Customer Reviews

Surprisingly good.
I don 't know who this band are or anything about the TV show they came from but this is a great album. Sadly probably destined to be overlooked by most people, I only heard it by accident but now I am playing it all the time. As most reviewers have already said, the style is something along the lines of Sugababes or Girls Aloud. But it's the variety of the music that I found very appealing.

The opening single "I'm Not Shy" is pure Girls Aloud, with its "ooh-ooh" noises and semi-spoken rhyming couplets, and it works just fine. Things stay in a fairly predictable grrove for the next three or four songs, but the best is saved for those who get past the halfway stage of this album. "Money in My Pocket" is a very well written and assured track, sounding like something from a far maturer group, as is "If The Devil's Got Your Gold", which has echos of the old trip-hop stuff from the likes of Morcheeba or Sneaker Pimps (ok, a very pop version of those!). "Turn it Up" is more funky sounding, reminds me of the harder edged tracks that En Vogue used to do, but with some very unexpected reverb! "Silence" sounds like a lost track from Madonna's "Ray of Light" album, which is not a criticism by any means. The best two tracks of the whole lot, though are the last ones" Never Left a Girl", "Wake Up" and "Palm of Your Hand", which don't sound like anything else I've heard, just great polished pop. "Palm of Your Hand" especially goes round in my head for days, it has loads of great hooks and a fantastic tight funky beat.

Strange to hear for once that a TV show spin-off CD does not end up doing well, and all the more disappointing in this case as it's actually so good, but apparently the sales on it's release were very poor, so it's unlikely that this album is going to find it's way onto many peoples shelves. Maybe some serious word-of mouth can get this hailed as a mini classic.

Fantasy becomes reality and makes an instant pop classic...
Over the past few months, Frank have generated the kind of hype new bands could only dream of. They've suppressed hangovers up and down the UK on a Sunday morning with "Totally Frank" and supported Girls Aloud to an instantly brilliant crowd reaction. And now, they unleash their debut album- and on first listen, it's the album you just know will become an underrated classic.

It's the pop album that blends all musical styles together with a whole bunch of unforgettable melodies, catchy choruses, great harmonies- and all this from four talented ladies who play their own instruments and write their own stuff without sounding remotely like the long forgotten Faders and/or Lovebites? Yeah, I was surprised too.

Brian Higgins and the Xenomania team (Girls Aloud, New Order, Cher, Sugababes) are producers here. And what's even better, every track on here could be a single. My personal favourites are the single, I'm Not Shy, but I also highlight my standouts as Complicated, Turn It Up, Silence, Money In My Pocket, Closer To Me, All I Ever Do, Never Left A Girl and Palm Of Your Hand. So forget all these other so called "albums of 2006" and get this one. You will not regret your purchase, trust me. Frank have landed, and have saved pop from chart obscurity in the process.

Really Kool Album
This album is really great and includes alot of songs from the show!The best song is the first single I'm Not Shy which only charted at 40 but is great the album charted at 110 and they have been dropped and have since split!!!But you can still enjoy this album from start to finish!R.I.P. Frank
