It's a great album. Love the bonus, especially I say a Prayer for you. The artwork looks a little cheap, but its ok
Their most consistent pop record so far, after a few listens every single track grows to being a substantial pop track - there isn't one comprehensive weak track on the whole thing. The album artwork moved the girls into a new direction as if to say 'we're Xenomania now'. Starting with the fantastic 5 singles, The Show, Love Machine (which alone are worth buying the cd for), the slightly incipid but catchy ballad I'll stand by you, Jump and Wake Me Up- by the time the first album track kicks in you wonder where the tempo has gone. Deadlines and Diets is slow but clever, and takes a while to get into. After this you have the cheesy but catchy Big Brother, about some creepy voyeur as opposed to the TV show or novel, presumabley. Moving into another power ballad, Hear me Out, this one takes a while to grow on you but once it does it's not a skipable track. None of them are so far. Then comes Graffiti my soul. Pure genius in pop form, fantastic production, darker, seedier lyrics - this track summarises why they just had to keep working with Xenomania. The alum progresses into the again, catchy, Real Life and the fantastic version of Here we go both of which are singalong classics. Moving into the final fast track of the album, Kimberley aided, Thank me Daddy is another Big Brother sort of track - it's about sleeping around and your dad not knowing one assumes, and it's a great song to end the fast set on as we then move into two similar yet wholly good in their own right ballads. Nadine has one, and Nicoa has one and it's as if pointing to them further as the two female vocalists of the band over the others. Overall it's a fantastic pop record, and it will take a few listens to get into some of the tracks but to understand the progression of Girls Aloud, and purely to own some of their best ever singles, it's worth getting hold of.Read full review
I personally love this cd and it is my favourite Girls Aloud album. There are a few low tempo ballards but the majority of the songs are very up beat and dancey making it perfect music to blast out when getting ready for a girlie night. It has the singles Love Machine, Jump, the Show and I'll stand by you on it so there will be at least 4 that you can sing along too! Out of the 14 songs I would say 11 are great and the other 3 are not too bad.
A previous Girls Aloud Album but well worth revisiting. I love the quality of this cd and the tracks are easy to sing along to. It's surprising how many songs you actually already know before you listen to it. I would definitely recommend this cd to any Girls Aloud fans. They will not be disappointed.
Probably one of my most embarrassing ebay purchases so far! I mainly bought it for the songs 'Love Machine' and 'Jump', although their are a couple more good tracks on, alot of it is just immature pop music, with the occassional dreary ballad. So if you are expecting the same sort of music as they release, you are going to be disappointed. Overall some good good tracks, with the same amount of boring, dreary songs.
