Change - Sugababes

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 ... Read review

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 ... Read review

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 ... Read review

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. ... Read review

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

I would recommend for the following...Duffy with mercy, One republic (both tracks), Kate Nash, I think it all depends on what sort of music your into, normally i can listen to a new cd for a long time, having it in my car and in home etc...but this one has just been put on the rack with the other old cds....

Advantages: Some good tunes, suitable for anyone any age
Disadvantages: Also some poor quality tunes, getting worse each time a new ones out

...was available from February 2008, I really like this tune but I always liked the advert theme tune as well. *15. Amy MacDonald - This Is The Life Another song I hadn't heard of un-till buying this album, really don't like this song it is just a lot of fast words creating noise. Amy MacDonald is a Scottish singer and songwriter. This song is from her debut album. *16. Kate Nash - Pumpkin Soup I personally hate this song but then again I would as I hate Kate Nash it is a very typical Kate Nash song, full of silly pauses in her words. This is the third single from her album 'Made of Bricks' I definitely skip this song each time it comes on I can not stand listening to it at all. *17. Sugababes - Change I feel this song is a disappointment from the Sugababes as they have produced a lot better before, a very slow song, another one I found hard... Read review
