Thoughts

I’d forgotten how many of these songs I knew, and particularly it’s a really good start to an album, I think the first five tracks are all bangers. The whole thing is good though, very strong pop, if slightly over-produced in that early Popstars/X-Factor style that does sound a bit dated by now. It also feels like they hadn’t quite found their gel yet, the chemistry that is clear in later releases isn’t quite there yet. A clear example of the talent within the band, though.

Rating: 4 / 5
