Our Take

A-HA Original Album Series

Rating: 7.8

Norwegian pop legends A-HA have been making waves in the music industry for over three decades, and their Original Album Series is a testament to their staying power. This box set includes five of the band's most iconic albums, from the synth-heavy sounds of "Hunting High and Low" to the introspective ballads of "Stay on These Roads."

Lead singer Morten Harket's ethereal vocals soar above the lush production, creating a cinematic experience that is both nostalgic and timeless. Tracks like "Take on Me" and "The Sun Always Shines on TV" still stand out as instant classics, while deeper cuts like "Cry Wolf" showcase the band's versatility and songwriting prowess.

While some may dismiss A-HA as an '80s relic, this box set proves that their music has aged like a fine wine. Each album shines in its own unique way, from the infectious hooks to the introspective lyrics that touch on themes of love, loss, and longing.

Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, A-HA's Original Album Series is a must-have for any music collection. So grab your Walkman, pop in a cassette, and let A-HA transport you to a world of synth-pop bliss. Trust us, you won't regret it.
