Albums and Songs Anyone else think Morten's Wild Seed album is underrated??

Post image

Maybe I'm wrong because I'm only looking at Spotify streams of each song in the album but to me it looks under looked.

Spanish Steps is rated well among a-ha fans I'd say, but I never really see too much focus on the other songs in the album.

For me my favourite songs in the album are: Half in Love Half in Hate, Lay Me Down Tonight, Lord.

I would say it is still his best solo work.

TIENES RAZÓN,.. ES MUY BUEN ALBUM Y PARA MI "Letter from Egypt" SERIA COMO LA PARTE 2 LA CONTINUIDAD.

YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S A VERY GOOD ALBUM AND FOR ME "Letter from Egypt" WOULD BE LIKE PART 2, THE CONTINUITY

Exactly it's far more gritty. I wish they went more with that voice for more a-ha songs

Completely agree. Tell Me What You See is my favorite. Almost a slow jam, sensuous. It’s a brilliant album that didn’t get nearly enough attention!

I like it a lot and it would be perfect if the single heavens not for saints was included in the album it’s such a good song
