Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Four years on and already time for a greatest hits disc? If Britney Spears could pull it off after only 40 months, then Girls Aloud's thirteen top 10 singles certainly qualify them for such an offering. Yes, the hype every music magazine in Britain has been making is true- the tracks this group puts out are insane. Name one other pop act who had the audacity to mesh three songs into one and proclaim "you can't mistake my biology" as if we were stupid all along to disagree? Or, for that matter, name their comeback single "Something Kinda Oooh"? The risks taken by Girls Aloud and their production-team extraordinaire, Xenomania, are ones not common among the lazy bits of top 40. To see such livelihood and originality from a band created by reality television is an irony if we ever heard one. Simply put, they're the finest mainstream singles act of this decade and the soldiers of futuristic pop. Ballads withstanding, every one of these hits sparkles with a ferocity and sauciness that are impossible to not fall in love with. Anyone who doesn't snap their fingers to the billyrockin' "Love Machine" or strike a pose to the positively sexy electro romp "The Show" is more likely dead, and to not gawk at the genius of "Biology" is a perfect insult. Even the much-maligned "Long Hot Summer" is destined for the pop hall of fame. The music press has proclaimed for the past three to four years now that pop is dead, but with Girls Aloud leading the pack, not only would it be alive and kicking, it would be better than it ever was. And we can overlook the limp cover of "I Think We're Alone Now" (particularly unnecessary) if it meant skipping over to something like "Sound Of the Undeground". Ready for a crazy night out, stilletos and all? You've just got the perfect soundtrack.
