Adult Alternative Pop/Rock

As winter delivers another arctic blast, it's a comfort to have music as warm as a campfire. The Cardigans fifth LP marked a shift from their shiny pop, debuting a country twang infused with heartbreak and yearning. There's no "Lovefool" or "My Favourite Game," but for those in need of nourishment and soul, it's fantastic. "Please Sister," "Live And Learn," "For What It's Worth," and "Communication" are some of the best songs they've ever written.

- Neil Z. Yeung
