Scalpel... tampon... clip... more scalpel... pressure falls... we lose... connect the defibrillator... discharge... more discharge... pulse is... to Live... the Legendary Swedish pop Duo Roxette after a ten-year coma and desperate resuscitation measures back in the Studio again to try their hand at old-fashioned romantic pop-rock. Doctor of the highest class, excellent therapy and proper hospital has done its job. Before us 12 brand new songs from Roxette, United in the album Charm School.
Not that we are old, like telling us Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson. And shoved the plate with his new, but paradoxically archaic music DJ on modern Swedish disco. DJ twirls in his hands, he sees a familiar name, out of respect for age puts it, but after only two songs under the disapproving the buzz of the crowd returns a disgruntled owners. Well, that's okay. Right there around the corner there is still a disco for those over 40...
Does this material verification music retrograde? Most likely will be, for the Roxette concerts halls still full. However, in the history of world music album definitely get lost just as it disappeared from radar 10 years ago the group itself. Is it really so? How to say... Among quite monotonous monotony "Charm School", of course, there are glimpses, such as Way Out or Speak to Me, but these tracks are rather echoes of the past, not completely wasted skill and professionalism than the real creative energy.
Yes, the album even has a hit. But only one - She's Got Nothing On (But The Radio). At this age it is foolish to hope that just one idiomatically fine phrase, sung under the catchy melody that will pull the album from which millions of people were waiting for something really strong and unusual.
In short, Charm School - record disappointment. Old Swedish horse imagined, that, according to popular wisdom, not spoil the furrow, and ran clumsily jumping on the field. The case when both the experience and expensive post-production can not influence on the final result.
