Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The album title, Out of Control, is of course a misnomer-- if there is a more in control, empowered, dominant and disciplined pop tour-de-force out there, then Girls Aloud must still be sassier and brassier and a whole lot noisier, because we’re not noticing anyone else. And this is also possibly the most restrained, or at least sleek and refined, collection of songs from the Girls yet. There are a couple of deeply pulsating off-the-peg club floor-fillers in "Turn to Stone" and "The Loving Kind" that embody an out-of-body hedonism, poised retro pastiches like the gliding and punchy "The Promise" and sassy rhythmic "Love Is the Key", then up-tempo 80s-flavoured ballad "Rolling Back the Rivers in Time", direct steamy pop of "Fix Me Up" and brilliantly on the button infectiousness of "Miss You Bow Wow". The fluency is palpable across such a range of subtle twists and turns, their confidence such a given they don’t ever need to force the point. This is album number five and although it’s impossible to fight the feeling of it being the next tidy package from a well oiled production line it’s about as hard not to gawp at the electrifying consistency that sneaks and smashes through its twelve tracks--and in that sense maybe you could say it is a little Out of Control, compared to the competition. --James Berry Polydor See more information on Out of Control at Amazon UK or at Amazon.com Average Rating:  Rating:  - Im in love! I've always just liked the odd song of these girls and never bought an album until now...am totally in love with it!! every song! If i had to name my 3 faves they would be The Loving Kind, Turn to Stone and Untouchable...all i can say is WOW!!! Rating: - Big Big Hair and A HullabalooHaving a creative writing/production team as sharp as Xenomania on your side has delivered, in this, GA's fifth excursion, the most consistent and coherent offering in their meteoric career so far. No mistake - 'Out Of Control' is a five star cracker ! From the slickly retro opening of 'The Promise' to the somewhat edgier riff-led 'We Wanna Party' this is an unfailingly upbeat set of twelve classy, memorable, hook-filled gems. Not since Stock, Aitken and Waterman's 80' heyday have we heard such vibrant, scintillating pop. The project is chock-full of teasingly affectionate musical references. Mr Tennant and Mr Lowe's involvement in 'The Loving Kind' has resulted in a PSB / GA hybrid classic of sorts. 'Rolling Back The Rivers Of Time' is a soulful and uplifting thing of beauty - the "ahh ooh" Wolf howls were especially appreciated. 'Turn To Stone' and 'Love Is Pain' explore electropop territory with sassy aplomb. 'Miss You Bow Wow' ( surely a contender for silly song title of the year ) romps along like a naughty puppy dragging us in tow on its' tight lead. An absolute Hoot ! The Girls can sing. The Girls can dance. The Girls are alright ! Highly Recommended.
