Gran Turismo

The band reappeared in 1998 as a souped-up rock beast with 'Gran Turismo'. The video for `My Favourite Game' featured a tattooed Persson in a ´Thelma & Louise´(1991) esque role as a criminal on the run. It was the band's most consistent album to date, with several tracks written by Persson individually. It spawned the European hit singles with songs like `My Favourite Game' and `Erase/Rewind' and sold 3 million copies worldwide, however it failed to make a dent in the American market.
After touring and promoting the album, the band decided to take a hiatus.
