5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best albums of the nineties, February 16, 2001

By	V. Jonathan Facile "[e-mail]" (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Ok, first of all I don't know what your all talking about. The Program is one of the best albums I've ever heard.. with soaring melodies, driving guitars, excellent lyrics... songs like The Smile, Comeback, Miyoko Hideaway, Sparkle, Powder Room Plan just so do it for me. Its britpop with a touch of glam thrown in. Very Dramatic.. very emotional. I personally prefer it to This World and Body.

3.0 out of 5 stars good, but not as expected, June 22, 2000

By	Juan Pablo Ramirez Gurria - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you think that Program sounds like This World and Body, you're wrong. Program lacks of the creativity and power of Marion's first album: guitars are less distorted and the production seems to be less elaborated. It's obvious that Marion were short of ideas during the writing/recording of this album. Still, there are some good songs (Strangers, Smile, Comeback, Sparkle). If you're a Marion fan, you must definetely have to buy it; but if you only like brit pop and This World and Body didn't turn your world upside down, you can save that money and buy something else.

i give "world&body" 3 stars because of the "time". actually this second album is better overall,"come back" & "what are we waiting for" & "miyako hideaway"are pretty compassionate & i like the vocal of Jamie Harding v.much.
