Customer Reviews
The title says it all!!!
A-Teens have done it again! After getting the world's attention with their debut "The Abba Generation" (still one of the best Abba tribute albums out there in my opinion) and then achieving worldwide success on their own with "Teen Spirit", the 3rd album from the Scandanavian quartet elevates them even higher in the world of pop music.
POP TILL YOU DROP is probably a bit more mature than their two previous albums, showing how far these guys have come in such a short time. But luckily, "mature" in the A-Teens sense doesn't mean "BORING" - it means lively, infectious melodies sung with great professionalism!
1) Floorfiller >9/10< - a fantastic up-beat start, this showcases the A-Teens desire to party, party, party - this track would be fantastic live!!!
2) Can't Help Falling In Love >8/10< - the first single from the album and a very nice, original slant on the Elvis classic - again, shows off the group's fun side perfectly!
3) Let Your Heart Do All The Talking >9/10< - fantastic change of direction, this tune has a great reggae feel to it, and an amazing bouncy melody to sing-a-long with!
4) Closer To Perfection >10/10< - undoubtedly, THE BEST A-TEENS SONG EVER!!!!! This track has a great 80s feel to it, with a thumping beat and cool brassy synths, and a melody to die for! This album just goes from strength to strength...
5) Hi And Goodbye >8/10< - a very nicely timed change of pace now, this ballad has great lyrics which almost everyone will be able to relate to.
6) This Year >8/10< - a very short and sweet pop tune, with a cute melody and vocals to match.
7) Slam >9/10< - co-written by the group themselves, this track finds the A-Teens in party mode once again - from the Michael Jackson-style verse into the infectious chorus, this is another winner!
8) Cross My Heart >8/10< - this tune sound very like a Shakira track, complete with panpipes and a great Latin rhythm - a very original ballad.
9) Singled Out >6/10< - it had to come I guess, this track is the weakest of the lot, quite a regular ballad but nice all the same.
10) Oh Oh Yeah >8/10< - you can just tell from the title that this track is funky - very quirky guitar-driven pop tune, with a great chorus!
11) In The Blink Of An Eye >8/10< - a very nice ballad that would make the ideal finale for one of their live shows, if you liked "Just Around The Corner Of Your Eye" from their "Teen Spirit" album, you'll love this!!
12) School's Out (feat. Alice Cooper) >8/10< - just when you thought it was all over, BANG!! This classic tune is brought bang up to date, and although it sounds slightly more tranquil than the original, it makes sure that you won't forget this track in a hurry!!
So, there you have it, something for everyone - traditional and modern ballads, 80s tunes, latin influences, reggae, pure power pop - this album looks like becoming one of the most comprehensive pop albums of recent years that simply gets better with every listen!!! A massive 9.5/10!!!
THE BEST YOU CAN GET FROM THE A*TEENS!!!!
When I bought "The Abba Generation" I really liked it. But I was sure they would keep on covering Abba's songs, which although were great covers, seemed boring to keep on listening to over & over again. Then came "Teen Spirit", and boy, was I surprised! Since "TS" they bacame my favorite band, but I was sure that they could not repeat the spirit of "Teen Spirit"... Was I wrong or what!!!! I bought "Pop 'Till You Drop" when I visited the USA (too bad they couldn't release it in Israel) and I was so surprised!! It was even better and catchier then "Teen Spirit". For some reason, the songs are so catchy I think I know them already!
Well, this is my Song-By-Song review!:
Floorfiller- 10/10 Excellent, catchy start! Great goin' guys!
Can't Help Falling In Love- 8/10 Cute cover of an Elvis tune. Really nice.
Let Your Heart...- 9/10 Great tune with a reggae vibe to it. How could the boys lower their voices so much???!!!
Closer to Perfection- 10/10 Very very good song! It has a strong sound to it.
Hi & Goodbye- 10/10 Great ballad about 2 lovers who started acting like strangers for no reason.
This Year- 9/10 A lot of people say they hate this song but I think it's really cute!!
Slam- 4/10 Absolutely-Totally-Completely THE WORST SONG ON THE ALBUM!! It could have been very good but it is totally embarrassing!!
Cross My Heart- 9/10 Great song with a jungle feel to it. It sounded so familiar when I heard on the 1st time!
Singled Out 7.5/10 Good ballad with great vocals from everyone. At first I skipped it but it really grew on me.
Oh, Oh... Yeah 10/10 My No. 1 fave on this album!! It's such a catchy song with great lyrics. It has "Teen Spirit" but yet it has a mature sound.
In the Blink.... 10/10 This is an amazing ballad but it sounds SSSSOOO FAMILIAR!!!!
School's Out 10/10 At first I actually didn't like this one, but it really grew on me and it became one of my faves on this album!
We've got a winner, ladies and gentlemen! This is the best pop album I own! Buy it and get addicted!!!
