Really wow! I had no idea they were bringing out a greatest hits album. I'm kind of excited.

Just listened to their new single on Spotify. It is surprisingly good.

They changed the line where it used to mention Michael Jackson Come on, it's not like his name is swearing, or a sexual reference

Heard the song a couple of months ago and still loving it

I liked aqua. I bought their first album in 1997 called "aquarium".

I originally had plans on buying their 2nd album in 1999, but for some reason or another, never got around to buying it.

i dont think many people realise just how good they actually are, i mean they wrote and produced everything they put out, and yet i think people class them with all the other awful pop bands that add nothing to their music what so ever

i think barbie girl is actually the biggest piss take of pop culture around at that time

i read interviews with the two main song writers in the band and they said that they were so fed up of bands being desperate to seem 'real' or credible that they decided to go in the complete opposite direction and take the piss out of it

everyone should see them live, they sound nothing like they do on the record, a great blend of computerised synths and classic instruments like drums guitars bass etc, they sound 100times better, literally

but even if they do sound worse on the record, when youve sold 35 million or something like they have, you cant really complain

Its very ummm 90s!, I love it!, mix of Steps, B-Witched with some 80s and 90s Dance mixed in. Another hit for Aqua I think XD

I always liked Turn Back Time. One of their more serious songs.

their lyrics were a bit silly but the production of the songs were incredible.

However as Freddy_Lives pointed out Turn Back Time is an incredible song! Definitely their best song.

do u really think their lyrics were that silly? When you actually think about barbie girl are the lyrics really that stupid? They are pretty clever if you ask me, no wonder mattel tried to sue them.

and when you consider some of their other projects its clear theres a lot more brains going on behind the scenes than they let on about:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EROOFaVFJRg <- that was done by one of the members of aqua, pretty original and moving imo
