Really glad they corrected that wrong for Tears on the Dancefloor!

 

Absolutely! Steps is upbeat pop, not watered down Christmas covers.

I didn’t go to the Christmas tour in 2012 and… judging by this album, I’m kinda glad.

 

That said, I LOVED that they had a live band and wish they’d go back to it for a bigger show. But then Steve Anderson is amazing at what he does so I’m conflicted lol!

Overjoyed? Why do they sing this one without any joy..And the production sounds dated to me as well. Love the Stevie version, don’t enjoy this one at all!

 

3/10, sorry not sorry!

3. It May Be Winter Outside

 

 

Okay so this is a bit better, would be low tier on a normal Steps album but it’s definitely one for the keep pile!

Howling!!!!

Still, it didn’t work for them. I like that you could hear the growth in their voices but even the shows for this album are a bit boring (despite the live band)

4. One Less Bell To Answer

 

 

This song is five minutes long and I’ve decided less than five seconds in it’s not for me…

Still, it didn’t work for them. I like that you could hear the growth in their voices but even the shows for this album are a bit boring (despite the live band)

 

On this tour they played the closest they’ve ever played to my house and… I didn’t go! Ha!

This one is better! They kept the upbeat feeling and I appreciate that they started to share the vocals a lot more on this song (and on this album in general. Still, the production on this one is a bit dated as well.

 

So for this one 5.5!

Boring, boring, boring, boring…

 

This one gets a 3/10

Howling!!!!

 

:P

 

Not trying to hate this album but I’m not ging to be the fan that likes everything. And I understand why you didn’t go.

Boring, boring, boring, boring…

 

This one gets a 3/10

 

It’s still going!!

It’s still going!!

 

I was done with it after 20 seconds ;)

Starting late!

 

9 years after buying the CD, I'm listening to this for the first time...

 

This first track doesn't come across as Steps at all :o

5. A House Is Not a Home

 

 

On a serious note, is this what Claire Richards’ album is full of? I’ve never listened to it…

Oh, specific reason you didn’t listen to it?

I was done with it after 20 seconds ;)

 

During the listening party you should listen ;)

Oh, specific reason you didn’t listen to it?

 

He’s a bad fan and I’m thinking of ousting him as moderator. Spiceboy as well as he hasn’t joined tonight AND hasn’t finished his Buzz listen through.

Oh, specific reason you didn’t listen to it?

For some reason I never found time for it in 2012, and then in the years that have passed since I've always thought... "nah, can't be bothered" :lol:

6. Light Up The World

 

 

This is more Steps but again we are talking low tier. I know this one a bit more because occasionally it gets some spins on Radio 2.
