yea it gets smashing reviews, but the song i heard was just standard techno with some slightly embarassing singing.. like a european geddy lee.. i'm gonna play another song or two on my show to see if maybe that was just a poor example of their greatness

i was always under the impression they were good, but then i never heard anything by them that would have been special. kind of a warm-up band for moby (what they are too) (=lame)

they're ok....I listened to Melody A.M. while driving with friends through snowy mountans one morning. It really has that snowy/morning sun feeling to it.
I saw a concert this weekend with Royksopp, and they really kick it live...

'poor leno' is absolutely the worst song of theirs, at least out of what i've heard...
they've got some nice ones too...

this music is good in case you're driving with people that cant stand electronica and if you cant stand their shit, you put royskopp on and everyone is happy

I like Royksopp. They do REALLY AWESOME mixes like:
Kings Of Convenience " I Don't Know What I can Save You From"
Tits: Play that on your show, TRUST ME.

tolstoyed> what you mean is that everyone is disappointed. you, because Royksopp is crap electronica, and everyone else because it is any form of electronica. nobody wins.

I happen to enjoy Melody A.M. a ton, both CD's are sweet.
'Poor Leno' is their poppiest song that's why you probably don't like it, and I can agree with you for the most part. If you want a song with good vocals then 'Remind Me' is the one to choose.
Other than that, I've been listening to the album a lot recently, and their are some quality tunes.
'In Space' is jaw-dropping. What an amazing song, and my favorite by them.
