Amazon.co.uk Review
S Club Juniors are a marketing manager's dream. Taking the successful S Club brand and making an even more child-friendly franchise by using children instead of pearly teethed 20-somethings, they have created a full length album, Together. Featuring the hit single "One Step Closer", which heralded their arrival, they are a bite-sized version of their older partners with the only difference (apart from age) being the two extra members. In addition to the aforementioned hit, there are all the subsequent ones too, plus a cover of the ancient teen classic "Puppy Love" to insure maximum cuteness, guaranteed to tug the heart/purse strings of many a parent. The Juniors may look like the cool kids from the school disco but if it's the music that matters they have all the songs, backing and smiley attitude of S Club seniors, making them ideal replacements should the original sextet ever part company. --Georgina Collins

Customer Reviews

Proof there is no God.
I feel cheapened and dirty because I've given this a star, but I had to, it's the lowest I could go - only 'Spectrum' went lower when they thrust this God-awful pap into the music charts.

Hearing the cheesiest song ever (Puppy Love) sang by the cheesiest band of the recent decade is a truly memorable experience. It's not easy to remain sane when your brain is crying out to be shot in order to end the misery. Pass me an orange jump-suit, I'd rather be in Guantanamo Bay.

Thankfully there is no DVD bundled with this album, the videos to the songs are so embarrassing - watching kids miming along whilst posing to look all crestfallen (Puppy Love, again) makes you feel uncomfortable.

You can almost imagine the director saying to one of the kids; "Can you try to look a bit more depressed? You're meant to be upset because adults don't take your young love seriously - tell you what, imagine your parents have just been mutilated in a plane crash and slowly burned until their agony was finally relieved by a flock of birds who pecked them to death, that's it! A few less tears maybe - Brilliant!"

I'm sure that I'll be berated for not letting people just have fun and listen to this - but I'm not stopping you, go ahead, buy it! My qualm is with the marketing machine behind this who would rather take away the childhood of seven kids in order to exploit them, and turning out something which is counter-creative. Maybe what I've said might seem offensive, but it's no where near as offended as I feel when this is sold as a quality contribution to the world.

Maybe everyone should listen to this, maybe the world would be a better place if everyone accepted the lowest forms of 'art' and never questioned anything. Surely there'd be no wars if we were all gibbering, dumbed down, fame hungry imbeciles who didn't care about anything that didn't involve a celebrity or a slick marketing campaign.

I take it all back, this could be the saviour of humanity - this album is great!

WARNING TO PARENTS PLEASE READ
Ok now, without an understanding the of the nature of the forever deteriorating standards in the POP world one could see this as a terrible album. An album which is artistically void and that even tops the like of `busted' for fromage flavoured pap hiding behind the idea of giving young hopefuls a gateway into the music industry and thus giving the fans something to perpetuate there flacid ambitions further in the same direction. Alternatively seen as a desposible item with intentionally very little effort behind it, whose producers could not care less about its success let alone the participants whose lives will now be forever tainted by a far to early granted taste of fame. Seen in this light it is an impressive and greatly underated item. Given that the producers behind this venture cared for nothing other than profit and market research material into how low the music buyers will go this can not fairly be criticised from an artistic point of view. Ultimately it comes down to an interesting similarity between this and a widely unknown fact that I was enlightened to by a close friend: cigarette companies did research and discovered that by putting warnings on packets actually increased the smokers desire to smoke within a certain timescale. The simalarity can be drawn as it seems to me that the lower the standards of pop get, the more disposable pop music becomes, the more it will be sought after. Unlike the cigarette revelation which I mentioned, which from a certain perspective has an almost direct link to the long established social idiom of "live today because tomorow you could die"-which has a certain flare about it- the purpose behind corporate driven pop music relies on kids becoming culturally dyslexsic in order to survive. If kids got smart the music industry would have to work 10 times harder and search 10 times longer to find actuall talent which satisfied the kids tastes. Unlike with cigarettes, where the purchaser at least legally must be of an itelligent age. I write this review not for the intelligent music buyer, who would probably never look at this album unless by accident, but instead i write it for the parents of a child who might want to buy this album but is probably not old enough to have an amazon account, and therefore needs the parents approval to purchase anything from the internet. Please parents although your child may really want this album, please resist. Parents have a resposiblity to protect their children, in the same way that you would not want your child listening to gangsta rap music iI implore you toprotect your child from being sucked into the pop trap. For effort to profit ratio this album gets five stars.

oh dear...
attrocious. Absolutely awful. It's cheesy. It's taking the mick out of sclubs name. They've let them down alot, this album is total cheese and not in a good way. It's cringeworthy, embarrassing and i cant believe i'm actually admitting having bought this.

In my opinion i dont think this is worth the money, in fact i know it isnt. Buy yourself one of sclub7s albums it'll be well worth your money.

This cd isnt really worth the 1 star i had to give it.
