5.0 out of 5 stars British Boyband Shines America!, September 2, 2002

This review is from: A1 (Audio CD)

A1 had come a long way in the music business since 1999. Their debut CD "Here We Come" had four top ten hit in the UK and a huge success all over the world. The second cd "The A List", a more R&B music style that had earmed two number one songs all over the UK. Finally their latest cd "Make It Good", they went to another direction to a more pop rock music. They played more instruments in this cd. With the Hit single "Caught In The Middle", A1 continues to further their carrer with their unique talent and love for music. A1 is not just another boyband, they don't stick to the same formula like the other boybands. Each album they released sound diferrent. It is not easy to break in America with a pop music but A1 could break all the barriers because of their raw talent. With seven selected songs from their prevoius cds. It gives us a taste of what A1 has got to offer America. A1 could do it all, they could play instruments, dance, sing, and write. What more can you ask.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome album, July 16, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: A1 (Audio CD)

So maybe this album has only 7 songs. Call it a sampler! If you're just getting into a1 then this album will do good for you. If you decide that you like them then buy their imports like their first album "Here We Come" and their second one "The A List" and then buy "Make It Good"
This CD features a mix of songs from all three of those albums. So don't expect this album to be a big whoo-ha for all you music lovers.
These guys have solid harmonies, best I've ever heard. I love their music, been loving it for a long time even before they hit the U.S. It's good they did because these guys deserve the credit.

1. Caught in the Middle - a big difference from their last album if you listened to their pop-like song "Same Old Brand New You"

2. Make It Good - Displays more of their great harmony

3. When I'm Missing You - shows just how good Ben can sing, high or low

4. Everytime - one of the best songs on their first album, this song really expresses how they feel and once again their harmony!

5. If I Can't Have You - once again what can I say? Their harmony says it all, when they sing the song just sounds excellent!

6. One More Try - Another good song from their 2nd album. You can really hear Christian's awesome guitar skills, love that and love the harmony!

7. Same Old Brand New You - This song has that pop edge to it, I think it's the one song that sounds like the most pop out of this whole album. It's a wonderful song. Just as catchy as the other ones.

Well hopefully this can help any new a1 fans, buy this CD as a small sampler. a1 is makin it good here in the U.S. so buy this CD, ok?!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bad Marketing..............., August 25, 2002

The reason I only gave this release four stars is due to the fact that I have all of a1's U.K. cd's and quite a few cd singles and this offers nothing new. At the very least they could have included songs like Take on Me, Like a Rose, and Be the First to Believe. I mean really, these are songs that define who a1 are and how they have evolved. I really love this group and their music I just think the U.S is getting a raw deal with this "sampler" cd. In my opinion you should just check out Amazon.co.uk and get the good stuff.
