Part 2 is easily my favourite of the two although part 1 has my top 2 favourite songs overall (something in your eyes and what the future holds).

Part 1 has 4 absolutely stonking singles, plus Come and Dance With Me, To the One and a few other gems. I'd say the only real skipper is that Halfway one.
Part 2 just can't even begin to compete with that calibre for me, even though it's good. |

Part 2 suffered from bad single choices although I say that knowing it makes little difference.
Without streaming on their side single choices and quality material feels irrelevant as the albums aren't reaching to many apart from the fans. |

Dreadful singles from Part 2 - you’re absolutely right! |

The Slightest Touch was the only correct single choice from Part 2 that also should have been selected as the lead single.

I'm always going to think that Take Me for a Ride gets a ridiculously hard time from the fanbase. The song shows a slightly more serious side to them, a moodier vibe, but it's still very much a bop with great melodies throughout. That chorus is bullet proof as far as I'm concerned, and overall it's a stand out track on the album. Clearly it did something good for them because 5 weeks on Radio 2's A List is a high level of support.
I'd say a significant chunk of the album pre-orders were achieved off the back of Heartbreak in This City, so I wouldn't say that was an incorrect single choice. I'll concede that A Hundred Years of Winter wasn't a popular choice in the fan base (though honestly I don't really understand the distaste, it's a well constructed song and in particular I think the bridge has a gorgeous melody to it that builds up to a dramatic chorus). Regardless it was supported by Radio 2 - it made it onto the A List - and this must have played its part in helping the album re-enter the Top 200 for three weeks (alongside the tour). I look at the songs that remained as album tracks and I'm like... I don't think any were massively missed opportunities as singles? Wasted Tears and Living in a Lie are really great songs imo, but really, they have touched upon the vibe of those songs in other singles already. |

I never rated Heartbreak… even before it was announced as a single!

I loved hearing 'Take Me For a Ride' on the tour, it really came alive for me there and I feel like the extra intro on the album version adds something to it.
It's not a highlight single for me and there are several other tracks I would've chosen ahead of it, but I definitely appreciate it a lot more than when it was first released. |

Take me for a ride is fine but its not as memorable as so many of their other singles and sometimes I just forget about ut where with other steps single they never leave your head.

Take me for a ride is excellent and I won’t hear anything else!
The weakest of their lead singles since their comeback but well above some of the follow up single choices. Plus I loved the video! |

I love to the beat of my heart, not as instant for me as some steps singles but I'm a big fan now.

I finally saw the 2CD version of this in the shops today, sadly I didn’t get it as it was $40. I wasn’t prepared to lay that. After just finishing some Christmas shopping, my finances had already taken a bit of a hit.
Maybe I’m the new year, or if I can find it cheaper online. |

I was considering buying it until I saw the price. Non Steps related but I saw the Sugababes vinyl for One Touch too. It’s times like these I’m glad I don’t collect vinyl. Those too along with Adele’s 4 albums would send me broke.

Anyone big into vinyl would nearly need another income as its expensive if building a decent collection so getting good deals like thus weekend is needed.
