Saints & Sinners Reviews:
funky pop 
2001-01-29 - All Saints distance themselves even more from the spice girls with their latest release. This Cd is awesome! On each and every track the girls sing to the max, give us attitude and sass, and the production is seemless and amazing. "Saints & Sinners" is an amazing blend of electro-pop/r&b/funk. From the sexy attitude filled "all hooked up" to the sweet and gentle "i feel you" and the electro-pop "black coffee", this album is a must for any music lover. It's pop with that extra twist. Way to go girls! (Oh and the 2 bunus tracks are awesome as well)
All Saints Get it Together!
2001-01-20 - The All Saints' sophomore album "Saints and Sinners" is a wonderful CD that stands as a vast improvement over their debut self-titled album. It is jam-packed with mellow tunes and funky beats, with an overpowering feel-good atmosphere present throughout its fourteen tracks. The album's major drawcard, the stunning dance track "Pure Shores", is a shining example of what the remainder of this enjoyable album is all about. "Black Coffee" (the album's first official single) follows in a similar vein, as it is a rather slow adaptation of "Pure Shores" with a strong Caribbean feel about it. I was impressed that the album could flow from carefree dance tunes, to passionate raps, to somber ballads in a manner that still manages to be coherent. In particular, I appreciated the fact that the All Saints managed to weave so many fiery raps and other interesting vocal techniques into the album. For example, the rap incorporated in the "Pure Shores" remix adds a whole new dimension to a song that is excellent enough in its original form. Other standout songs on the album include "Surrender", the damn funky "Ha Ha", "All Hooked Up" and the dynamic title track "Saints & Sinners". Overall, I think this album is an amazing pop/funk/dance recording that would appeal to anybody from teeny-boppers to adults. Without exaggerating, I would go as far as to say it represents the finest release from one of the greatest pop groups in the world. Do yourself a favor: purchase this album and start raving like me!
A wonderful CD!
2000-12-30 - This is a wonderful cd. The songs are simply mesmerizing and are perfect for a good dance party. The perfection of their songs is so complete that they go beyond the normal worked song level of their contemporary groups. Despite the rhythm and beat that makes the songs easy to dance to, the blend of their voices is the focus of their songs. Despite the fact that Pure Shores and Black Coffee have become international hits, many other songs on the cd reach their level and sophistication. The best of them all are All Hooked Up, Whoopin' over You, Saints & Sinners yet Dreams, Surrender, Ha Ha and Ready, Willing and Able are also very good.
A great cd
2000-12-29 - a great cd this cd has a lot of catchy pop songs and i just love it!! Its better than their first cd
WaKE uP +SmeLL the Black Coffee! 
2000-12-06 - So the Saints FINALLY return with a follow up to their hit filled debut and this is one EXCELLENT album! If the brilliant "Pure shores" didn't get you excited, then surely the mesmerising "Black coffee" got under your skin. With William Orbit at the helm, the girls move into deeper, sexier musical waters and the album is lifted. "Black coffee" is SO infectious, it will NEVER let go -and DON'T wait to see the girls perform that sexy routine live! Not every track on the set has the power to hit you like the 2 singles BUT other highlights include the outrageously seXy "All hooked up" with it's sleazy, deep, Shaznay-sung hooks >> "I know that you want a piece of my ass -don't you know that a guy like you wouldn't last?". The gorgeous "Surrender" sounds very much like a take from Ray of Light or Music thanks to William Orbit's perfect production BUT it's a killer track all the same and destined to ride high in the charts. "Love on love" is a delicious 80's style pop-dance confection that lifts the second half of the set. The Saints are hardly your average all singing-all dancing girl band and this album is most certainly not disposable, trashy pop. Discover the difference for yourselves!
This UK version includes a B side "I don't wanna be alone" and the latin-spiced "One more tequila" BUT **check out** the Australian release which features 2 bonus RnB remixes of "Shores" and "Coffee".
