I love steps, they are not afraid to make good cheesey eurodance that everyone loves to hate, and i love it.

This is thier third album and quite possibly thier best yet. Whilst the second album came heavily loaded with ballads, this album follows the same route as the first, less drip and more kick. It starts off with the B-side 'Better the devil you know', lead on by the no.1 smash 'Stomp', followed by the best track (in my opinion) 'Summer of love' onto the latest single 'It's the way you make me feel'. After this it's mainly uptempo with the odd slowy thrown in for good measure. 'You'll be sorry' is another one of the albums best tracks which has exellent vocals on top of a high NRG beat. The other tracks to look out for are 'Learn to love again' and 'buzzz'.

What i like about this album is that each member of the band has writen atleast one of the songs for the album which goes to prove that as well as being able to sing and dance brilliantly, they can write songs pretty well also. The lads also have much bigger parts on this album as a couple of the tracks are sung by Lee and H, and feature little vocals by the girls. Cyndi lauper also co-writes on 'If you believe'.

I think this is also a more grown up sound for Steps and certainly the album sleeve and inlay photos show a more mature direction. This is a must for any steps fan (including the closet ones), and for anyone who has a bit of a thang for europop.
