Between the release of 2004's The Best Of and 2007's Greatest Hits, Groove Armada released a grand total of one studio album, so it seems like a very peculiar time for the duo's second compilation. Greatest Hits, which even looks a whole lot like The Best Of, merely replaces five of its predecessor's inclusions with cuts taken from 2007's Soundboy Rock. So, on this disc, you get "Song 4 Mutya," "Get Down," "Love Sweet Sound," "Lightsonic," and "Girls Say" instead of "Take Me Home," "Madder," "Chicago," "Think Twice," and "Inside My Mind." Between the two releases, there are nine overlapping tracks. They are both adequate overviews. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

Girls Sugababes |
| By roping in credible producers such as Richard X and peppering their songs with up to the minute electro touches, Sugababes have managed to create songs that appealed as much to the cynical music press as it did to teenage girls. Throw in a revolving door line up and a media fascination with the bands perceived moodiness and you have a recipe for the most successful girl band of the new millennium. However on "Girls", a cover of Ernie K-Does early R&B classic "Here Comes The Girls", The "Babes" lack any of the inventiveness that made singles such as "Freak Like Me" and "Push The Button" so enjoyable. As countless artists have proved over the years, there's nothing wrong with uncovering a hidden gem and putting your own spin on things; Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" springs to mind as a good example. However, you can't help thinking that The Sugababes' producers have hardly been "diggin' in the crates" to uncover "Here Come The Girls" since it has been used extensively by Boots over the last couple of years to sell beauty products. Throw in a few predictable Mark Ronson style horn riffs and you have a sub Atomic Kitten mess that tarnishes a lot of the bands efforts to be taken seriously. | |
