ONE STEP CLOSER: 9/10
I like this song. It's your average dancy-pop song and you'll find yourself singing along.
AUTOMATIC HIGH: 7/10
It's a summer time song. The girls have the lead vocals and the harmonies are excelent.
NEW DIRECTION: 8/10
This song has more of a techno sound and is well produced. The lead vocals are taken by Frankie who has a nice tone to her voice, and Stacey.
ONE FINE DAY: 8/10
It's a nice remake. It showcases, toward the end, the power of Stacey and Rochelle's voices. The rest of the band sings almost perfect harmonies.
PUPPY LOVE: 8/10
Calvin has the lead with a strong voice. They do the song justice, and as part of the younger generation I prefer the Junior's version over Osmond.
FEEL THE BEAT: 9/10
This is a club song. The girls take leads on this one as well.
WHEREVER YOU ARE: 7/10
This is a slower song on the album. The solo parts are lovely, but the chourus seems to be missing something.
I COME ALIVE: 9/10
This song is up beat and happy. The lead is passed around the group, but the chourus is held together by Stacey's powerful saprano voice (She was only 12 or 13 when this was recorded).
TOGETHER: 6/10
This is a slow ballad. The lead is shared by Frankie, Calvin, Stacey, and Jay. The voclas are a little weak on this track.
ONLY YOU: 8/10
This remake is headed by Frankie and Stacey. It is a splended remake. I found myself singing along the first time I heard the song.
ANYTIME, ANYWHERE: 9/10
Catchy song with solos by Frankie, Calvin, Jay, Stacey, and Rochelle. This song will have you bobbing your head.
YOU ARE THE ONE: 9/10
This is another slow ballad. Some of the lead vocals are a little weak. But the harmonies in the chourus and espacially toward the end are amazing. Stacey shows off her voice splendedly at the end of the song adding to it's overall affect.

Why do all people start to argue about the album. Do they expected a oh-amazing-voice like christina aguilera, madonna and all the "really" pro singer during their pre-teen? Well guess what? They are only below 15 when they make this. Childish or kiddies songs? Are you insane? Couldn't you see what age are they... do you want to hear a mature songs come out from those innocent child? hah. if you! you have to fix your brain first and atleast get a pair of glasses to see them.
I, personally, like them. They sing very well on their age. and they are trying to have fun with their songs.. cause in our life don't always comes bad things. As some pre-teen, they are trying to make their life much more better. Music industries always makes songs that reflected sad things, bullying, comparing and all that stuff. And i'm not confuse if the pre-teen stars sings about having good life and hoping for the best... come on.. let's see the brighter side..
Ummm.. okay, my favorite track are One step closer, anytime anywhere, where ever you are, together, feel the beat, you're the one, and i come alive.
Kiddish songs? well.. they are kids at the time.. so if ypu're expecting a mature kind of thing songs... don't buy this...
But if you want to hear about a friendship, puppylove songs.. BUY IT!

I know why you Americans, are giving this album bad reviews, so you can defend the american juniors who cant sing!!! And by the way it was american juniors that copied one step closer not SCJ!

It is a good album no matter what you say. Highlights are One Step Closer, New Direction, Automatic High & New Direction (Magic Fly thingy)

And what are the highlights on the american juniors album, none!!!!!!!! they just copy everyone songs like ABC (Jackson 5) One Step Closer (SCJ), so american juniors get your own songs, before you run out of songs to copy! so now americans, stop defending american juniors and give this good reviews OK!!!!

This is my review from S Club Junior's album "Together"

(01)One Step Closer-Debut single from the group which went to #2 in the singles chart.This song is a good starter on an album,and the newly formed group,American Juniors,also released this song as a single.

(02)Automatic High-This song is a bubble-gum pop song which makes it sound like an 70's summer song and is a awsome song.

(03)New Direction-This song is what brought the adults to like this band.this song is so upbeat and is a good club-dance song.

(04)One Fine Day-I really don't like this song because it's to short and it has a girly sound to it.

(05)Puppy Love-This is a remake of Donny Osmond's ancient teen classic and Calvin makes the girls drawn to him.

