"From the very first time I listened to The Saturdays, I fell in love with them. I quickly bought their first album, "Chasing Lights", which immediately became one of my most listened to albums. The Saturdays rival Girls Aloud for my favorite group, although admittedly the Sats have got a ways to go before they are quite at the GA level. However, I don't let that get in the way of the fact that I completely LOVE THEM!
When I first listened to "Wordshaker", I was blown away. I love their first album, but this one is BETTER! The songs are even more catchy this time around, and the girls sound more relaxed and comfortable in what they're doing. There's a much more natural feel to "Wordshaker" than "Chasing Lights". I've honestly listened to this album more times than I can possibly count. It's THAT good!
Now, for the songs:
Forever Is Over - The first single from the album. A good track, but not one of my favorites from the album. A more Pop/Rock song, with Una playing guitar, which is awesome. Una is my favorite :)
Here Standing - A slower song. Good, but nothing too special.
Ego - The second single from the album. I love this song! It's catchy, it has a great beat, and great vocals from the girls! A wonderful song that never tires for me. One of the album's finest tracks, and one of the girls best songs to date. A good choice for a single, and don't forget to check out the music video!
No One - Another slow song. Better than "Here Standing". A really good song, actually. Not the most memorable on the album, but still always good for a listen.
One Shot - The ABSOLUTE BEST song that The Saturdays have made thus far, let alone on "Wordshaker". I don't know how many times I've listened to it, but I know I'll be listening to it many, many more times in the future. The beat is awesome, the verses and chorus are just rocking, the vocals are spot on, and I dare you to not shake your butt to this! I guarantee you'll be tempted! This song alone makes the album worth buying. I just can't get enough!
Wordshaker - The title track of the album. It's catchy and has a good beat. The chorus is the highlight, and it makes a great Saturdays song. Not much else to say here.
Denial - A slow song, and the best slow song on the album. Beautiful lyrics and vocals. A truly emotional experience.
Open Up - A super fun song and one of my favorites on the album. It's EXTREMELY catchy and has a great beat. I'm in love with this song, and it's another one that I'm constantly listening to.
Lose Control - An upbeat song. Catchy and likable. One of the album's better tracks.
Not Good Enough - A slow song. It's really good and a good song to sing along to. A beautifully flowing song.
Deeper - On the slow side. The Saturdays actually all co-wrote this song, and it's pretty decent. I wouldn't call it the high point of the album, but completely enjoyable.
2AM - The closing track, and an excellent one. From the time it begins playing, it has my full attention. It pulls me right in and gets me grooving along to the lyrics. Easily one of my favorite Saturdays songs! One more that never gets old, it's a wonderful song.
Not to mention, I recently got an autographed copy signed by all 5 girls, which makes me love it even more :)
To sum it up, if you're considering buying "Wordshaker" by The Saturdays, you should definitely do it immediately! You won't be sorry! This is a sadly underrated album that deserves a chance to be heard, because it's simply awesome. Also, if you're a pop fan who's never listened to The Saturdays, then start here with one of the most talented groups on the scene. Go Saturdays!"

"finds The Saturday's picking up right where they left off.
From their debut album "Chasing Lights".
They've upped the ante this time around with more uptempo songs and just an all around great effort. I'm eagerly awaiting what they have in store for the future. Because they have loads of potential and a unique sound as well. Well crafted songs and accompanying videos only make it that much better. I love the video/song "Ego" also "One Shot", "Wordshaker" and "Forever Is Over" as a few of my ones i enjoy from this album."
Buy it!

"AWESOME!!! If you like girl groups at all and/or pop music, this is a fantastic album for you. The opposite of "bubble gum pop," this is just great easy listening pop music!!! I immediately fell in love with this album!"
