Disco de All Saints: “All Saints [Bonus Track]”

I have always thought of the All Saints as the RnB version of the Spice Girls - they wore trainers instead of platforms and wore tracksuits and hoodies instead of midriff tops and mini skirts. But they were just as good (coming from a Spice Girls fan), with a fantastic debut album. My rundown:

1. Never Ever

Favourite songs in order:

1. Under The Bridge

Overall, a high quality debut that goes down in history as being the alternative to the Spicies for RnB fans. Very good.

A girl group that can sing and write. All saints are a brilliant pop (with a little bit of a rock sound in places) act. This has some very good music like Lady Marmalade, Bootie Call and War of Nerves. They done a brilliant job with this album and it sounds good and well written. One of the best pop albums of the 90's

I bought this CD a 5 years ago because I loved "Never Ever". I listened to it off and on, but this year I put it back in my CD player and was surprised to see how well it has held up over the years. "Never Ever" still sounds good, but the other songs sound better than I remember them. Their covers of "Under the Bridge" and "Lady Marmalade" are surprisingly good, and most of the other songs are strong as well.

The Spice Girls comparisons are inevitable, but All Saints stand alone, even though they were never as huge as the Spice Girls in the US.

I recommend checking this album out. It is a good blend of pop and R&B, and it should have been a bigger hit in the US.

It's true to say that I am not a die-hard All Saints fan, yet there's some stuff here which is pretty catchy. My personal favorite in here (originally the sole reason why I got this CD) was so I could listen to "Lady Marmalade"...each one has their own opinions..likes and dislikes, yet I don't think it's fair to hammer them down to the ground in any instant. The All Saints have undeniably got talent. They are not just pretty girls. They do come up with good stuff and they are well orchestrated, and have a musical notion, unlike many bands out there. Let's hope to God they don't turn out to be a second coming of the Spice Girls and finish up like their predecessors did. All Saints is a commercial band, of that there is no doubt. Let's just hope that their success doesn't go up to their heads and boost their egos. When that happens, the music is usually over and what's left are mere contractual obligations.

They're great (like their album is). I'm a pop singer and I realy know something about it. They've got great voices and they're using it very well. If you wanna have some fun, buy it. The CD is great!
