Reviews & Discussion
This must be one of the most overhyped albums. Melody AM got a lot of airplay back in 2001 and was considered as something new and fresh. Well, it isn`t. One half of the group, Svein Berge was part of the formation Drum Island back in 1997. Drum Island released one incredible album with the same name on the legendary Belgian label Apollo. If you`ve heard this album, and I`m sure most of the so called Röyksopp fans never heard of Drum Island, you can clearly hear that Melody AM is just a poor copy of it. I can`t count how many samples of Drum Island were used again in Melody AM as the album is full of it, a cheap way to the top? Don`t know, what I do know is that Röyksopp didn`t put much effort in creating something new. Even today all their new songs sound the same, over and over again and they get away with it.
