Great album

Girls Aloud Third Studio album that was release 2005. This album is the greatest. Biology, See The Day, Long Hot Summer, and Whole Lotta History are such great songs, but the whole album is still good to hear no matter what. Its a buyer if you like pop music. You won't be dissappointed. August 22, 2008

The Christmas album is brilliant

Chemistry as an album is great on it's own. Add the 2nd Christmas bonus disc and the album becomes even better.

I've already reviewed the main album, but here is a quick bit about it: It's GA's 2nd best album now, full of quirky upbeat songs and a couple of great ballads. Best songs include "See The Day" (gorgeous ballad), "Watch Me Go" (an amazing upbeat track with a rap from Cheryl), "Swinging London Town" (a really dark, creative dance track) and "Racey Lacey" (a very risque little number about a promiscious girl).

But the focus of this review is the Christmas bonus disc. Half of it is well known covers and half are the girls' original songs. Both are equally good.
The best song on the bonus disc is "Count The Days." This is one of the original tracks and it's gorgeous. A song about wanting a lover to come home for Christmas, all the girls sing and Nadine leads the amazing chorus. I love this song.
The other original songs are all upbeat - "Christmas Round At Ours" is a funny little track about a family Christmas, "Not Tonight Santa" is a naughty song about wanting a boyfriend for Christmas and "I Wanna Kiss You So" is a fun song about kissing someone under the mistletoe.
My favourite of the covers is "White Christmas." It's been covered a million times, but GA's version is just beautiful. It's simple with amazing vocals from the girls and cute music.
The other covers are "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" - the girls all share the vocals and it's fun to sing along to, "Jingle Bell Rock" - this song is only a minute and a half long but stays true to the original, cute and catchy and "Merry Christmas Everybody" - sung by all the girls as a group, another catchy one.

Overall, all of the Christmas songs are great and this bonus disc is a great addition to the already brilliant Chemistry. 5 stars.

Fabulous! Period.

One of my all time favorite bands. These girls know how to rock. Maybe I am biased because I love all of their albums. They can do no wrong. I don't know of one song I dislike. If I was forced to make a choice of one group to have and listen to the rest of my life Girls Aloud would be it. Over and over and over ... January 28, 2008

Love it!

I loved this album, and when I got it, I couldn't stop listening! Since I put it on my iPod, it has reigned as the most played album. Good from beg to fin. August 12, 2007
