This came out in 2000 — or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
No, you aren’t having déjà vu.
This isn’t the same CD this Swedish cartoon cance-pop quartet put out two years ago. It’s not even close — that one was called Aquarium. This one’s Aquarius. See? A world of difference. And that goes double for the music, which has the same Olive Oyl and Bluto vocals, the same candy-coloured neon pop, the same relentlessly effervescent disco thump, the same silly topics — bumble bees, circuses, cartoon heroes. The only thing it doesn’t have is a song as infectious as Barbie Girl. Which may mean Aqua will be spared the task of trying to think of a third album title based on the same word.
