Buzz - Autograph

Advantages: good all round music appeal
Disadvantages: weak links

...Steps. Claire, H, Lee, Faye and Lisa are a household name particularly with anyone who has children and even some that do not! Now with a string of successful albums and singles under their belts, I finally get round to writing my opinion on Buzz the last album released. What is it about Steps that makes them better than the rest of the pre manufactured music bands of today, well they are not only attractive but seem to have kept their values even with huge success, they are very much like the girl or boy next door types, genuinely nice people on and off camera, and this comes through in the Steps charm factor. Claire Richardson has the edge on vocal talents without a doubt, a huge powerful voice that can be very hard to miss; she is often more than not the main contributor to the songs for this reason. I feel that although... Read review

Advantages: Some good tracks, happy clappy music
Disadvantages: All a bit forced, all too similar

...Steps have been going for a few years now and seem to have been swamped or brushed aside by buy/girl bands who seem to get younger or have new gimmicks like being formed as part of A TV show.

Advantages: cool songs , funky
Disadvantages: none

...Buzz has got to be my favourite album of all the steps album! This cd was released in 2000 and I bought it for £12.99 from woolworths! Better the devil you know - It's better than kylie's version! More beats and more get up and go! Stomp - Makes you look forward to the weekend knowing you can chill out! It's a great party tune with cool lyrics! It's also one of steps' number ones! Summer of love - A great summer tune with a spanish theme! I love it! It's the way you make me feel - Each stepster sings a line or two each on this one! It's a kind of ball-room fastforwarded song! you'll be sorry - This is one of my favourite songs off this album! Same steps sound! It's fab! Learn to love again - Not to keen on this one! Performed and written by H! Never get over you - I love this on! Written and performed by Lisa! It... Read review
