliminal industrial effects.
Yet the chemistry runs thin on ''Hanging Around,'' Persson's tranquillity is tremendously dull on ''Higher,'' and the album rarely entertains above a subconscious level.

 The Cardigans Gran Turismo Japan CD ALBUM (118078)
Known as a culture for elaborate and excessive packaging, their approach to the CD album is no exception.
Japanese CD albums often benefit from extra music and new video-style content, to further entice the Japanese public to buy their native release and not an import.
Non-album tracks and exclusive mixes often feature and there are a huge amount of 'Japan-Only' releases that do not have an equivalent release elsewhere in the world.
