Our Take

A-HA's latest album, "Cast In Steel," is like a blast from the past, if that past was stuck in the 80s and refusing to get out. The Norwegian band, known for their iconic hit "Take on Me," has returned with a collection of songs that will transport you back to a time when mullets were cool and leg warmers were a fashion statement.

The album kicks off with the title track, setting the tone for what's to come - synth-heavy pop with catchy hooks and infectious melodies. Lead singer Morten Harket's vocals are as smooth as ever, effortlessly gliding over the pulsating beats and shimmering synths.

Tracks like "Under The Makeup" and "The Wake" showcase A-HA's signature sound, while also incorporating modern elements to keep things fresh. "Objects In The Mirror" is a standout ballad, showcasing Harket's emotive vocals and the band's knack for creating heartfelt songs.

Despite its nostalgic feel, "Cast In Steel" never feels dated. A-HA has managed to stay true to their roots while also evolving with the times, creating an album that will appeal to both long-time fans and new listeners alike.

In conclusion, "Cast In Steel" may not reinvent the wheel, but it doesn't need to. A-HA's ability to craft catchy pop tunes with a touch of nostalgia is what makes them stand out in the music industry. This album is a solid addition to their discography and a must-listen for anyone craving a trip down memory lane.
