M2M - The Best Of M2M (2003)

 

      The Day You Went Away: The Best of M2M is the last album and greatest hits compilation by Norwegian teen-pop duo M2M. It was released in 2003 after M2M disbanded in 2002.

      The compilation includes all of their singles from their two studio albums Shades of Purple and The Big Room, as well as acoustic versions of some other songs. It also contains a Mandarin Chinese version of their hit "Pretty Boy" and a Spanish version of "Everything You Do". "Everything" is also shortened without the faded out ending and "Everything You Do" was completely re-recorded with new vocals. It also has three new songs, "Not to Me", "Is You", and "Wait for Me". A second disc is included with the album, which contains music videos and a featurette, as well as footage girls in Bangkok and Norway.

      Marisa Brown from AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, concluding "It's way more M2M than is necessary, but it certainly does the job of giving the best of them." The liner notes include lyrics to the songs; however, there is a mistake in the lyrics for "Don't Say You Love Me", as the notes contain the lyrics from the version of the song that appeared on Pokémon: The First Movie, whereas the album includes the version that appeared on Shades of Purple.

M2M - The Big Room (2002)

 

      The Big Room is the second and final studio album by Norwegian pop music duo M2M. It was released in Asia in November 2001 and in the rest of the world in early 2002. It reached No. 16 in Norway and No. 61 in Australia. Two singles were released worldwide from the album, Everything and What You Do About Me. A further two promotional singles, Don't and Wanna Be Where You Are, were released in the US and Philippines only respectively. Despite critical acclaim, sales were disappointing in comparison to their previous album, Shades of Purple. Facing mounting pressure from their record company, M2M disbanded in late 2002.

      Everything was the first single from the album. It was released in Asia in October 2001 and the US on 26 February 2002. It reached No. 6 in Norway, No. 27 in Australia and No. 44 in New Zealand. The music video was directed by Chris Applebaum. The second single was What You Do About Me. It reached No. 46 in Australia. The music video was filmed in Krabi, Thailand and was directed by Tryan George, and was to be M2M's last music video. The track Don't was released in the US-only as a promo single.
