Customer Reviews

My favourite album of all time
I bought "Gold" a few days after its release in October 2001, just before the fab five went their separate ways, and I still haven't got tired of listening to it. In my opinion, every Steps single is a pop classic and if you didn't fancy buying their earlier albums but liked their singles, this album is for you. Every Steps single is included here, except their groovy disco-esque track "You'll be sorry". That doesn't really matter, however, as there are 20 superb songs that will distract you from that!

It was probably only fitting that "Tragedy" should kick off the album - it was the gang's first UK no. 1 alongside "Heartbeat" and has the most famous dance routine ever. Following this super-cheesy but brilliant track are two of my personal Steps faves, "One for sorrow" and "Stomp", and countless other pop corkers that'll have you leaping from your seat and boogying away before you know it (if "Tragedy" didn't manage to get you dancing already, that is!). All of the tracks on "Gold" have this quality, apart from the three beautiful ballads at the end of the album, "Words are not enough", "When I said goodbye" and "Heartbeat", a true favourite with Steps fans everywhere. Even the new tracks, "Baby don't dance" and "Only in my dreams", the latter especially, are surprisingly good, although "Baby don't dance" had to grow on me as it lacks a bit in the lyrics department.

If you are a die-hard pop lover, you NEED this album for your collection as all these tracks have wonderful singing and excellent, cheesy, happy, backing music that real pop fans like me crave. I guarantee that if you buy this album, it will not leave your CD player unless someone takes a sledgehammer to it and you dive in to rescue Steps' amazing Greatest Hits collection, endangering your own life in the process! I know I would do that for this CD.

UNE MERVEILLE !!!
Ce Best of est une merveille car il regroupe les meilleurs titres du groupe dont la carrière a débuté en 1996.STEP ONE, STEPTACULAR et BUZZ sont leurs 3 albums qui précèdent ce best of, les écouter est un bonheur tant ce groupe dégage de l'émotion , de l'amitié et de la gaieté.Ce groupe n'a pas été véritablement connu en France et pourtant leur talent est réel. Entre ballades magnifiques et rythmes entraînant géniaux, on ne peut qu'être séduit par les titres TRAGEDY, ONE FOR SORROW,
STOMP, LOVE'S GOT A HOLD ON MY HEART, IT'S THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL, LAST THING ON MY MIND ou encore avec les inédits CHAIN REACTION, BABY DON'T DANCE, ONLY IN MY DREAMS et WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH.
C'est sincèrement un groupe exceptionnel dont certains le comparent à Abba ( excusez du peu ! ). Ecoutez cet album et les précédents, vous serez séduits, et sachez que deux membres continuent l'aventure musicale en duo ( H & Claire,album : Another you another me )pour notre plus grand plaisir !!!!
NB 1 : La version de ce best of diffère de celle sortie en France : 20 titres contre 14 ! Ne sont donc pas oubliés les sublimes HERE AND NOW, HEARTBEAT, BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW, WHEN I SAID GOODBYE et AFTER THE LOVE HAS GONE !
Infiniment MERCI !!
NB 2 : Un ultime album est sorti, à la demande des fans regroupant des versions inédites et de face B : THE LAST DANCE.

best of steps
I decided to get this cd, because i had recently bought Clare Richards exercise dvd and i wanted all the music on the dvd on a cd. I loved Steps when I was younger, so it bought back memories.
