Teddybears whip together a giddy, mixed-up sonic mash of international styles, resulting in their own indescribably delectable sound. Collaborators on this release include Iggy Pop, Neneh Cherry, Elephant Man, Annie, and the Soundtrack Of Our Lives' Ebbot Lundberg. The result is an awe-inspiring collection of genre-hopping modern pop that's inventive, irresistible, and impossible to pin down. The Stockholm-based trio's effervescent pop has already been featured in a variety of films and commercials. Most recently, the fab funk of "Cobrastyle" was heard on HBO's "Entourage" as well as in the Tab Energy Drink ad campaign, and will be featured in trailers for the upcoming film, "Employee Of The Month", starring Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson.

Customer Rating: 
Summary: Cool music with catchy tunes.
Comment: I had never heard of the Teddy Bears, but wanted the Cobrastyle track. It turns out that there is also a track by Iggy Pop. I have developed a real appreciation for the Teddy Bears and really like this CD.

Summary: My new favorite record
Comment: I saw these guys at Coachella last year and not only do they put on an amazing performance, there studio work is nothin short of superb. This is definitely an album you can put on and listen from track 1 until the very end and get into every minute! All my buddies are hooked!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Semi-disposable Swedish Indie Pop Music
Comment: The sound samples thoughtfully provided by Amazon pretty much tell it all. This is a fun, facile and rather forgettable compilation of synth-based music from a lot out of Sweden who used to play some form of hardcore punk rock, evidently. This is a rather abrupt and profound musical volte face and it works. Although the compositions themselves are pretty musically unremarkable, and yes, I include that absurd but clever little bit of kitsch 'cobrastyle' here. A nice touch was to recruit Iggy Pop to sing 'punkrocker' for afterall he was the prototypical punk if ever there was one. This album is good enough so that I would definitely be interested in hearing their next effort but not so great that I'd seek it out, if you know what I mean.

Summary: A perfect party mix
Comment: Fun, fun, fun. I've listened to this for almost a year and am not yet tired of it. You can't wait to hear what the next track will bring. I've turned several friends onto this CD and we all keep it at the top of our CD stack.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Fun album that rocks
Comment: Punkrocker is the best track on the album, but in whole this thing is just loads of fun. Anyone who likes to rock will absolutely dig this album. Get it now!
