Ace of Base's strong point is not versatility — all of their hit singles have exactly the same beat. But that doesn't matter. On their debut album, «The Sign», they managed to create a piece of melodic Euro-disco that was a huge hit all over the world, appealing to both dance clubs and pop radio. And with singles like «All That She Wants», «The Sign» and «Don t Turn Around», it's easy to see why they were hits — the beat is relentless and the hooks are incessantly catchy. — Stephen Thomas Erlewine. |
