Ace Of Base: The Bridge (Arista)
J.D. Considine, Spin, February 1996
IF EVER A group appeared to consist entirely of shiny, happy people, it's Ace of Base. Simply looking at them is enough to give most of us gene envy, while their singles are so irrepressibly catchy that humming along is almost a reflex action. In short, they seem the sort of group whose worldview would be utterly unclouded by anxiety or existential doubt.
