Feels So Good

by

Atomic Kitten

Edit

I got this import because I absolutely loved the preview of "Walking On the Water" and "Tide is High", and I have to say this is worth all the import fees. I first learnt of AK when someone gave me "Right Now", which has some great songs and even better harmonies. AK also doesn't have just one lead singer - they are all equal to one another.

1. It's Ok=A- too slow for my liking but still very soothing and cute. The beginning is very catchy.

2. Love Wont Wait=A. Really fun and upbeat song with original AK flavor.

3. Tide Is High=A+. Never gets boring! and one of my faves.

4. Feels So Good= A. Disco like and Kylieish

5. Walking On the Water=A++++. A great semi slow with pretty harmonies. Absolutely the best of this album.

6. The Moment You Leave Me=B. Lyrics a little too depressing for my tastes, but it's singing is the contrat...

7. The Last Goodbye=A. Pretty song.

8. Love Doesn't Have to Hurt=A. Another one of my faves from this album. Slow and pretty but sad.

9. Softer the Touch=A-. Downright naughty song but cool anyways.

10. The Way that You Are=B+

11. Baby Don't U Hurt Me=A-. Very contemporary and yummy song, written by one of the kittens.

12. So Hot=A. Another good song but gets alittle tiring after a while.

13. Maybe I'm Right=B. Somewhat boring ballad.

14. No One Loves You (Like I Love You)=A. Another one of my favorite slow songs from AK, probably after Eternal Flame.

For some reason my edition also included their debut single "Whole Again", which is a great song off "Right Now".

Atomic Kitten's sophomore disc seems to be a total concession to the success of the first album's million-selling smash 'Whole Again'--never mind that it was arguably the worst song on the album and simply a really bad middle-of-the-road trifle. So FEELS SO GOOD manages to squeeze in as many 'Whole Again' impersonators as humanly possible, in the process sucking almost all the fun out of the whole thing. Almost--they're still best when they're dancing, as on 'Love Won't Wait','Softer The Touch', and the album's best track, the title cut, provided by none other than our favorite Aussie diva Kylie Minogue. And their cover of 'The Tide Is High' is more a retread of Billie Piper's recent version than Blondie's--all gloss, but not much else. All in all, it's hard to call FEELS SO GOOD a complete failure, but those who loved the disco-spiked jams of RIGHT NOW will be disappointed--the best you can do is hold out hope they release the first-rate title track as a future single and buy that instead.
