The Sound of GA is a wonderful one! January 21, 2010
B. Wade (NY, USA)
Girls Aloud Greatest hits (so far) is a truly great album by a great pop band.
1.)Sound Of the Underground- The hit that got it all started still sounds as fresh as in 2002.
2.)Love Machine- One of GA's biggest hits though I don't find it all that great personaly.
3.)Biology- Another HUGE HIT and one I LOVE
4.)No Good Advice- People were kinda shocked to hear GA curse but I LOVE the snarky attiude to it.
5.)I'll Stand by You- A nice cover ballad.
6.)Jump- Some People hated it but I loved it. A good cover with a modern sound
7.)The Show- I Hated this song the first time I heard it but it grew on me.
8.)See The Day- Another very nice cover
9.)Wake Me Up- One of my least fav. GA songs but its not too bad.
10.)Life Got Cold- Very good ballad.
11.) Something Kinda Ooh- My favorite song on the album, funky, fast, great dance track.
12.)Whole Lotta History- Slow but good one
13.)Long Hot Summer- Ok, but not thier best
14.)Money- seems a little of of place on the cd frankly.
15. I Think We're Alone Now-I Think this was a terrible way to close out the album! I also Think this is the only cover GA hasn't done well on. It sounds thrown together and way too techno. Overall Great CD, a few boring spots but a MUST HAVE anyway.
Fantastic August 23, 2008

Girls Aloud Greatest Hits release 2006 in the UK. This is the best, they have all the 14 singles on the greatest hits album. Also including a track called Money which is part of the greatest hits not a single. All you pop lovers out there would love to have this who wouldn't? You got to Sound Of The Underground (First Single) up to I Think We're Alone Now (14th Single) their latest single of that year. Who can go wrong with Girls Aloud.
 eeee.. it's ok September 4, 2007

loved track 2. Love Machine and 3. Biology, the rest is kind of bland. yes, yes, standard female-voice-britpop sound, still a little too bland and indistinct for my taste (with the exception of 2 tracks i mentioned above). It just doesn't get to carr yme with it. OK driving music.
Excellent singles band January 20, 2007

No matter what you think of them, you cannot deny that Girls Aloud have put out an extraordinary series of first-rate pop-singles. the tunes and the musicianship have been well above average for this type of band. The albums have also been rather strong, surprisingly. Thus I warmly recommend this fantastic collection of pop singles.
The Sound of Girls Aloud December 2, 2006
Mark (Saugus, CA United States)
Four years on and already time for a greatest hits disc? If Britney Spears could pull it off after only 40 months, then Girls Aloud's thirteen top 10 singles certainly qualify them for such an offering. Yes, the hype every music magazine in Britain has been making is true- the tracks this group puts out are insane. Name one other pop act who had the audacity to mesh three songs into one and proclaim "you can't mistake my biology" as if we were stupid all along to disagree? Or, for that matter, name their comeback single "Something Kinda Oooh"? The risks taken by Girls Aloud and their production-team extraordinaire, Xenomania, are ones not common among the lazy bits of top 40. To see such livelihood and originality from a band created by reality television is an irony if we ever heard one. Simply put, they're the finest mainstream singles act of this decade and the soldiers of futuristic pop. Ballads withstanding, every one of these hits sparkles with a ferocity and sauciness that are impossible to not fall in love with. Anyone who doesn't snap their fingers to the billyrockin' "Love Machine" or strike a pose to the positively sexy electro romp "The Show" is more likely dead, and to not gawk at the genius of "Biology" is a perfect insult. Even the much-maligned "Long Hot Summer" is destined for the pop hall of fame. The music press has proclaimed for the past three to four years now that pop is dead, but with Girls Aloud leading the pack, not only would it be alive and kicking, it would be better than it ever was. And we can overlook the limp cover of "I Think We're Alone Now" (particularly unnecessary) if it meant skipping over to something like "Sound Of the Undeground". Ready for a crazy night out, stilletos and all? You've just got the perfect soundtrack.
