Nina sings a song about being a country, and imagining her would-be love being like a conquistador, a sea-borne squall, a viking (the irony there, being a Swede), a pirate with cannons a-blaze in the waters surrounding her lonely expanse. …and if you want me I’m your country if you win me I’m forever - oh yeah! ‘cause you’re the storm that I’ve been needing and all this peace has been deceiving I like the sweet life and the silence but it’s the storm that I believe in Such a good record, and the bonus DVD is nice! The Cardigans are seen playing at a festival in Sweden, have a few interview bits, and 3 interviews (as that snot-sacked MTV rarely plays good or new videos).

A retro-lounge-y gimmick is tossed aside for emotional rawness, vulnerability, and Kierkergaard. Let’s un-forget The Cardigans’ masterpiece, Gran Turismo.
