Advantages: Decent vocals Disadvantages: All too often buried in the mix
...vocals. It's certainly an interesting change of style and they are to be applauded for that, even if it doesn't quite work with the voices they have. It's an enjoyable way to end an album that wasn't entirely what I expected and the sudden end to the song came as one final surprise as well.
I wouldn't say that I disliked the album, but there is just so little on it that sticks out. Admittedly, it has it moments and not always in the way they would ... ...12 song album lasting for 43 minutes. I know from previous singles that I have enjoyed that the Sugababes can sing and that they can pull off some decent tunes. However, too often here it felt like they were moving away from their strengths and burying their impressive voices under the musical backing. It is worth noting that the songs from the album that they played live sounded a lot better than the album versions, as they had more power and passion ...

Advantages: Amelle, Heidi Disadvantages: No Siobhan Donaghy
I rushed to HMV after university to buy "Change" and was very excited, wishing I could listen to it on the bus on the way back! I flicked through the booklet to see if we had some pretty new pictures of the girls. My personal favourite was the picture of Amelle. I think that Keisha's picture was far too zoomed in, and I didn't like the yellow jumper thing around Heidi's waist. However, all three babes looked stunning as usual! I also liked the final ... ...one letter of Sugababes on each page. I was especially glad that SUGABABABES didn't make an appearance, as it looks stupid.
I put the CD in to my player the second I got home, and the now familiar sounds of About You Now echoed around my room. To be honest I prefer the single version, as I believe that the extra lines draw the first verse out too much. All in all though, I really like this song, and I think it deserves to be number one! [5/5]. As ...

Advantages: One of the best pop albums of the year Disadvantages: None spring to mind
...of previous tracks.
5. Change - Rumoured to be the second single from the album, change is a slow refreshing ballad, about love and loss, with perfect harmonies, and great lyrics, its another surefire hit.
6. Back When - In my opinion, the best song on the album by far, its got a fantastic rhythm, that you cant help tapping your feet and humming along too. A song that will stay with you long after you listen to it, it's a great love-lost song with ... ...7. Surprise - This is a slightly slower song, with a strong drum beat throughout. Not one of their best, but a good independant woman style song, saying that they are better off without their cheating men. one for the women i feel!
8. Back Down - This song has a feel of R'n'B and Soul too it. Its a good song, but sounds a little like a shopping list as the girls tell of the type of man they want throughout the song! The song however does stand out ...

Advantages: A pop album with a few singalong tracks. I'm sure many people would enjoy. Disadvantages: Has a 'rushed' feel to it, uninspired lyrics, songs sound messy and unproffesional
...the weaker songs are:
* Change - (A dreary-sounding song but I predict will be a hit single)
* My Love is Pink (Had the potential to be a decent song but it doesnt quite get there, there's just something missing.)
Please please please don't waste your money on this! If you want to purchase some catchy and decent pop, try the Spice Girls recent Greatest Hits release or new Girls Aloud album. ...

Quick review of Change - Sugababes
This latest album from SUGABABES is good, but there is no change from previous releases and they stick to their usual format. Some of the songs are slightly repetitive, like "About you now". I know all the words to that song, but that's only because the same lines are basically repeated over and over again. Many of the other songs though are great, and anyone who is a fan of SUGABABES will love this!
Songs on CD are:
About You Now
Never Gonna Dance Again
Denial
My Love Is Pink
Change
Back When
Surprise
Back Down
Mended By You
3 Spoons Of Suga
Open The Door
Undignified ...

Advantages: great songs new angle Disadvantages: n/a
Change is the first full album after the departure of original band member Mutya Buena in which Amelle joins Keisha and Heidi on vocals, adding an exciting new slant to the band. The slightly new angle that they have taken in this album seems to have worked wonders for them in what I would say is my favorite album of all the sugababes releases to date.
1. About You Now 2. Never Gonna Dance Again 3. Denial 4. My Love Is Pink 5. Change 6. Back When ... ...mixed bag from ballads like change to more upbeat songs About you now.
My favorites on the album are Change, Denial, Back When, but to my surprise this must be one of the very few albums that I can say I listen to the whole thing without having to skip chunks, which is my usual thing to do.
This has to one of the best albums of 2007, the girls come simmering back into our chart and still in 2008 I cannot stop playing it. Roll on the new album. ...

Quick review of Change - Sugababes
i have always been a big sugababes fan owning their other albums, and enjoying each of them. however i thought this album lacked something. and with the exeption of a few choice songs, and of course about you know, which i absoloutly love. this album didnt have many choices for singles. which must be the reason they didnt really bring many out. i think that they go through albums too fast and should concentrate more on producing more good tracks because this has put me off buying future albums again. ...

Advantages: Few catchy tracks, talented artists Disadvantages: not as unique style as previous albums
I am a huge fan of the Sugababes so as soon as this album was released I rushed out to buy it. Unfortunatley I haven\'t found it as good as some of their previous albums.
All the songs are quite samey. They all seem to be based around the same sort of theme.There isn\'t much difference in the style of the tracks.
They have also concentrated a bit too much on Amelle. She has a great voice but I don\'t think they have shared the album out between ... ...to hear a bit more of Keisha and Heidi as they are all very talented artists.
I think the product itself is nicely presented with the colours inkeeping with what is fashionable this season. It isn\'t as original as the girls previous albums. The album doesn\'t seem to have that unique style that they carried in previous albums.
It is a satisfactory come back. ...
