I like it. It has some really great tunes.
I've always been wondering how it would be if the band had recorded(ed?) it. It's great craftsmanship in the songwriting.

I was a big fan of Roxette in the early 90's. I dropped they for BJ haha when I discoverd BJ i gave up Roxette
Per Gessle must be one of the biggest hitmakers ever to have walked on this planet. His chours are so catchy that it scares me! I think the title of one of their "best of" sum up Roxette: "Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus!"
Not sure, where you're going with you're comparison to BJ, but I've always thought of Gessle as a man who just wrote songs for fun and summer.
BJ got some more bones in their nose
