As Nina Persson's velour-smooth vocals prove, Life is much sweeter and more profound than a simple a box of chocolates. Her gorgeous voice is the perfect complement to the rest of the Cardigans' jazz-tinged retro sound. Straight out of Sweden, the quintet plays a unique hybrid of confectionated pop and space age bachelor-lounge music. The lush arrangements are festooned with vibes, horns, bassoons, bells, strings, and futuristic synthesizers, leaving one with the incorrect but plausible impression that these intensely creative Scandinavians have kidnaped Burt Bacharach and looted his back catalog. Amazingly, there's not a sample to be found on the entire disc. The bureaucratic FDA has yet to develop (let alone, approve) an inoculation strong enough to resist the highly infectious pop of "Daddy's Car" or "Rise & Shine" from attacking your pop immune system. The flute refrains on "Over the Water" and "Sick & Tired" (the first single) are pure Ennio Morricone spaghetti western kitsch, while the trip-hoppy "Our Space" could be a track on a Portishead album. With nary a lame song to be found on the entire 14 tracks, Life is worth living over and over again.
