Yes, Five is British pop group of (five) guys. But unlike the other so called "boybands" Five cowrote several songs on their debut album. And, although Five does not have a very talented lead singer (think Nick Carter and Chris Kirkpatrick mixed up), I love their rapping! Note: Don't get this for a child who is not yet in middle school, I wouldn't call it appropriate for that age level.

1. When The Lights Go Out - This is a really fun song, with no corny lines in it. The guy is telling his girl that he knows he has treated her bad, but he'll show her "what it's all about" when the lights go out.

2. That's What You Told Me - I love this song! This differentiates Five from most of the teen bands out right now, because they aren't afraid of doing a song that is basically, get out, don't wanna see you no more, etc. Yes, on the BSB's new album they have ONE song like that, and Nsync's '00 album has one too, but Five has 2 great tributes to nasty ex-girlfriends that the guys can relate too. Yes, I'm a girl, but I still enjoy the song.

3. It's the things You Do - Very cool! The album version has the rap on it, the single is all singing(I prefer the rap version). This is one of my favorite tracks, because of the lyrics and continous beat.

4. When I remember When - Could be a perfect summer love song. Unfortunately, their lead singer (I think Scott) sounds WAY too whiny. SOrry, dude. I like your voice alright, but they lyrics are WAY better.

5. Slam Dunk Da Funk - It's ok, but have NO IDEA why they released it. There are plenty of way better tracks on the album.

6. Satisfied - I like this song more than When I Remember when. Maybe 'cause it isn't as sad, and Five sounds more like real guys (meaning the lyrics aren't I'd die without you, never break your heart, I'd give everything I own, etc. Love the Boys, but I love Five too.)

7. It's All Over - Think That's What You Told Me, but just as good without being repetitive.

8. Partyline - Pretty fun song to have a party to.

9. Until the Time Is through - Has the same beat as When I remember WHen, same whiny voice, same sad lyrics. But it's a nice song. I still like When I remember WHen more, though.

10. Everybody Get Up - Very cool! A rock song glorifying Five in such a bad-boy, punk-rock style I don't know if I love it or hate it...;)

11. My Song - Love the beat, great party tune

12. Got The Feelin' - Nothingmuch, just a feel-happy kinda song (it isn't about love, though)

So, I wanted to give this 3 and 1/2 stars, but I can't figure out how to do that. But if your boyfriend hates pop/boy bands, and you want to surprise him, get him this. Don't mean to stereotype, since I love it too.

I am a HUGE 'N Sync fan, and I was skeptic to actually accept another boyband to like, but I love 5ive! They're just the perfect mix for me- pop and rap. They're not as musically talented as 'N Sync, and not quite as cute, and maybe have a little more edge to them, but still they're just about having fun and they're music is awesome! Plus, Ritchie is so adorable! I don't like "That's what you told me" but I love "It's the things you do", "when I remember when", and "got the feelin"

5ive is the best group. I always listen to their music to perk me up. Their music just has this excitment that most aritst dont have. The rap gets you up to dance, while the slow songs(sang by SCOTT and Richie) mellow you out and calm you down. This CD would be a great gift for anyone who likes music

5ive's debut album clearly blows away the falseness of the Backstreet Boys and the rather annoying sound of Nsync, by giving the fans straight out pop, with out that overly sugar sweet sound you'll find in the other boy bands. Five is not afraid to admit they "get wild" and has contact with girls, as they demonstrate on their songs. The songs on this album have a pop sound mixed in with rap, r&b, hip hop, and "funk". This album NEVER gets boring, can be played from start to finish without EVERY getting bored with a track! Don't hesistate at ALL, get this AlBUM!

I think Five are a really great group. They have a bad boy style but still some goodness with them. Songs like "When The Lights Go Out" "Partyline-555-Online" and "Got The Feelin'" display their bad boy side while songs like "I Remember When" and "Until The Time Is Through" show their romantic side. Other songs "Slam Dunk Da Funk" and "Everybody Get Up" tell people to get up and dance. It's a whole switching CD, and I think that's good to add a little variety to the types of songs they sing. So if you like variety and a good rhythm to dance to, this CD is worth buying.

I bought this CD almost a year ago, and now I bought the new one, "Invincible". They are both excellent, although we can notice that these five guys improved a lot in the second one. From the first CD, the songs that I like the most are "When the lights go out", "Everybody get up", "Until the time is through", "Human" and many others. J., Scott, Abs, Rich and Sean are different from those others male groups, such as BSB and N'Sync. It's not that I don't like them, of course I do, but 5ive sounds different, they have a different style, like bad boys... To sum up, I think that all of you should give them a chance and try to listen to the songs - you'll surely like them!

This is no doubt the best CD in the whole world by the best and finest boy band in the entire universe![Backstreet Boys don't look half as good as these five guys (especially Abs and Scott!)] Five has a bit more variety then all the other groups out there with their beautiful blend of pop and hip-hop. I can't wait for their second album to come out; I've already heard a couple tracks and they've still "Got the Feelin'". This album stays on repeat in my cd player for hours!

I love Five! I remember when they first came out and I immediately fell in love with their in your face music! I'm not one for the sappy love music myself, but they don't give you that too much. The songs that are love ballads are highly likable. I saw them perform on TV and the tape that I bought and they really bring their music to life. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they are sexy British guys! J and Abs are amazing with their rapping! From the album's opening "When The Lights Go Out" to the closing of "Got The Feelin'" truly keeps you rocking!

I loved this cd, maybe cuz I loved pop music. But, it's different than the normal pop (like my fave guys--Backstreet Boys). It's got a lot of fast songs, and they're just fun songs. I especially love "It's the Things You do." this is recommended for anybody that loves pop music, or just the uptempo pop music!

Oh yeah! 5ive's album is just I wanted! I have had it for a year and I love it! All the tracks are awesome! Also there's a extra track called Switch and it's number 55! If you haven't got the album I suggest you buy it!
