On Crash! Boom! Bang! Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson rock harder than on their pop-friendly albums prior to this, and the result shows growth but not the fun that made them so popular in the first place. Sharing lead vocals, they prove their voices are still in top form, and Gessle's songwriting skills are still sharp, but the hooks aren't as catchy. To go from the painfully pretty "Fading Like a Flower (Every Time You Leave)" on Joyride to the apathetic "Vulnerable" on this album shows a serious downward slide. Despite this, however, the tender title track is one of the best ballads they've recorded; and with their loose, jangly guitars, "Sleeping in my Car" and "Harleys & Indians (Riders in the Sky)" are skillful pop/rock songs that might have been too pop for rock listeners and too rock for mid-'90s pop fans. Though the two have an edge on this album, they almost seem to have become a bit bored.

Bryan Buss - All Music Guide


These two Swedes favor ballads and mid-tempo numbers that make one hanker for the real thing (be it the Beatles or the Babys). Elsewhere, merrily goofy crunchers like ”Harley & Indians” embarrassingly regurgitate American pop icons and candy rock. If only Per Gissle had let the charged-up Marie Fredriksson sing lead vocals on all 15 songs, Crash might’ve qualified as an unqualified guilty pleasure. C+

Crash! Boom! Bang! is Roxette's fifth studio album, released on 9 April 1994. Though highly successful in Europe and South America, the album was badly marketed by EMI in the United States. A shorter version of the album was made available a few months earlier, as a special deal at the McDonald's restaurant chain, called Favorites from Crash! Boom! Bang!. The Japanese version includes the track "Almost Unreal", which was (for unknown reasons) entitled "It's Almost Unreal". In the UK a vinyl version of the album was also released, despite CDs taking over as the mainstream format. "Sleeping in My Car", "Crash! Boom! Bang!", "Fireworks", "Run to You" and "Vulnerable" were released as singles.
