- Awesome album

So maybe this album has only 7 songs. Call it a sampler! If you're just getting into a1 then this album will do good for you. If you decide that you like them then buy their imports like their first album "Here We Come" and their second one "The A List" and then buy "Make It Good"

This CD features a mix of songs from all three of those albums. So don't expect this album to be a big whoo-ha for all you music lovers.

These guys have solid harmonies, best I've ever heard. I love their music, been loving it for a long time even before they hit the U.S. It's good they did because these guys deserve the credit.

1. Caught in the Middle - a big difference from their last album if you listened to their pop-like song "Same Old Brand New You"

2. Make It Good - Displays more of their great harmony

3. When I'm Missing You - shows just how good Ben can sing, high or low

4. Everytime - one of the best songs on their first album, this song really expresses how they feel and once again their harmony!

5. If I Can't Have You - once again what can I say? Their harmony says it all, when they sing the song just sounds excellent!

6. One More Try - Another good song from their 2nd album. You can really hear Christian's awesome guitar skills, love that and love the harmony!

7. Same Old Brand New You - This song has that pop edge to it, I think it's the one song that sounds like the most pop out of this whole album. It's a wonderful song. Just as catchy as the other ones.

Well hopefully this can help any new a1 fans, buy this CD as a small sampler. a1 is makin it good here in the U.S. so buy this CD, ok?!

- Finally, they've hit the U.S.!!

Don't you just love boy bands? Yes? No? Maybe?

Well you've got to love a1! Yes, I'm about to rave on about how much I love their music and such.

Yup, I've been a fan since the beginning! That was what, 1999? Yeah, I was watching Channel V and this sweet ballad comes on, "Everytime" with some of the cutest guys I had ever seen in my life!

Bump that~it's not the looks that make 'em awesome! It's their awesome talent! NO, they're not ANOTHER BOY BAND!! They're not trying to squeeze into the music scene with NSYNC or Backstreet Boys..

No, if they wanted to do that, they would've done that at the beginning without gaining their respect they've gotten from Europe, Asia, Africa...

These guys truly have a passion for music! They've composed all their songs, (with the exception of like a few of them which they co-wrote) and of course play their own instruments with the exception of one band member.

They've got the most solid and beautiful voices of any boy band I have ever heard in my life! When they harmonize it's just amazing to hear how such great singers they are.

Don't believe me? Listen to "Forever in Love" on their first album "Here We Come."

They've got a modern rock/pop edge to their new material in their new album "Make It Good" just listen to the song "Caught in the Middle."

This CD entitled "a1" is just a sampler, a small glance at their music for any of you who have just discovered a1!

Filled with their chart topping hits and new songs it's an awesome CD!

You've got to get their album "The A List" and "Here We Come" to get a look at what you missed out, because the U.S. doesn't always get to see big music sensations that hit only International radios and televisions!

Come'n everybody, you've gotta let the world know that a1 rocks!!

Go to the official a1 website at a1-online.com

Check out their latest news and even join the street team and help support them in promoting their new album!

They deserve all the credit we can give 'em!

You will not be disappointed, buy this CD it's out in stores, and it's wicked!

- Fantastic!

Finally another album from my fave group, a1! Altough I live in Norway, I got the US album, and it's great! It's the same songs from the other a1 albums I have, but with the new versons, they sound more 'grown up'. You'll not regret buying this album! If you like the hit 'Caught in the middle', you'll love all the songs on this album! a1 even wrote the song 'When I'm missing you' to their fans, cause the meet all these nice people all the time. 'Same old brand new you', a1's second no1, is much cooler on this album. Buy it, and you'll never regret.

Keep the a1-pride alive!

- A1 is awesome beyond belief!

Although I don't own the American release CD, I do own all three of their UK CD releases, and I think these guys are absolute great. Their harmonies are awesome, their keyboard and guitar work is incredible, and the songs are outstanding -- ranging from sweet ballads to edgier pop/rock. I have to echo other reviewers who say, if you haven't heard A1 and you are looking for great pop music, give this "sampler" a try, then go order the UK imports for the complete sound package. You won't go wrong. A1 is their name, and it pretty well sums up their sound!

- A1- Here the come

A1 is such an excellent group. I've actually been a fan of them before they came to America. The CD is pretty good, but the only bad thing is they should have put more tracks on it. I have two of their albums from the UK and they are smashing! I love every song on both CD's. That's why I'm simi disappointed that some of the songs didn't make it on this album because I know the American fans would fall in love with the lyrics and the vocals. And something that sets them apart from any other group is that they actually write 90% of their album. And that's pretty hard to come by these days. But all in all A1 has a promising future in America if they stick with us and give us sometime.
