You did a really great review of Scoundrel Days and the first paragraph was spot on and summed the band up perfectly. We've discussed a-ha before and Scoundrel Days is in many ways the odd album out in the first three classic albums. It has the poppy singles like the other two, but its best tracks as you say have Morten Harkett sounding urgent on several tracks and he never quite sounded like that on the other albums. This album always has a great sense of nostalgia for me and the fact of the matter is, that few vocalists could pull this type of album off anyway, as not many are as gifted as Morten Harkett vocally.
