Comments:

Well this is gonna be a long, track by track review so here goes!

1. Reach
Great upbeat very catchy pop tune, first single from the new album, performed on the Boyfriends and Birthdays TV Special and the Opening Titles for LA7. Great dance moves too.
Track Rating: 10/10

2. Natural
Sultry track song mostly by Rachel. Includes sampling of a classical tune called Pavane by Fauré. Performed on LA7 Episode 3 (Hello Hollywood) and possibly THE sexiest song on the new album (well whadya expect with Rach singing it?)
Track Rating: 10/10

3. I'll Keep Waiting
I'll be honest - I'm not a major fan of Bradley - sure he's cool, but I like the girls more than the guys (sexist I know). However - this is a fab tune - another one of my favourites. It's a slower track than one of his other's on the album - and pretty romantic too, with the girls singing great backing vocals. A top track.
Track Rating: 10/10

4. Bring the House Down
This track was performed on "House Sitting" when the mansion got trashed. This is a faster tune, not one of my favourites though. There are better tracks to come.
Track Rating: 4/10

5. Best Friend
Another Bradley track, kind of leaning towards more of a rap style of music with the other guys providing backup vocals.
Track Rating: 6/10

6. All in Love is Fair
A primarily Jo track (ie sung mostly by Jo). A slower tune, with some pretty nice melodies in it. You can tell I'm great at reviewing music huh? :)
Track Rating: 7/10

7. Love Train
Now this is a great upbeat track - strange as it might seem I have to admit I love it when Paul sings, he's got a great voice, and he sings loads in this tune. Performed in Episode 2 (Clever Camp), this is a real poppy tune, designed to get everyone happy and dancing around and it works!
Track Rating: 8/10

8. Cross My Heart
I'm running out of ways to describe these songs - they're all so varied but I just can't describe how. Another Jo song, with Bradley doing main backing, which varies between slow and slightly faster in the choruses - and its a great tune.
Track Rating
: 8/10

9. The Colour of Blue
This track is much too happy. Sorry, but it's too bright and cheerful - I prefer sultry, sexy, slow tracks. This one's got much too much of a "smiley" sound to it... Next!
Track Rating: 5/10

10. I'll Be There
Taken from Episode 1 (Into the Unknown), when they were lost in the woods, this is another upbeat tune, but not too smiley, if you get what I mean... Tina sings the main vocals on this track - and does it very well too! This tracks in the Music section, so grab it before I take it down!
Track Rating: 8/10

11. Stand By You
Now this is yet another track I love - it's another upbeat song, with Hannah singing loads for a change. She really should sing more. This great track reminds you just how important friends are (or something like that). Performed on Episode 9 (Fall Out)
Track Rating: 10/10

12. Spiritual Love
From Episode 5 (The News), this is another Bradley rap track, with the rest providing backing vocals, and works better this time than Best Friend.
Track Rating: 7/10

 

GSC7 Rating: 9/10 - A great album, a must buy
