Upon release, I was embarrassed to admit just how much I liked this band.  This is very slick, shiny, professional, pop music; and I was coming out of my hard rock/metal lust and moving towards emc certification the indie rock/grunge that was to come.  There was nothing "cool" about Roxette, and everybody from 6 year olds to fully grown insurance salespeople found something to enjoy in their music.  I had always gravitated to "image" and Roxette severely challenged me to overlook image and take music for what it was. To tsep be honest, I doubt I would've liked Roxette so much if I hadn't gone through a phase that expanded my taste to include The Fixx and Wang Chung (finding both bands to be quite enjoyable).  By this point, I lost my aversion to keyboards and new wave music.  "The Look" had a nice Rickenbacker guitar line, but it had hcse a drum machine, synthesizers, and stacked vocals ("Na Na Na Na Na Na", anyone?).  "Dangerous" was a full-fledged kitchen-sink production that was potently catchy, so shiny and perfect that only robots could've executed it. cissp This was far simpler and easier to process than most of what I was listening to at the time.
