S-Club 7 - S-Club

Even fans of manufactured, lightweight dance-pop may find their patience tried by the predictable, by-the-numbers hash of S Club 7's S Club. Driven by generic production that's one step up from karaoke tracks, the album plays like a cynical scam designed to make the likes of 'N Sync seem as deep as Neil Young. Despite their U.K. pedigree, S Club 7 spend their time mouthing lyrics that often seem to have been translated, badly, into English ("Shake your little feet," "When you're in the darkest corner, all you do is shine your light," not to mention completely clueless exhortations from this clean-cut lot to "ghetto boys" and "player haters" to get on down). If it's indeed to be, as they threaten, "an S Club millennium," prepare for a pretty dismal thousand years. --Rickey Wright Amazon.com

ok

i don't like them, but i like good music, and i have to admit that they have catchy songs that could be hits. the girls have pleasing voices. this album sounds like 60's pop. look past their corny, cheesy image (i'm sure they didn't envision their self in this kind of group either. if you're starving to be in the music biz and get a record, if a guy approaches you for for a group 99% would take it even if you see its cheesiness).

Great start for S Club 7

Okay this isn't one of my favorite albums of there's but it's a great start to kick off their career. When I listen to it, it reminds me all the good times when they were young.

Bring It All Back 10/10 Great song!! So dancy and fun to listen to. It was their intro in 'Miami 7'. I could never get tired of this one. All the girls have a lead on here which is nice.

You're My Number One 9/10 Very retro song when I listen to it. Sometimes Jo screams but I like the chorus. Very cute song.

Two In A Million 10/10 One of my favorites on the album. It sounds so mature and it's just a really lovely ballad. Jo does wonderful on here.

S Club Party 10/10 This is probably the national anthem of
S Club 7. I love it. Great dance song. I could never get tired of this song.

Everybody Wants Ya 7/10 It's an okay song. I never really clicked with this song.

Viva La Fiesta 10/10 I love this song. A great party song. I love it when S Club sung this song at the S Club carnival. Great song. I'll never get tired of this song.

Gonna Change The World 8/10 An okay song. The boys are leads on this song. I like the message in it and the harmony is great too.

I Really Miss You 10/10 I love this song. Rachel's voice is so beautiful. Just lovely!! I love the chorus. The harmoney is great.

Friday Night 9/10 I never really liked this song but it started to grow on me. An excellent party song.

It's A Feel Good Thing 8/10 This song is good. I like it when they say "it's a feel good thing, it's an s club thing". Jo is on leads. I actually heard this song at Cedar Point on the dragster.

Hope For The Future 7/10 This song it okay. The chorus is repeated a lot. Jo and Bradley are on leads. But all in all, it's a decent song. July 27, 2006

Deep No! Fake Yes. Listen to them. . .yes

Yes they are manufactured, yes, they are fake. No the lyrics aren't meaningful. I would rather listen to lyrics that are obviously fake than to listen to an artist that knows they are being fake but are hiding it with violent lyrics that they know nothing about. I am sick and tired of people dissing pop music. The whole point is to make people happy. If you don't like the stuff then don't buy the CD. It's that simple for you pretend to be punks. I have a very varied music taste I like everything from S-Club-7 to Ozzy. Sometimes it pays to listen to something that has no deep meaning whatsoever. I just don't see why people put so much emphasis on rap. I am sorry but I see nothing entertaining about hearing about someone shooting someone elses brains out. I do like rap it's just a matter of taste.

Pop music is suppose to be fake and melody ridden. It is suppose to cheer people up. It does most people and this cd will anyone who already loves pop. Like I said above. If you don't like pop music THEN DON'T BUY IT!!!!HELLO!!!

By the way. . .A critic is suppose to find at least one good thing about everything they listen to. Amazon did a lousy job because they probably had a anti-pop person reviewing this.

My Opinion April 7, 2006

I wish you could choose negative stars

This is a good example of completely manufactured pop music. Its almost seems like this group is trying to mock how horrible pop music really is through their incredibly bad music. Sadly there are people who will actually listen to this junk. I myself have not purchased this cd, I am not a fool. Only after hearing it somewhere did I wonder if everyone else hated it too. Did you little kids even read the amazon.com review at the top? It completely supports my negative evaluation of this cd. The site that should be trying to sell you this cd is bashing it, what does that tell you. Do yourself a favor and listen to a group with real talent (that means no pop music). June 16, 2005
