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

Having 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.

I have never downloaded before so thought I would choose a cheaper album just in case it all went wrong!. Was so impressed, it was so easy. Downloaded with no problems whatsoever. Burned to CD instantly with no problems and the sound quality is superb. Never a fan of Girls Aloud but this album is brilliant and I havent stopped listening to it yet.

Compared to their last few albums this is really, really poor. Nothing really stands out, all very average. Spend your christmas money elsewhere
