Gran Turismo is sheer brilliance. Very few bands can completely change their sound within 5 years, and sound great all the way through.This album is an amalgamation of all the deep, dark undercurrents running through the Cardigan's previous albums, sliding into it's greatest glumness during the morose, depressing "Marvel Hill" in which Nina Persson covertly explains that nothing in life is worth trying for because there will always be something better to achieve..
