After a seven-year absence during which the Norwegian pop trio went off to paint or record solo albums, A-Ha return with Minor Earth Major Sky, their sixth studio album. Recorded in New York over the course of a year, this one is filled with characteristically subtle melodies, sweeping pop production, and a haunting melancholy. Some tracks (like the winsome "Sun Never Shone That Day") border on the bland, but there are songs that have bite--such as the icy, William Orbit-style ballad "Little Black Heart"; the big, blowsy title track; and the satirical "The Company Man," where the band sing frankly of being ripped off by their record label ("Deals fell into our arms / And out of our hands"). There's also a nod to the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" in the epic, socially conscious ballad "Mary Ellen Makes the Moment Count."

Song Lyrics

Minor Earth / Major Sky
Little Black Heart
Velvet
Summer Moved On
The Sun Never Shine That Day
To Let You Win
The Company Man
Thought That It Was You
I Wish I Cared
Barely Hanging On
You'll Never Get Over Me
I Won't Forget Her
Mary Ellen Makes The Moment Count
