5.0 out of 5 stars A1 Best of British Pop Music, June 11, 2002

By	Jon Harrison (Derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews

A1 are quite simply the best british pop act to come out of the UK for a long time. What differetiates them from other boybands is that they write 90% of their own songs, play their own instuments and don't mime on stage! And if you think playing intruments means dodgy guitar twanging, think again. 'The A List' contains an inresistable blend of infectious pop and ballards, with two UK number ones (Take One Me and Same Old Brand New You). A1 are currently in America touring, so look out for them near you. This album is certainly for you if you like pop music, and even if you don't, the sound is edgy and and almost R&B like in some songs (I Wonder Why, Nothing But Trouble) to appeal to a wider range of audiences, and differentiates the band from the usual cheesy pop of Backstreet Boys and NSync. Even the ballards are stunning, with the excelent voices of the band easily carrying off an area of pop which can easily fall into the cheesy category.This album is a must-buy, and look out for their new album 'Make it Good' in the US shops soon!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great CD!, March 11, 2002

By	"alabamahunny" (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

I got this CD for my birthday last year. I first heard of A1 on The Hit List, Brit List, which I must comment, the show has gone way downhill since they got the new hosts. I still listen to this CD, which is a rare thing for me to do.

1.Take On Me-A pretty good remix, with good vocals. I give it 7/20

2.Same Old Brand New You-My absolute favourite song on the CD. It's catchy, and has good vocals. I give it 10/10

3.No More-One of he first songs I ever heard of by them, and I personally thought it was awesome. I give it 9/10

4.One More Try-It's a really good song, and has awesome lyrics. I give it 10/10

5.The Things We Never Did-My Second Favourite! I loved this song, and it really touched me. I give it 10/10

6.Too Bad Baby-Another of my favourites! It's a really good song about a guy who has a girl who treats him like [dirt]. His friends who at one point we told him to go for it, go get her, end up telling him to forget her. It started from the day I met her
Walked over me I let her.
Friends who told me go and get her
They're telling me forget her.
Too bad baby, Think I'm going crazy.
Someone take me
Nothings gonna save me.
are the lyrics of my favourtie part. I give this song 10/10

7.Nothing But Trouble-I didn't like thins one as much as i did others, but its not bad. I give it 6/10

8.Tomorrow-A wonderful ballad, with great lyrics. I give it 9/10

9.She Doesn't See Me-This was one of my least favourite songs. It's an okay ballad, but I didn't like it. I give it 3/10

10.Scared-Iacidentally downloaded this one day, but I really liked the song. I give it 8/10

11.Celbrate Our Love-The song is really fun to dance to, and has a fun rythm. I give 8/10

12.Living The Dream-This is a wonderful ballad, and I loved it. I give it 9/10

13.I Wonder Why-You would think this would be a ballad, but its actually a funky dance song. It's one of my favourites, and I give it 9/10

14.I'll Take The Tears-A sweet ballad, and it has good lyrics. I give it 9/10

15.One In Love-This is a good ballad with awesome lyrics. I give it 8/10

A1 is an awesome group, and I love their music. I look forward to their next CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just Another Boyband, July 22, 2001

By	Alice Chiu (Boston, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

I personally dislike all pop and boybands, but when I first heard the song "No More" by A1, I loved it! I had to get the Cd!The entire album is full of energy and even has some slow songs that are really sweet. Basically, A1 is on top of the A List.They are just off the hook. Its a group of 4 guys with great Talent. I just hope that they will tour in the U.S Soon!
