"Yes, Five is British pop group of (five) guys. But unlike the other so called "boybands" Five cowrote several songs on their debut album. And, although Five does not have a very talented lead singer (think Nick Carter and Chris Kirkpatrick mixed up), I love their rapping! Note: Don't get this for a child who is not yet in middle school, I wouldn't call it appropriate for that age level.1. When The Lights Go Out - This is a really fun song, with no corny lines in it. The guy is telling his girl that he knows he has treated her bad, but he'll show her "what it's all about" when the lights go out.2. That's What You Told Me - I love this song! This differentiates Five from most of the teen bands out right now, because they aren't afraid of doing a song that is basically, get out, don't wanna see you no more, etc. Yes, on the BSB's new album they have ONE song like that, and Nsync's '00 album has one too, but Five has 2 great tributes to nasty ex-girlfriends that the guys can relate too. Yes, I'm a girl, but I still enjoy the song.3. It's the things You Do - Very cool! The album version has the rap on it, the single is all singing(I prefer the rap version). This is one of my favorite tracks, because of the lyrics and continous beat.4. When I remember When - Could be a perfect summer love song. Unfortunately, their lead singer (I think Scott) sounds WAY too whiny. SOrry, dude. I like your voice alright, but they lyrics are WAY better.5. Slam Dunk Da Funk - It's ok, but have NO IDEA why they released it. There are plenty of way better tracks on the album.6. Satisfied - I like this song more than When I Remember when. Maybe 'cause it isn't as sad, and Five sounds more like real guys (meaning the lyrics aren't I'd die without you, never break your heart, I'd give everything I own, etc. Love the Boys, but I love Five too.)7. It's All Over - Think That's What You Told Me, but just as good without being repetitive.8. Partyline - Pretty fun song to have a party to.9. Until the Time Is through - Has the same beat as When I remember WHen, same whiny voice, same sad lyrics. But it's a nice song. I still like When I remember WHen more, though.10. Everybody Get Up - Very cool! A rock song glorifying Five in such a bad-boy, punk-rock style I don't know if I love it or hate it...;)11. My Song - Love the beat, great party tune12. Got The Feelin' - Nothingmuch, just a feel-happy kinda song (it isn't about love, though)So, I wanted to give this 3 and 1/2 stars, but I can't figure out how to do that. But if your boyfriend hates pop/boy bands, and you want to surprise him, get him this. Don't mean to stereotype, since I love it too."

"5ive is the best group. I always listen to their music to perk me up. Their music just has this excitment that most aritst dont have. The rap gets you up to dance, while the slow songs(sang by SCOTT and Richie) mellow you out and calm you down. This CD would be a great gift for anyone who likes music"
Almost as great as 'N Sync!

"I am a HUGE 'N Sync fan, and I was skeptic to actually accept another boyband to like, but I love 5ive! They're just the perfect mix for me- pop and rap. They're not as musically talented as 'N Sync, and not quite as cute, and maybe have a little more edge to them, but still they're just about having fun and they're music is awesome! Plus, Ritchie is so adorable! I don't like "That's what you told me" but I love "It's the things you do", "when I remember when", and "got the feelin""
The Best BoyBand ALBUM YET!

"5ive's debut album clearly blows away the falseness of the Backstreet Boys and the rather annoying sound of Nsync, by giving the fans straight out pop, with out that overly sugar sweet sound you'll find in the other boy bands. Five is not afraid to admit they "get wild" and has contact with girls, as they demonstrate on their songs. The songs on this album have a pop sound mixed in with rap, r&b, hip hop, and "funk". This album NEVER gets boring, can be played from start to finish without EVERY getting bored with a track! Don't hesistate at ALL, get this AlBUM!"
Great band with variety to their music

"I think Five are a really great group. They have a bad boy style but still some goodness with them. Songs like "When The Lights Go Out" "Partyline-555-Online" and "Got The Feelin'" display their bad boy side while songs like "I Remember When" and "Until The Time Is Through" show their romantic side. Other songs "Slam Dunk Da Funk" and "Everybody Get Up" tell people to get up and dance. It's a whole switching CD, and I think that's good to add a little variety to the types of songs they sing. So if you like variety and a good rhythm to dance to, this CD is worth buying."
