    With "Love Fool," the Cardigans catapulted from a cult favorite to an international phenomenon. Instead of being happy with their success, they fretted about their artistic credibility, concerned that they were seen as merely a light pop band instead of an ironic pop band. This usually results in a self-conscious departure from form -- and that is exactly what Gran Turismo, the follow-up to First Band on the Moon, is. There are still elements of the Cardigans' melodic style, but they have trimmed away their sense of humor and style, adding vague electronica experiments and mildly distorted guitars in their wake.

I picked this one because of how dark it is, and I love the production and variety of instrumentation. Plus, these songs were just great. "Explode", "Higher" and "Hanging Around" are my personal favorites.

"Gran Turismo" is a wild card of an album, it sticks out in the Cardigans ' discography, abandoning their pop roots almost completely in favour of electronic sounds and darker tones. At times, it can be the most rewarding ...
