Pretty Good

"A*Teens, the popular Swedish teen group, may not have the best voices in the world, but they sure have some catchy songs. All of them for the most part have a good beat, an energetic chorus, and cute lyrics.
1. Floorfiller - This is a great song to dance to. The beat is great, and the tune rocks. 10/10
2. Have A Little Faith In Me - This is a pretty good song. It's not their best, but it's a moderatly good listen. 7/10
3. Shame Shame Shame - I don't like this song at all. It seems very scrambled. The chorus is just the band screaming "Shame Shame Shame!" 2//10
4. Let Your Heart Do All the Talking - This is a good song. Cool beat, good lyrics. I like it. 8/10
5. A Perfect Match - This track is incredibly catchy. It's upbeat, fun, has a great tune, and cute lyrics. Great. 10/10
6. The Letter - This song is...interesting. It seems very blues, with a pop twist. The chorus is fun. 7/10
7. Cross My Heart - This song is good. The South American intro is a great addition. 8.5/10
8. In the Blink of an Eye - This track sounds like exactly what a teenager would sing. The song isn't great until the chorus, where it picks up. 7/10
9. School's Out - This song is all around fun. The beat is great. It's one of my favorites. 9/10
10. Closer to Perfection - This song is just ok. It's got a pretty good chorus, but is weak all of the rest of the time. 6.5/10
11. Shangri La - This one is also...interesting. I don't love it, but don't hate it either. 6/10
12. One Night In Bangkok - I like this song. The intro is great. 8/10
13. Can't Help Falling In Love - This is one of the better songs on the album. It's got the nicest tune. 9/10
14. Heartbreak Lullaby - This song sounds really sappy. It's nice, though at the same time. 8/10
Overall, this is a good pop disk. If you're a fan of Britney or Hilary, this CD is for you. Overall Rating: 8.5/10"
FABULOUS!!!!

"I have already reviewed "Pop 'Til You Drop," so I will skip all of the songs that appear on that album.As for the newer tracks...HAVE A LITTLE FAITH IN ME--10/10--This is my second favorite song! So pretty and catchy! Makes you feel good, too.SHAME SHAME SHAME--8/10--A great song for playing in the car. The chords when it goes into the chord sound sharp & strange, but it's still a funky song.A PERFECT MATCH--10/10--I looove this song's lyrics because they're so unique! Very fun, sweet song.THE LETTER--9/10--One of the better renditions I've heard of this song! I think they sound fantastic!SHANGRI LA--8/10--Extremely pretty chorus. Not what I would consider the best song, though.ONE NIGHT IN BANGKOK--7/10--This song was annoying at first, but it's definitely growing on me. It's great for a taste of something different, and I love it that the boys get so much more attention!HEARTBREAK LULLABY--10/10--My definite favorite. It's just so beautiful and touching!Obviously, I don't have a lot of negative comments about this album! I love most of the Pop 'Til You Drop tracks, so I was mostly interested in hearing the new ones. I was very pleased!! I like hearing Dhani and Amit sing more than usual, and I like the new funky flavor in these songs! A MUST-HAVE FOR ANY POP FAN!!!!!!"
Great stuff :)

"You can't go wrong with this one. This is A*Teens' third album, along with Pop til you drop.1. Floorfiller
Awesome song. Very catchy. Great for coreographies and stuff. The video is cool too.
2. Have A Little Faith In Me
This is a pretty cool song. Its sweet. Kinda cheesy, but it's alrite. Kinda reminds me of Upside down.
3. Shame Shame Shame
Ahh, great song. Pretty catchy. Its a cover I believe.
4. Let Your Heart Do All The Talking
This song is great to sing and maybe to dance. It was released as a single but can u believe they didnt make a video for it? 0_o
5. Perfect Match
Well, this song is alrite. The radio version is better but its sorta the same thing. Pretty good. And the video is kinda cool too.
6. The Letter
Nice song. Repetitive, but nice. Another cover.
7. Cross My Heart
Ohhh clever latin beats in this one. I love it. Must hear.8. In The Blink Of An Eye
Sweet ballad. Just sweet. Co-written by Marie. Cool.

Alice cooper? wow... pretty cool cover.

