A1 are quite simply the best british pop act to come out of the UK for a long time. What differetiates them from other boybands is that they write 90% of their own songs, play their own instuments and don't mime on stage! And if you think playing intruments means dodgy guitar twanging, think again. 'The A List' contains an inresistable blend of infectious pop and ballards, with two UK number ones (Take One Me and Same Old Brand New You). A1 are currently in America touring, so look out for them near you. This album is certainly for you if you like pop music, and even if you don't, the sound is edgy and and almost R&B like in some songs (I Wonder Why, Nothing But Trouble) to appeal to a wider range of audiences, and differentiates the band from the usual cheesy pop of Backstreet Boys and NSync. Even the ballards are stunning, with the excelent voices of the band easily carrying off an area of pop which can easily fall into the cheesy category.This album is a must-buy, and look out for their new album 'Make it Good' in the US shops soon!
