Are there any reviews of it yet?

Apparently it's One Touch part 2 and not really very popy.

I've not come across any reviews, but if its in a similar style to 'One Touch'- that must be something positive. 'One Touch' was very underrated IMO

Pop Justice is the only site with any sort of review which is odd.

And even they say you should think of 'One Touch' Which I suppose is good but it takes them right away from everything they have been for the past 6 years which might alienate their fan base a little. Esp if Girls Aloud are kicking it with catchy pop while Babes try to be all serious again.

Hard to tell without any decent reviews.

Talking of cat fights, I really do think Keisha starts off a lot of trouble in that band.

Since dog faced left they have been stronger than ever. So that might tell you something.

I do think this album will be too serious and I'm worried I'm not gonna like it. One touch had some good songs. But it was very raw. The others have been really well produced always targeting the rnb/pop Market. I hope I like it. But I am worried I won't

hehe!

I'm quite surprised at how well amelle has been recieved! I loved her str8 away as did many sugababes fans. You would think considering some bad press she's had (altho not her fault) the fans would be anti amelle. But infact she seems a fave!!!

If it's similar to One Touch that can only be a good thing if you ask me.

The album is AMAZING! It'some of their best work ever and I've had it on repeat all night.

Real favourites so far are Side Chick and Can We Call a Truce, but I like them all.

A strange fish this one.....I don't know who they are trying to appeal to with this sort of "live orchestral" sound they have going on now. Doesn't mean it is bad though. You have to admire them for being bold and straying away from the usual pop-by-numbers that they could so easily churn out instead. Some songs do sound a little samey and don't work at all but when they get it right, it is pretty impressive.
"Nothing's As Good As You" is by far the best song on the album and they pretty much nailed what they were intending to do perfectly on that one as it sounds both old style but contemporary too at the same time.
"Every Heart Broken" has great verses, the song builds up nicely but is let down by the most bland chorus.
"Sunday Rain" is more a show off piece for the orchestra as it doesn't seem to go any where vocally.
"Side Chick" sounds the most typical Sugababes-like song on the album but it sounds out of place here funnily enough.
Other songs haven't made such an impression yet...

It really is their best ever album.

It's proper main stream. Regular pop fans won't like it but serious music lovers will.

They have just made themselves Britian's top girl group through this album.

I think you're right - It's not my cup of tea at all, shame really, I really enjoy the Sugababes music.

I really love it. But if your expecting an album full of pop this isn't for you.

I really admire them for having the guts to do this. I like Girls Aloud but they would have never been able to pull this sort of album off.

I've just heard a preview of track 2 - it sounds really good. I'm trying to resist listening to any more of the tracks...
