Summary: Great album
Comment: If you like the usual flare of Aqua's music, this will not disappoint. The techno beat is great for dancing, cleaning the house, or just having fun. My kids love it!

Summary: A funny album!
Comment: Well since i was a kid, the only song that i heard of aqua was her classic "Barbie Girl", but i was always curious about this group; I thought they were just one hit wonder group, but i found out that they are great musicians,with lots of great songs, and touching lyrics.
My favorite songs of this albums are cartoon heroes, freaky friday, but above all, aquarius!!! this song it's simply fantastic.
If you wanna have some fun, and then, to have some fantastic memories you must have this album!

Summary: Aqua. Plain,simpel, and good earfillers on this one
Comment: Lene Nystrøm has a certain charisma, and this CD is very "easy listen". When you mix these part`s together, you get an earfriendly mix of good dance/pop music. The reason is the rythmic beat alltrough that makes it as somekind of "quality bubblegum" popmusic. Track 1 Cartoon Heroes, say`s it all. This is very cartoonish, both vocal and musical wise. Lene has a "cartoonish" voice where here voice fits perfect in to this kind of music. Track 2 Around the world is an another exampel, with here let`s call it "squeaky" vocal brings this song forward in a quite interesting way. Rene Dif growling singin
is also a funny contrast, which put`s them together as a whole. Track 3 Freaky Friday, has a fast backbeat rythm, which pushes it more or less headalong in a very fast tempo. Something different this one, with a small dash of country music bit`s and pices here and there. Track 4 We belong to the sea is a great pop song, with more depth to Lene`s and Rene`s voice. It has a melody which is very easy to fetch, and it`s nothing wrong with that. Track 5 An apple a day, it`s a hardtop, fastback, sprint Aqua song, which goes around in a dizzy way. Track 6 Halloween. Aqua goes "horror movie" this time. A creepy opener, but then it fells flat. The rest is to thin to make it scary. There are some weird Rene Dif growls hear and there but it doesn`t help too much. Track 7 Good guys is better and here the right "buttons" when it comes to "hit potensial are put on. There are more debt to Lene`s voice on this one. Track 8 Back from Mars, are in the Sc Fi department. To much cliches, but as Lene has sang before: Life it`s full of cliches. Track 9 Aquarius is the ballad of the CD, and it`s ok, but nothing special. Here voice sounds clear and has some depth and flair on this one. Track 10 Cuba Libre. Aqua does "carriebean" but it ends up as "poor whoman`s ethnic" inspired music.
Track 11. Bumble Bees, it`s a very funky "brainwasher" in a more or less positive sence. Track 12 Goodbye to the circus is a good closer, with a "circus touch" musical whise. Aqua. Plain and simpel dance music, with many times an ear for the good and effective beat and melodies. Aqua is anyway something different, a little bit over average in their genre of music. 3 1/2 star, well somewhere around there.

Summary: Back from NeverNeverLand
Comment: Amazing album, expected of the amazing group that gave us Barbie Girls, Happy Boys and Girls, and Turn Back Time. This pop-funk album is a follow-up on their highly-successful first album Aquarium, and this one is slightly self-titled, Aquarius. Tracks like Cartoon Heroes are catchy and fun to listen to, and on a weekend morning the music is just happy and brightens up a day. A combination of Lene's cartoonish-cute voice, and Rene's cheeky-sounding growl make for very nice music and pop. Now disbanded, it brings back many memories, and is worth every cent of it.

Editorial Reviews:

On Aquarium, Aqua were "Barbie Girls"; now they're "Cartoon Heroes." A slight change in context for their second album, but, essentially, it's business as usual. And let's not forget that Aqua do this slapstick kiddie-pop thing with a lot more panache than their shamelessly novelty Euro-goons peers. The relentless zaniness of Aquarius may sometimes be cloying, especially those too-chirpy chipmunk voices on "Cartoon Heroes," but there's no denying that this is a pop group that really lives this pop lark--shaved-headed frontman Rene really does talk in that comedy growl and frontwoman Lene really doesn't wear more than a stretched scrap of PVC whenever she leaves the house. This makes Aquarius quite likeable, actually--especially on the slapstick-trance workout of "Around the World," which even manages to squeeze in a brief geography lesson. --Louis Pattison