(06)Feel The Beat-Frankie sings this song which is a good thing because her voice makes this song go on and on every time I listen to it.

(07)Wherever You Are-This is my favorite song on the entire album and is a good dance song.

(08)I Come Alive-This is the least song I like on the entire album.My words of advice stay away from this song!

(09)Together-This song it a good song to just sing along to when you are down in the dumps.

(10)Only You-Stacey makes this song the best remake of this song ever because her voice is so strong when she sings it.

(11)Anytime Anywhere-This song is a good song to sing along to.This song is also sung by S Club 7.

(12)You Are The One-This song is the best ballad I have ever heard.Every band member gets a piece of this song to sing.This song is about the one person you love.

(13)New Direction(REMIX)-This the best remix I have ever heard!

I heard a lot of the songs from this album and they all ROCK!! The members are really great singers! The # 1 songs on the album are " One Step Closer"," Automatic High" ," Puppy Love","Anytime, Anywhere" and "One Fine Day". The Juniors sing well and deserve to be a popular band [better then Britney Spears and Christina ].I only have one thing to say: S CLUB JUNIORS HAVE THE #1 ALBUM! THEY ARE ALSO THE #1 british pop group[ besides S Club]!!!

One Step Closer - SCJ's first single. A good upbeat pop song with a great video, lyrics & dance routine 9/10

Automatic High- This is the best track on the album. A happy, fun song with great lyrics 10/10

New Direction- Not as good as the previous 2 tracks but still worth a listen 7/10

One Fine Day- This song is great but it would be even better if it was just a little longer 8/10

Puppy Love- Cover version. I dont think this was covered very well by the Juniors. A bit of a let down 4/10

Feel The Beat- An upbeat, dancey party song with good lyrics 7/10

Wherever You Are- Another favourite of mine. Wherever You Are is a great pop song 10/10

I Come Alive- Im not keen on this song, its a bit too childish, especially when they all shout at the start 2/10

Together- One of the best songs on the album, the girl who sings it has a great voice & the song has nice lyrics 10 /10

Only You- This song is just okay. Average. 5/10

Anytime Anywhere- A little better than only you, but still quite average 6/10

You Are The One- Great pop song & great lyrics. 7/10

This album is brilliant. The Juniors' voices are amazing and their songs have great variety. The Eastern-styled "New Direction" is great and disco-themed "Feel the Beat" is one of my favs! Add "Automatic High" and "I Come Alive" in the mix and you got a whole lotta fun!!!

Thus, their very first 'album' is released. It's absolutely amazing and astounding. I really love 'One Fine Day' and 'You Are The One'. Their voices are fab! Hope they will release their second album soon. if you're a real crazy fan of S Club Juniors, you wouldn't want to miss this one. Buy it now! No regrets!

Actually on my own I quite like the Juniors and I'm twenty-two. I think it's quite refreshing to hear (and see, if you've ever stumbled onto their Juniors-era videos) kids who are talented AND who sing songs meant for their age. That last one is quite important to me because I really appreciate the fact that there's still a certain innocence conveyed in their songs. Themes revolve around pre-teen crushes, friendship and togetherness.

The young and upbeat sound of the Juniors, I think, is a welcome alternative to what we have kids listening to these days. It's a shame that there hasn't been anything recently that's come close to making the same type of music the Juniors performed.

My personal favorites on this album are Automatic High (a sunny, summery upbeat song) , Anytime Anywhere (also upbeat and you have to see this with their video) and New Direction (it's got a smooth Eastern sound couple with some more Western beats). I guess the cover of Puppy Love seems a little lacking in original interpretation but it's not bad.

I really have to wonder about the several negative reviews, were they by the same person? They sure read like it. If you are a parent with kids, I would suggest buying this as Britney Spears is a bit much these days. Spears' first and second albums might be somewhat good choices but but your discretion would be advised.

Here, however are a dozen of fun songs aimed at children by other children. All I have to say is, where was music for children when I was a child? All I had was adults with exaggerated warbling and Seasme Street!

For all you teenagers and young adults who do not have kids, leave this alone. Don't listen to it and don't review it. That makes about as much sence as a child being made to listen to something like Slipknot and then being asked how they liked it. Chances are, they won't.
