Definitely one of the best debut singles of all time! It feels like such a miracle that a group put together by a reality TV show where given a song like this. It could have been so different! What an explosive start to their career. cheeseblock.png Still sounds exciting/fresh after over 20 years. (I find it hard to believe it's been 20 years cry.gif ).

They had to go big or go home and thankfully the team behind them knew it!

Both sound of the underground and no goid advice still sound fresh today. They have aged like fine wine.

I'm glad that the huge success of SOTU allowed them to continue down this sort of route, what a statement of a track!

No Good Advice I think I preferred at the time! But I could have sworn there was a version that ended with the last chorus and had no outro. I definitely had a version like that but then this was the time when Limewire downloading was the norm so I probably got a dodgy version!

No Good Advice was absolutely the perfect follow up. wub.gif I certainly laminated my stan card when I heard this for the first time! A rush of a song. Should have been a #1 for them.

I'm pretty certain this is the first song I ever downloaded illegally... I had a new mp3 player and was discovering means~ of downloading music. Of course I bought the CD once it was available though!

Huge statement track and they were truly best getting such a strong debut.

I was much later cementing my stanning! I did have the album but I would say it was the Chemistry era I became a Stan and the rest is history!

Not as mad on this original version. Sounds a bit flat! Glad they va-va-voomed it up for the re-issue!

This was an instant favourite from the album and it remains my favourite non-single from this era, shame it didn't get its moment as a single (I love the single mix even more!)

As follow ups go they couldn't have nailed it any better, huge shame it didn't go number 1.

I do like some kind of miracle but the newer version out of the 2.

Thank goodness or we wouldn't have met when we did!

I remember the fans were very on board with Some Kind of Miracle being a single, but at the time I wasn't that into the song, enough to desire it to be a single... and honestly I still wouldn't say it was a missed opportunity. Kind of interesting that they remixed it with the view of it being a single but obviously that didn't end up happening. I do like it though!
