Change

Having been a fan of the Babes way back when Siobhan was in the group. I've seen the girls grow with each new album that they've released from "Angles with Dirty Faces" to "Three" to "Taller In More Ways" and now with "Change".The title is very appropriate as you hear a change in their music this time around. You still have the pop, electro sounds that the girls have been rocking like on "About You Now" and "Never Gonna Dance Again". But they also have a few more ballads this time around. They work out pretty well and the girls writing some more on the cd. At least one of the members writing on 9 out of the 12 songs on the cd.Never Gonna Dance AgainDenialMy Love is PinkChangeBackdownMended By You3 Spoons of SugaOpen The DoorUndignifiedWhile you can hear the turn in direction of their music..it kind of has a more soulful, 70s flair to it. Even with the album cover you can see that they have more refined girl group look to them.But they still keep the sound and edge that makes the Sugababes so successful. Already a smash hit in the UK and other countries (Change is No. 1 there and the single "About You Now" as of the last charting week is number 1 for a 3rd consecutive week)Love the sound, look and feel of Change. I'm very eager to see what song gets released next on the cd hopefully "Never Gonna Dance Again" or "Undignified" (a lovely ballad).this review is for the import version of Change.

WOW! Just received the album Change from Sugababes. I thought I ordered the single and when I opened it was the album. It came they way it said. Now I am listening to the whole album and checking it out if there are any other songs I might end up liking.

I love this album sugababes at their best.

Love them all keep them all coming a have a happy and wonderful but safe new year.

I downloaded this album and i finally got the Physical copy, I'm quiet disappointed in this album, I loved About You now, Never Gonna Dance Again, My Love Is Pink, Denial, and Undignified. Its quiet different, from previous albums, which all i have loved i don't mind listening to the full album. its just With change i only listen to the ones i like and skip over the other songs i did not list. i hope the new album Catfights And Spotlights will make up for this album.

Loved it!

The Sugababes just keep getting better and better. This is their 5th studio album, a massive feat for a pop group. Despite the member changes, they've never lost their sparkle or their catchy tunes. I did think they fell down a bit with their Greatest Hits compilation, but have definitely redeemed themselves with this CD. "Taller In More Ways" is my favourite Sugababes album, but "Change" is ranked 2nd equal with "Three."I would usually list my favourite song on the album as the first song I mention, but I can't decide on a favourite since I have so many.But I guess I'll go with "Surprise" first - this is a definite favourite of mine. I actually didn't like it so much on the first couple of listens, but suddenly it just hit how amazing this track is. Clocking in at only 3 minutes 5 seconds, it packs a lot into a small amount of time. A song about an ex boyfriend calling you up out of the blue wanting to get back together, the Babes tell him to get lost. It's really catchy and 'oh oh oh' bits at the end of the choruses courtesy of the lovely Heidi are fun to sing along to.Another favourite is "Never Gonna Dance Again" - I really hope this is going to be a single. Described as a ballad, but not really, it's more midtempo. This song is incredibly sad, about a boyfriend breaking up with his girlfriend during a slow dance, and the girlfriend decides she can never dance again because it reminds her of her ex too much. All three girls put in a strong showing in this track and I love the lyrics."Mended By You" is yet another highlight, another gorgeous ballad from the girls. I find the Babes have two types of ballads - they're either amazing or boring. This is the former, absolutely amazing. Despite the sad feel, the song is actually positive, about a relationship that has changed somebody for the better. One of the girls' best slow songs to date, I love Amelle's verse and the chorus."Denial" is a quirky little song and another favourite. I actually don't know what this song is supposed to be about, but I like it. With interesting lyrics about nature and a cool backing beat, this is a song that you'll either love or hate. I am definitely a lover of it!"My Love Is Pink" reminds of me of a Girls Aloud song (my other favourite band), it's just like "Graffiti My Soul" or "Fling" from their new album. A song about nothing at all, this is funky with really cool lyrics and great vocals from all three girls. The chorus is loads of fun to sing along to."Back Down" is yet another standout track (see, there's so many!). I love this track because each Babe gets a long verse to sing and it shows off their distinct voices and personalities. The girls sing about their boyfriends in this track and what they love about men. It's extremely catchy and I adore Heidi's verse."About You Now" was the album's lead single and was another #1 hit for the girls in the UK. Rightly so, this is yet another favourite. I think this is possibly my favourite Babes single to date. It's sooooooooo catchy and I love the lyrics. The girls all sound amazing and the overall feel of this track is just infectious. A great comeback for the ladies."Open The Door" is rather like "Denial" - slower with an interesting backbeat and lyrics. It's chilled out with cool lyrics. I didn't like this at first but over time I grew to like it. I love the chorus.The remaining tracks are good, but not outstanding. We have "Change" - the 2nd single from the album and Christmas release. I wanted "Never Gonna Dance Again" to be the 2nd single over this. But it's a nice little track, but doesn't seem to go anywhere for me. "Back When" is in the same vein, a cute track that sees the girls reminiscing about the past, but when it reaches the chorus it goes nowhere (except when they sing 'back when' - it sounds cool!). I like Heidi's parts though. "Undignified" is the same, it's the album's closer but is kind of bland - I wanted a "2 Hearts" (from Taller In More Ways) kind of ending, big and orchestral. The UK bonus track "3 Spoons Of Suga" is similar to another Babes track, "Angels With Dirty Faces" from the album of the same name - self referential and in the same style. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as good. This song is your usual party track.My favourites are:SurpriseNever Gonna Dance AgainMended By YouAbout You NowBack Down(with Denial, My Love Is Pink & Open The Door close runners up)Overall, another strong showing for the girls and it shows that Amelle fits in nicely with the group on her first full length outing with the band. They do keep getting better, I like every song on this album, some more then others but I wouldn't skip any tracks if I listened to the album in full. Keep it up girls, you're going strong!

"Change" is a familiar concept to the Sugababes, of course, aka the 'Trigger's Broom Of Pop'. "When does the ever-changing Sugababe line-up cease to be truly Sugababe?" is a question frequently posed by philosophers in our nation's great seats of learning. The answer is; "When they cease to deliver great pop, that's when!" i.e. their dismal Sweet 7 album. Though if anyone can do me a copy of the original version of that with Keisha's vocals I'd be interested to hear it.

First time I bought it it had the wrong cd in (a different album from the same band)

Weird

Yes they change the lineup more times than i've had hot dinners but i like them. Good album..

My favoruite album from Sugababes. Nice pop tunes and I can only wish that they will record sth. like this in the future.
