4.0 out of 5 stars A1's first big song in New Zealand!, September 15, 2002

By	Weather Warden <3 (Auckland, NZ) - See all my reviews

A1 have visited New Zealand. Ever since they have this song has blown up here. You see and hear it everywhere. On the radio, on tv and people are always talking about it. It currently resides at #19 on NZ charts.
Anywayz, onto my review. This song is my favourite out of all A1's releases (Even though I also like "Take On Me" too), because it's sooo damn catchy! I like the guitar beginning and their vocals. Ben sounds the best and Mark sounds good too. The video is kind of funny, kind of sad. They have great voices and it's a shame it's only now they hit it big. This is a catchy song that will be liked by all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two additonal good songs, not just the one. :), June 28, 2002

By	J. Koury (St Petersburg, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

'Caught in the Middle' is the first single from a1's international release Make It Good and also the first song promoted from the US release a1. No domestic single is planned.
a1 members write on all tracks, and produce on 2 and 3.

Tracks
1. Caught in the middle 3:28
Catchy pop song with a more organic feel than the usual boyband fare. Guitar abounds. Most uptempo cut on single. Upon release, this song garnered the most airplay of any song a1 had released as a single. It's hard to say how it will do in the US, but there isn't much like it out at the moment, so that particular roadblock doesn't exist.

2. You're not in love 4:24
Begins with piano and guitar, then accompanied by drums. A bit softer than the following song. Understated verses going into fullbodied refrains. Non album track.

3. Power of desire 3:15
Piano crescendos into guitar-laden hook. Power ballad-ish. Snazzy piano and guitar interlude towards the end. Seems a bit short, but how much begging is really appropriate anyway? Non album track.

Also includes video of the band being torn apart by conflicting emotions in the snowy wilderness, pictures, and on location clips.

I enjoy this single. The quality of the non album tracks is quite good and I appreciate enhancements like videos.

Since there will be no US single, and the amount of time music channels spend on things other than videos has not decreased nearly enough, this is a good purchase to make. :)
