Girls Aloud - Out of Control

1). The Promise - a catchy, fun track which will be stuck in your head for days. [7/10]

2). The Loving Kind - A great pop-dance track with that element of Tangled Up's "Call The Shots". The slowness of the track really drags you into the story. [8/10]

3). Rolling Back the Rivers in Time - A track which can be boring, it gets old towards the end. [4/10]

4). Love is the Key - Nothing special, a filler. [2/10]

5). Turn to Stone - A track which is very forgetable, it's not something that stays in your mind.[2/10]

6). Untouchable - a song which tries to hard to be a big epic ballad as it drags on for about ten minutes. [3/10]

7). Fix Me Up - A great, catchy track which is a mix of bubblegum pop, electronica & hip-hop. [9/10]

8). Love is Pain - Another filler which will be forgotten. Very plain. [4/10]

9). Miss You Bow Wow - a song which is lyrically cheeky & quick but fails to have the "oommf" impact it should & tries to have. You should get up on your feet and dance to a song like this but it fails to get you excited. [6/10]

10). Revolution in the Head - A plain filler. [2/10]

11). Live in the Country - A song which is fun and will stick in your head but can be very annoying. [7/10]

12). We Wanna Party - A fast, up-beat track. Girls Aloud going back to their days at St. Trinians, perhaps? [7/10]

Conclusion -

Not Girls Aloud best work. In my ears, their worst album. On first listens to might think "Wow.. this is great" but then realise it's full to the top of boring fillers which won't keep you having a good time & being entertained. For an album called Out of Control it's pretty boring.
