Hunting High and Low "Sledgehammer" and "Big Time," two videos which progressed further down the roads A-ha ventured in groundbreaking use of animation in music video. In 2002, "Take On Me" was ranked at number eight on "VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders", although this status is slightly misleading as it reflects A-ha's lack of mainstream success in the United States; the group was by no means a one-hit wonder elsewhere or in career terms. In 2006, "Take On Me" was ranked number 24 on "VH1's Greatest Songs of the 1980s". The cover photograph was taken by Just Loomis and was nominated in 1986
High, Low and In Between Van Zandt's previous album "Delta Momma Blues", which features very sparse arrangements, "High Low and in Between" incorporates a folk-rock edge.
