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.

No matter what you think of them, you cannot deny that Girls Aloud have put out an extraordinary series of first-rate pop-singles. the tunes and the musicianship have been well above average for this type of band. The albums have also been rather strong, surprisingly. Thus I warmly recommend this fantastic collection of pop singles.

I was intrigued and convinced to purchase one of the cd's of Girls Aloud after hearing, savoring,and enjoying "Call the Shots". I decided to get this collection, and I feel that this collection is a good selection of their tracks. Many of these songs are very high energy and hit the spot if you want to listen to something fun and exciting. Some of the good songs in this collection are "Love Machine", "Sound of the Underground", "Long Hot Summer", and "I Think Were Alone Now" (a good remake of the 80's version from Tiffany). The track that I enjoyed the most was "Something Kinda Ooooh". "Something Kinda Ooooh" is a very daring and catchy song about someone admitting that they really want the person that they are strongly attracted to. Overall, this is a great dance/pop compilation to own.

This is a great cd by Girls Aloud, the top female group in the UK for the last ten years.

So great. I loved it even more than I expected. a total ten out of ten. One of my favorite albums of all time.