13. Can't Hel Falling In Love
Nice cover... pretty cool. The video is fun but sorta.. white? also on Lilo & Stich.14. Heartbreak Lullaby
Its great that they added this song here. One of their best ballads indeed. Overall this cd is a great album for any pop fan. It doesnt matters if u are an ateens fan or not, you might like this album. But I recomend you get their other stuff as well, cuz I must say, they have it goin on pretty well. I reccomend it. >_"

"I'm a die-hard A*Teens fan, and when this came out, I didn't care about the outrageous price ~ and it's DEFINATELY worth it!1.)Floor Filler ~ This is on Pop Til You Drop, but for some reason it sounds better on New Arrival...which is weird. But it's a really fun dancey song. 5/5
2.)Have a Little Faith in Me ~ One of my favorites. It shows that even though the A*Teens are recording different music now they still have that ... something that makes them unique. This one is more of a ballad, which I really like. 5/5
3.)Shame Shame Shame ~ I love this one too! It's really fun, dancey, and definately different. And as the chorous says - you'll wanna dance when you hear it! 5/5
4.)Let Your Heart Do All the Talking ~ Once again, I love this song! It's really cool, kinda nightclubby sounding (to me, anyway) and I love the use of the word "chickenhearted." 5/5
5.)Perfect Match ~ This song's really cool too! If you can, try to get the video from the A*Teens website, its really neat! 5/5
6.)The Letter ~ This one's OK...one of the only ones on the album I sometimes skip. It's just too repetitive. 4/5
7.)Cross My Heart ~ Latin-type music, which is strange coming from a bunch of Swedes - but they pull it off! 5/5
8.)In the Blink of an Eye ~ I love this one! Another slower song, which is nice, and it's got great vocals! 5/5
9.)School's Out ~ The other one I skip. It's OK, but it gets stuck in your head and I don't like Alice Cooper. 4/5
10.)Closer to Perfection ~ Weird, but I really like it. I love the chorous "now I got it together, stronger than ever..." it's really cool! 5/5
11.)Shangri-La ~ Another ballad, it's great though! It's really cool, and pretty...once again I love the chorus! 5/5
12.)One Night in Bangkok ~ MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE! I know it sounds weird at first, but once you get used to the fact that its not going to be sugarcoated like most of their music, you really like it! I especially like the part when they say "Its Iceland...or the Phillipines...or Hastings...or, or this place!" 10/5
13.Can't Help Fallin' in Love ~ I love it! It's from Lilo and Stitch and Pop Til You Drop...if you can see the video on Disney, youll know why I like it! 5/5
14.Heartbreak Lullaby ~ another great ballad, love the vocals. 5/5"
Awesome!

"New Arrival is the Euro/Swedish/Asia Version of USA's Album Pop 'Til You Drop, which was released in the USA last June. Since A*Teens were in the USA promoting and doing concerts for this album, they wanted to hold off releasing it in other parts of the world so they could promote it when it was released there. So since Europe/Sweden/Asia had to wait for about 6 months for this Album, A*Teens wanted to give them something special! So, 6 songs were removed from the original Pop 'Til You Drop tracklisting, and replaced with 6 new songs! Also, two bonus tracks are featured on this album (Heartbreak Lullaby, and Can't Help Falling In Love)1. Floorfiller
- This is A*Teens second single from Pop 'Til You Drop/New Arrival. Its a VERY good song, and one of my faves!2. Have A Little Faith In Me
- This song was suppose to be on Pop 'Til You Drop, however A*Teens felt that it was more of a Euro song. I really enjoy this song :)3. Shame Shame Shame
- This is a cover song, and they did a wonderful job on it!4. Let Your Heart Do All The Talking
- This is a very cool song, nothing at all what you would expect!5. Perfect Match
- This song is really pretty, and is kind of a ballad. However, this has became a single in Europe... and they used a Remix version for it! The video is REALLY cool!!6. Letter
- Another cover song, which RULES! I reallllly like enjoy listening to this song!7. Cross My Heart
- This song was Co-Written by Marie herself, and is def. beautiful. Shakira would have done the same!8. In The Blink Of An Eye
- Marie also Co-Wrote this song too! Def. one of my faves, and it would also make a wonderful single!9. School's Out (Feat. Alice Cooper)
- This is a VERY cool song, and was done very well! Alice Cooper wanted to do this song with A*Teens, and it was def. worth it!10. Closer To Perfection
- This is def. one of the best songs on both albums! This song is one of my absolute favorites, and should def. be a single!11. Shangri-La
- Did anyone notice that on Pop 'Til You Drop that all the members had a song they helped co-write... except Amit? Well, Amit makes his debute with this BEAUTIFUL song! Amit co-wrote this song, and its very very very beautiful.12. One Night In Bangkok
- Yes, its another cover! And boy oh BOY does it sound GOOD! This is a REALLY REALLY cool song!~*~ Bonus Tracks ~*~13. Can't Help Falling In Love
- This is the song to Disney's Lilo & Stitch, and is a great cover song!14. Heartbreak Lullaby
- This song was created for the Euro. version of The Princess Diaries. This is a very very pretty song, and one of my faves :) (NOTE, its the Ballad Version of the song)So is New Arrival worth Importing? HECK YA! I love this CD! Both New Arrival and Pop 'Til You Drop share a special spot in my Stereo, and always will!!Overall I think this CD is GREAT!!! A*Teens are gonna be around for a LONG LONG LONG time! Each new CD, they get better and better! :)"
