It is about time that no more of this type of boyband rubbish is allowed to pollute the nation's airwaves. How much longer can we take this bland and boring music that is beginning to dominate the musical charts and strangle the hopes of inventive and original bands? However,A1 have left behind pathetic cover versions that got them to the top of the charts and turned to a record that has not previously been released. But don't get too excited! They have imitated the sound of The Backstreet Boys and created a song that contains the usual boy band cheesy lyrics and keyboard undertone. No More is a catchy, upbeat pop song but is nothing original and just makes me wonder about the state of the music industry these days. I suspect though, that this single will do well because it is perfect for teenyboppers who are happy with listening to completely unoriginal and uninspiring music. I don't recommend this single, it's a waste of time!

Advantages: They make good music worth listening to. Disadvantages: Their boy band image will not appeal to a lot of people and their music can be very 'soppy'.

Review of A1 - A1
Advantages: You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk is a greatly song - simultaneously funny and depressing. The B-SIdes and live tracks are good,.. Disadvantages: ...it's a shame all the mixes couldn't have been up to the standard of those by Brother Brown.
