This album defines what debut albums ahould be. This is the heart of the Sugababes, one of the best girlbands ever
Bought this solely on the strength of 'New Year' - a track I'd always liked. Seeing it on an Xmas countdown on one of the many Sky music channels was a) a welcome relief from the staple crap that usually features and b) a good reason to purchase the album. These days, the girls are a world away from this, more polished and packaged. Here, they are clearly very young but are true. It is nice to think that their management at the time decided to steer them well clear of the usual stylist shenanigans, and just allowed them to do their own thing and be dark and, well, quite miserable. And they were the better for it. Some of the tracks have dated, but most are excellent, and all the better for having Siobhan on them. I'd forgotten how good 'Run for cover' was until I played this. Very chilling and eerie. Many people do not like 'Lush life', but I think it is an excellent piece of laid-back urban funk. It is sad to think that Siobhan does not get the recognition that is deserved for her more recent work (especially 'Ghosts'), but on this album it is hard to think that it could have sounded any better with either of the following two line-ups. They are good now, but they were raw here. And they sound better for it.Read full review
The Sugababes were fantastic in their early years. Keisha, Mutya, and Siobhan made a good sound. I like Keisha, Mutya, and Heidi even better. Mutya solo music isn't as good, IMHO. Too bad Mutya left the group, she was the whole reason that I checked-out Sugababes.
I am a big fan of the sugababes and wanted to have all their albums so got this and it is great. A Cd well worth buying.
WHAT A FABULOUS ALBUM BY THIS WONDERFUL BRITISH GIRL GROUP. HABE GOT ALL OF THEIR ALBUMS AND THOROUGHLY ENJOY LISTENING TO THEIR MUSIC. ITS SOULFUL AND VERY RELAXING. SOME MUSIC ON IT MAKES YOU WANT TO GET UP AND DANCE TO. GLAD I PURCHASED THIS OFF E-BAY
