Thanks for hosting Roba. Loved re-visiting this album. :)

My rank: 1. Stronger 2. Round Round 3. Freak Like Me 4. Breathe Easy (Acoustic Jam) 5. Just Don't Need This 6. Shape 7. Blue 8. More Than A Million Miles 9. Supernatural 10. No Man No Cry 11. Switch 12. Angels With Dirty Faces 13. Virgin Sexy 14. Round Round (Alternative Remix)

Round Round (Alternative Mix): I can kind of see why this was included but at the same time it feels rather pointless to me, the original is much better.

Breathe Easy (Acoustic Jam): This is a very nice way to close off the streaming version of this album. It's one I always forget how much I like it until I listen to it again.

More Than A Million Miles: I'm quite a big fan of this, it was one of my favourites from the album around 2006-10 when I was playing it a lot.

Switch: Not a huge favourite anymore, though I was more keen on this 15 years ago. It's not bad though.

Going to try and listen to Tension today so I can vote in this round. Just for Super Mario, oops I mean Love Train. Hands 10 Out of 10 (with Oliver Heldens)

No Man No Cry: The second of 2 UK exclusive track, so I'm still on Youtube with this and I agree with the previous post. I can kind of see the Salt N Pepa vibes in this. Another good song in my view but not one I go back to much.

Just Don't Need This: A UK exclusive bonus track. I'm listening on Youtube as it's not on Australian streaming. :( I really like this one, it's a shame it got left off international versions of the album and a bigger shame that it's still not available to stream worldwide.

Shape: I don't mind this song, not a favourite but I don't hate it either. I don't mind the sample, but I could live without Stings vocals on the track.

Virgin Sexy: This song has never really sat right with me, I can't quite describe why that is but it just misses the mark for me.

Angels With Dirty Faces: Not a fan of this one much at all and one of my least favourite singles from them.

I do quite like Carry You Home, so I might need to give this album a listen.

Supernatural: Like Blue before it this is a solid album track for me, went back to it a fair bit when I became a fan in the mid 00s. Haven't gone back to it for a while, so this has been benefit of the listen through.

It's not their best single but it's great to see it have a bit of a chart life. Top 40 would be nice.

Loved the song Not On Drugs, such a highlight imo.

Stronger: Such a stunning and beautiful ballad with a beautiful message. I think it might be my favourite balled from the Sugababes.

Round Round: Unlike the previous single I can actually remember this from when it was released in Australia as it peaked at #13, so it got a lot more exposure. I really like this one whenever I hear it and it'd probably be in my top handful of singles from the Sugababes.

50 Cent featuring Mobb Deep - Outta Control

Blue: I enjoy this and it's a nice follow up as an album track. Could've possibly been a single but then again the singles they chose were all pretty great.

Freak Like Me: This completely passed me by in 2002, maybe because it only just scraped into the Australian Singles top 50 at #44. I discovered it in 2006 though when I started getting into the Sugababes as a proper fan and for me this has aged like fine wine. Great then, brilliant now.

Jumping into this album now for some Saturday morning listening.

Thanks. :) I’m loving it so far, really looking forward to the album in two weeks.

#2 in Australia.
