Customer Reviews

Back and Better than Ever!
Being a Steps fan from the beginning, I've been anticipating this album forever. I can't even begin to express how I felt after listening to this album for the first time. Now it's the only CD I ever listen to.

1.) Better the Devil You Know: A Kylie Minogue cover, which is on the US version of Step One. It's good, but there's only a number of times you can listen to it.

2.) Stomp: A disco beat, with cool computer generated sounds. Makes you want to get up and groove.

3.) Summer of Love: It's been compared to being VERY similar to Irene Carr's "What A Feeling" from the movie Flashdance. It's a great song, b/c it's upbeat and poppy sounding.

4.) It's the Way You Make Me Feel: It sounds like there's some computer technique used on the voices in the beginning. It's not at all Steps' style. A very beautiful song that can't be described.

5.) You'll Be Sorry: H's voice has never sounded better. To an extent, this can be compared to "Deeper Shade of Blue" from STEPTACULAR. Not very Steps-like.

6.) Learn to Love Again: H co-wrote this song and it's a beautiful song. However, it's not one of the stronger sounding ones. It's neither dance nor ballad. Somewhere in the middle.

7.) Never Get Over You: Lisa co-wrote this song and it's got an Ace of Base technique mixed in with computer beats. There's a really cool echo to Lisa's voice as she sings. Very upbeat and danceable.

8.) Hand on Your Heart: Claire co-wrote this song and I can't say I'm a huge fan of it. Too much of a ballad and it didn't seem to really get off to a great start. I like it, but it's one of those songs I would want to listen to if I'm in a really chill and mellow mood.

9.) Happy Go Lucky- The strongest Ace of Base sounding song on the album. It kind of reminds me of Ace of Base's "The Sign". The reggae beats to this mixed in with Faye's strong vocals make this song a plus.

10.) Buzz: This title track is one of the best ones on the album. It's got a really nice techno beat to it. Again, Ace of Base sounds. They're really working on getting this reggae beat into their new style. Lee has a rap solo that sounds really cool.

11.) Here And Now: This song makes me speechless. The chorus is the strongest part. It's the most amazing song I've heard in a LONG time. When I listen to this song, I can almost picture them in concert and all the fans are swaying and singing. It's beyond amazing. I can't describe it in words.

12.) Paradise Lost: The chorus- "Paradise Lost is a place without you/In the shadow of love there's no room with a view/ Walking alone on the sand/Wish you were hear again (here again)/Wishing You were here again" Listening to this song will make you get the goosebumps. It's a strong track from this song with yet again, the Ace of Base sound.

13.) Turn Around: Co-written by Lee, it's a good track. It's got a techno dance beat going on. It's very catchy.

14.) Wouldn't Hurt So Bad: This is one of those songs that really doesn't stand out much. It's nothing special, but a good song. A ballad.

15.) If You Believe: This was the first song that I heard off the album. It's possibly one of the best songs songs there is. It's cowritten by Faye (my favourite and idol) and she collaborates with none other than THE Cyndi Lauper, among others. It's a slow ballad, but it's such a beautiful song, and I find myself singing along every time I listen to it. Faye's vocals are really strong and they have some sort of effect on me. If you don't get goosebumps from any of the other songs, this is THE one that will. Non-Steps...only better.

Overall, what a fantastic album. I can't rave about it enough. It's beautifully done and I'll be listening to it for months to come.

A large snazzy dose of steptacular fun!
Steps are unstoppable! Not only do they bring fabulous music, tours and dance routines to our lives, but thet keep us well supplied with unbelievably incredible albums like 'Buzz'. The likes of 'Better the Devil you Know', 'Summer of Love'and 'Stomp' fill this fun-packed album with glitz and enjoyable Dancey tunes.'You'll be Sorry' and 'Here and Now', (Personal Favourites of mine) Are good upbeat tracks that have the power to stick to someones mind for a long time after they are first heard. Each member of Steps has put a track that they have written to the album. Claire's powerful voice brings life and depth to her track 'Hand on your Heart'. H's cultural taste comes through his writing in 'Learn to Love Again'. Lisa sang her song, 'Never get over You' on tour dressed as a bride turned hippy chick, whick I think really suits the style of this cool treat for Steps fans. Lee wrote and co-sings 'Turn around' with Faye. They do this track justice! Finally, Faye adds 'I f you Believe'. I can find no suitable words to describe the shear beauty of this track. She co-wrote thios track with her fiancee Jasper Im and Cyndi Lauper. Other tracks on this album include, 'Its the way you make me feel' and 'Happy go Lucky'. Both hold Steps' Magic within them. 'Paradise Lost' has a 'unique to Steps' ballad/dance style.All fifteen tracks of this album help to make it the stunning creation that it is. It has the power to transform even non-steps fans into die hard fans! A Steptacular Album all in all.
