Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
While cliché has it that second albums are difficult, Lene Marlin's Another Day almost didn't happen at all. So shell-shocked was the Norwegian singer-songwriter by the runaway success of her debut album Playing My Game--which thanks to chirpy first single "Sitting Down Here" sold almost two million copies worldwide--that she contemplated retiring from music altogether, feeling ill-equipped for stardom. Understandably then, her follow-up, which was four years in the making, is littered with fragile songs of insecurity and doubt, with Marlin sounding every inch the little-girl-lost looking for answers and comfort.

Much to her credit, she's stayed true to herself rather than trying to fit the pop-star profile and supply catchy hits. The irrepressibly cute sing-along of "Sitting Down Here" was always the odd one out among her debut album's folksy laments, and wisely Another Day sticks to her original plan with a raft of beautifully intimate lullabies. And while written with all the ambiguity of love songs, the hushed sways of "Fight Against the Hours" and "From This Day", and tale of separation "You Weren't There", resonate with a tangible loneliness and alienation that suggest her wilderness years weren't totally in vain. --Dan Gennoe

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums in the World..., 15 Oct 2003

By A Customer

Lene has surpassed herself with this, her second album, providing us with what must be one of the two best albums ever, along with her first, 'Playing My Game'.
For me the tracks are so rounded that they work excellently by themsleves, but together they become an incredibly gripping collection that demands to be listened to again and again!
'Another Day' itself is a very strong song with a wonderfully uplifiting melody. The clever inclusion of strings in 'Sorry' is not - as is sadly the case in most pop songs with strings - intrusive but actually adds a lot to the tune. 'My Love' has such touching lyrics, and its bare guitar melody is truly beautiful. 'Whatever It Takes' and 'Disguise' have very intriguing lyrics, and unique tunes. The masterpiece 'Story' is reminiscent of 'A Place Nearby' (Track 10 from the first album) which also spoke so eloquently about the sadness of death. The most adventurous of the tracks has to be 'Fight Against the Hours', which uses to great effect a bass riff similar to that in U2's 'With or Without You'.
There just aren't enough words to express how good this album is, and the DVD is also well worth buying. Pity there are only 5 stars!
After a long break, Lene Marlin has made a superb addition to her musical repertoire, a splendid gift from an artist who has already given us so much that is special.

5.0 out of 5 stars emotional,addictive, 7 Nov 2003

By	"sanvean2000" - See all my reviews

i cannot say without a doubt this album is the best off the yr
its a story book off beautifull lyrics and beautifull sounding folk music with lene's angelic voice and no its very different form her first album wich is also a fab album.

1.anouther day-a very good starter and a little touching it also has a william orbit sound effect to it this will make a good single and pritty uplifting.

2.faces-a haunting mid paced track a haunting piano and gothic choir in the background and beautifull guitar rifs and very haunting lyrics one off my faves it about beeing there fo the one u want to be with.

3.you werent there-anouther fave off mine it goes from slow to fast and slow to fast with a little uplifting folk sound i love it itsabout a break up anyone will relate to this one.

4.from this day-again lene delves into anouther haunting ballad and again it sound like william orbit has added sound effects to it and i love the kinda synched strings a very imple tune o listen to.

5.sorry-she delves inot a more upbeat folk ballad theres nothing touchy about this song but its catchy and will make a good single.

6.my love-this song made me cry its haunting and makes u hungry to listen to it again and again she plays this with just her guitar on some echo effect wich gives it a beautefull sound
one off the best songs she has ever written its a tearjerker.

7.whatever it takes-again lene goes into a mid paces folk song again its anouther pritty tune and a little haunting i could to sing to it all day.

8.fight against the hrs-the bass in the slow folk song is creepy and very good with beautifull guitar effects again this is anouther haunting ballad it made me think alot it has haunting string sections.

9.disguise-a gourgous mid paced ethereal track a lovly tune not that much haunting but good to listen to during a nihtime drive butin a way can leave u with a tear or french kissing ur love and keeping him/her close.

10.story-this is anouther beautifull tearjerker about suicide and left me havng it on repeat along with track 6 its just mostly lene's angelic voice with a hevy drum loop a piano and very low strings and bass very haunting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes!, 9 Oct 2003

By	fruitcake (UK) - See all my reviews

Three years after releasing "Playing my Game", Lene has returned. Its been quite a wait!

But, its been worth it! I picked up Lene's debut album in 2000, on the strength of one song (Sitting Down Here). Ive found myself again buying a Lene Marlin album, based on hearing one track. And, just as with her debut, I can safely say its money well spent!

Theres so much to like about this album; Lene's vocals sound stunning, most especially in "My Love" and "Fight Against the Hours". These are two exceptional tracks; both have a haunting edge to them; listen to them late at night, when you're alone, and see what I mean!

As with her debut, "Another Day" seems to be an intensly personal album; both for Lene, and for us who listen to it, with each listen I have found the experience to be intense and emotional. I cannot listen to lyrics in "Disguise" without feeling something about myself in them.

in a way, I can't find the words to describe this album; but if you could see me now as I type this review, while playing the cd in the background, my smile probably says it all!
