September 21, 200717 yr "Studio 1" was really good, don't know why it was such a flop, it really deserved so much better. Glad they're recording new stuff.
September 21, 200717 yr No. A lot of fans cite Studio 1 as their fave AS album, it's the timing and promo that were all wrong. Material-wise it couldn't be stronger. Totally agree. I'm sorry but their first two albums are pure filler aside from the singles, no way was the material the problem with Studio 1, it was infinitely stronger as an album than their first two by far.
September 21, 200717 yr I'm sorry but their first two albums are pure filler aside from the singles This is unfortunately VERY true, the only album track I listen to even occasionally is Surrender. I think the problem was that singles-wise, Rock Steady and Chick Fit just weren't as catchy as any of the early stuff, and RS only achieved top 3 off the back of the hype. Based on the material alone, it would never have reached that high, and that's why they came unstuck with Chick Fit after the fuss had died down a bit. If they can come out with a few killer tracks (we KNOW they can do it; Never Ever and Pure Shores are proof), then I don't think there's any reason they can't resurrect themselves.

If they can come out with a few killer tracks (we KNOW they can do it; Never Ever and Pure Shores are proof), then I don't think there's any reason they can't resurrect themselves. Really Rock Steady was absolute perfection: VERY catchy, a nice fresh sound for them, something that didn't sound as though it was trying to be 'youthful' - just plain good pop. However, much as I love Chick Fit, it was perhaps not the right choice for 2nd single - or if it was, it should've been promoted properly and given a video with a budget higher than £10. This is how I'd have done it: 1st Single - Rock Steady 2nd Single - Scar Album - Studio 1 3rd Single - Chick Fit Scar is frankly WAY too amazing to go forgotten. :wub:
September 21, 200717 yr I think 'On And On' would have made an excellent third single had the project not gone down the pan, it's an ace ballad that would have also pleased fans of their older material. Then for a fourth I'd have either gone with 'Flashback', 'Headlock' or even 'Scar'. And I wouldn't say 'Chick Fit' was a bad choice at all. I'd say it was the perfect choice, however after the album was a high-profile flop in such a way that anything they released after that would get no airplay whatsoever, minimal videoplay and of course the single being made download only didn't help.
September 21, 200717 yr I always found 'On And On' to be quiet overrated tbh, and 'Headlock'. 'Too Nasty' would be great though. :D
September 21, 200717 yr I loved On & On and One Me & You :wub: You love the overrated ones :lol: Everyone fancy doing an album rate? Rock Steady - 9 Chick Fit - 8.5 On And On - 6.5 Scar - 9 Not Eazy - 8.5 Hell No - 8.5 One Me And You - 6.5 Headlock - 5 Too Nasty - 8.5 In It To Win It - 6 Flashback - 7 Fundamental - 5 Overall I'd give the album 7.5 out of 10. :P
September 21, 200717 yr Rock Steady - 9.5 Chick Fit - 10 On And On - 9 Scar - 8.5 Not Eazy - 7 Hell No - 5 One Me And You - 0 :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: Headlock - 9 Too Nasty - 5 In It To Win It - 6 Flashback - 9 Fundamental - 8

September 21, 200717 yr 'Do Me' was AMAZING, had a lot of potential but sadly was only a b-side for 'Rock Steady'. :(
September 21, 200717 yr Rock Steady - 10 Chick Fit - 9 On And On - 9 Scar - 10 Not Eazy - 7 Hell No - 7 One Me And You - 5 Headlock - 10 Too Nasty - 7 In It To Win It -10 Flashback - 10 Fundamental - 10 Overall rate 8.5/10
September 21, 200717 yr 'Do Me' was AMAZING, had a lot of potential but sadly was only a b-side for 'Rock Steady'. :( I second that, the beat was amazing
September 22, 200717 yr I looked to try to find ANY confirmation that there even was a press conference and can't find any. I don't believe any of it.
September 22, 200717 yr Rock Steady - 10 Chick Fit - 7 On And On - 10 Scar - 9 Not Eazy - 7 Hell No - 9 One Me And You - 8 Headlock - 8 Too Nasty - 7 In It To Win It - 10 Flashback - 9 Fundamental - 10 I think they should have released: 1st single - Rock Steady 2nd single - Fundamental (great ballad, amazing chorus) 3rd single - In It To Win It 4th single - Scar / Hell No I don't choose On and On, because it's a weak song as a single.
September 22, 200717 yr I hope they do, Studio 1 was much better than it was given credit for... well i might listen to it later. its on the £1 pile at the moment just in case i run out of other new things to listen to
October 10, 200717 yr Rock Steady - 10 Chick Fit - 10 On And On - 10 Scar - 7 Not Eazy - 7 Hell No - 9 One Me And You - 8 Headlock - 8 Too Nasty - 5 In It To Win It - 7 Flashback - 9 Fundamental - 10 Deffo think that Fundamental or On and On :wub: shud have been released!!
