5.0 out of 5 stars Blue Is Best, January 3, 2002

By

This review is from: All Rise (Audio CD)

When I first listened to this album, I had no idea I was about to be blown away by *so many* infectious tunes. If you're checking this album out, you've probably already heard the single that started it all, "All Rise." Here's a quick run-through of all the tracks:

1) All Rise - A song about getting back at a nasty ex-gf. Although this was their first single, the others are much better.
2) Too Close - Groovy cover of Next's sexy hit a few years back.
3) This Temptation - IMO, this is even better than All Rise. Extremely infectious, this makes me want to dance!
4) If You Come Back - The first ballad of the album - a really excellent mid-tempo song that *isn't* at all weighed down by sappiness.
5) Fly By - Another seriously catchy track.
6) Bounce - One of the better numbers on the album, very danceable.
7) Long Time - A slow song -- and my least favourite.
8) Make It Happen - On the slow side, the boys sound really great (not to mention persuasive ;)) here.
9) Back To You - Rock-influenced, giving it a harder funkier edge.
10) Girl I'll Never Understand - Another lovely mid-tempo number.
11) Back Some Day - This is a soulful ballad that sounds eerily like something 98º would sing. All the same, I love it.
12) Best In Me - What a great way to end an album. Once again, this reminds me of 98º. Brilliant track that displays how well the boys voices blend.

Antony, Duncan, Lee, Simon definitely stand out from the crowd -they aren't another wannabe boyband. Lee, barely out of his teens, has an amazing voice (I bet he could sing on Broadway if he wanted to). Cheers to the boys and the production team for giving us good music!

4.0 out of 5 stars Boy Band with an Edge, April 18, 2002

This is a great cd! At first I was suspicious because there are already so many boy bands out there, all with the bandmember who has highlighted hair and a pretty voice, etc. However, there is something unique about this group. Their album is so catchy, I've been listening to it for days. It's not the most deepest or original album, but it's simply a lot of fun. "All Rise" is a great song to sing along to. "Too Close" is actually a remake of Minnesota band "Next"'s 1998 hit but Blue does a great job of adding their own influence to it. "This Temptation" has a great and addictive hook that would be fun to hear in a club. The lyrics are so over the top, that you have to love them. "You wanna get it on right now I see, I just wanna say that's cool with me". Nice. I love number 7, "Long Time". The simple guitar intro is the best part along with the rich sound made when all the members sing together. "Back Someday" as well, has a great opening, with pizzacato and 3/4 time that almost gives this song a waltz-y feeling. This is the song where the lead singer's voices are really shown off and deserve to be. Great album, can't wait for their next one!

Biggest new Band to emerge from UK hardly a year ago and Blue is the Best! Lee, Duncan, Simon & Anthony have proven themselves to be the pop phenomenon with their two No.1 Smash hits and four top ten singles. With release in May 201, All Rise entered UK Chart at No.4 and stayed in Top for five Weeks. All rise is my favourite video too. Too Close and If you come Back smashed to Top Charts at 1 and Too close is one great number that you can't miss to catch up listening even with a mobile tune.Its rathar an adult stuff too but sung too sweetly, I'd admit. The groovy 'Long Time' and 'Best in me' has the smooth vocals and the swinging 'all rise' scales on top with the beats n lyrics. In six month 'All Rise' got the double Platinum Status in Uk and no way, they sure too good singers, a slight different to Backstreet Boys and Nsync. This Temptation & Fly By, fly By..are two good numbers to swing and tip tap toe singing. The singers are breakthroughs with 'Perfect Pop singing' Irresistible R n B and Ballad singing. The waltz n guitar tunes are jes superb in Back Someday. Please don't go Make it happen is a beautiful song with tempting lyrics. Bounce too has good lyrics 'Everybody wants to get high like that...and Best of me is the last number with best lyrics among all, call it inspirational number that really gets 5 stars. Overall, 'Blue - All Rise' is A+ and all Stars to shine as I look forward for more albums n videos of Blue. They are the Best 'Perfect' Pop to scale top in my charts leading Backstreet boys, Nsync, No mercy down to the lane. I can't stop listening to Blue at least one song a day, Its Cool Pick.
