iii

I may be too harsh in giving this album only 3 stars ---- I'd go for 3.5 if given the option --- because I really did like this CD overall, but compared to their last two albums, this one was not nearly as good, not as memorable, not as buoyant, not as joyous, just not quite as special.Okay, perhaps the other two albums were just so amazing that this one suffers by comparison. To my ears the songs on here just doesn't feel as well crafted or as well honed or as developed as the one of the other Miike Snow albums. But still, there are some very good moments on this album and I think that most fans will enjoy this new album nonetheless. It's not like they totally changed their style and giving you something unexpected. And frankly, I don't think most fans of Miike Snow really want something new and different. More of the same please, but better material would help.I do give them bonus points for writing a song that makes you want to sing "Genghis Khan" over and over again! Now that's more like it!

I love this album. This is my first Mike Snow Album I got hooked with Genghis Khan and then locked in by Back of the Car, but the entire album is great. It is a new sound that mixes soul/rock/rap with electronica and it is just amazing completely new and totally worth the purchase. I am sold and look forward to more.

I have been a fan of Miike Snow for a while now, and am happy to see them continue evolving. Ghengis Kahn is a great song (and video), but the album as a whole shows a variety of songs that transcend age and genre. If you are looking for more of the same from their first 2 albums, then you will probably be disappointed. iii stands on its own. It is a bit more pop then the previous two, but a good listen from beginning to end. iii, like Miike Snow as a group is just good music; free of preconceptions and the pressure of trying to be anything...It just is.

This is a great album. I loved Miike Snow's 'Animals' and I heard 'The Heart of Me' on Forza Horizon 3 and immediately bought this album.I'm always kind of disappointed when I saw it was on the 1 vinyl disc, but it sounds surprisingly great and I don't think it is even 180g. Very happy with this purchase, it has barely left the platter since I bought it.

A departure from their previous albums, iii is a glorious exploration of multiple styles within the genre invoking everything from house influence to Imogen Heap to a feel good dance number in Genghis Khan. If you like their previous work but want to go on a journey with Miike Snow as they delve into the finer points of the genre, you won't be disappointed.

Unlike the previous albums, where every song was memorable, only 5/11 tracks stand out and are on heavy rotation. While it's a solid listen, I'd suggest you stream it (Prime Member) twice before you decide to purchase.Personal favorites:2. The Heart of Me3. Genghis Khan4. Heart Is Full6. I Feel the Weight8. Lonely Life

A good pressing of the album. It sounds fantastic on vinyl.

This pop encompasses a wide variety of genres! Also, this latter release contains 10 brief tracks that earned every star I gave them! Thanx!
