Taller in More Ways Reviews:
Mutya Don't Go!!!!!!!!! 
2006-08-28 - I've been a fan of the Sugababes since the first Cd and have seen the lineup changes as well as continued growth musically. I loved this album and the heir of cool that these girls seem to carry. Push the button is good but red Dress has that classic Sugababes sound that we have all come to associate them with. Best of luck to Mutya in the future and i hope the girls can keep it real and keep it together.
Perhaps the best Pop Album of the last 10 years
2006-03-25 - If you are reading this review because you are interested in this recording - just add it to cart now. This is the tightest pop album since - Blondie's 'Eat To The Beat' ? This is that good. I have turned so many people on to this - because it is still not available domestically in the states - one must wonder what is wrong with the industry here considering the garbage they force on you if you listen to commercial radio here. Maybe the 'Babes are TOO TALENTED AND TOO HOT for the States! Wouldn't surprise me. Between the incredible Depeche Mode "Personal Jesus" riff in "It Ain't Easy", the inspiring title track "Ugly" (it quotes 'Taller In More Ways'), the funky 'Bruised' - the startling pop quality of 'Push The Button' - without a doubt the best single in the last 5 years - no wonder it was #1 in the UK forever. There is not a bad track - this is so listenable you will want to be a Sugababe - these women are genuine. No gashes to the Spices, but they could not put together an album like this. (Also these ladies can SING). Track 10 - ACE REJECT - is so amazing you will wonder over and over why this is not being played here! Of course, look at the president here and you can wonder lots of things.
Major love to MY personal sugababe, Lauren - love you babe. ;)
i am a HUGE Sugababes fan
2006-03-10 - I'll tell you which CD that has another bonus tracks... i bought a Sugababes album with 13 tracks... unlike UK's version... coz it has 12 songs....
i've met Sugababes once on last August 16th 2001... and saw them on TV which they were appears on Rumba Festival Summer 2002 show.
1. Push the Button - I ABSOLUTELY love this song... it's pretty good song... it's catchy and kinda dance song 10/10

13. Now You're Gone (Bonus track, an Australian limited edition only) - this song is about Mutya who left the group and replaced by new member Amelle... so yeah 8.5/10
Good....but not as great as earlier albums 
2006-02-09 - I've been a sugababes fan for years and have enjoyed all of their albums, from the more a cappalla one touch to the more dance Three. I looked forward to this album, but was a little dissapointed when I got it. The songs are still quite good (I still can't see why they haven't caught on in the US - I think that they are superior to many things on the radio now), I'm just don't think that the album has that same unique songs that you jump out at you like earlier albums do. Overall, it's great driving music, very repetitive in general is my one real criticism, several of the songs don't have many verses but just a repetitive chorus.
Quite possibly their best yet
2006-01-29 - This album is battling to become my favourite Sugababes album. It is in competition with Three, which is magnificent.
This album, the last with Mutya, has some of their finest songs to date and some brilliant production and lyrics. At only 11 tracks long (12 if you have the UK bonus track, which I don't), it seems short, but packs a lot into those 11 tracks. My rundown:
01. Push The Button (9/10)
The lead single of the album, this was No.1 in the UK for 3 (I think?) weeks. It's immediately catchy and very easy to sing along to. Keisha leads most of the song, with Mutya and Heidi singing the verses. Fun, upbeat with a saucy video.
02. Gotta Be You (9/10)
Another upbeat song, this is really catchy, with a repetitive chorus that you would expect to get boring, but somehow it doesn't. The first time I played this, I was like 'Boooooring' but now I love it, it's a lot of fun to sing along to. The girls share vocals out throughout the song.
03. Follow Me Home (10/10)
This ballad is reminscient of songs from Three like "Caught In A Moment", "Too Lost In You" and "Sometimes". That, my friends, is a very good thing. This song is beautiful and moving - I absolutely love the chorus, it's amazing! Heidi is absolutely brilliant on the middle 8, and Mutya and Keisha do the remainder of the song well. One of my favourites!
04. Joy Division (9/10)
Another upbeat song, this song is slightly strange with peculiar lyrics music. It's catchy with singable bits throughout. I don't know why it's called "Joy Division," they don't mention those words anywhere in the song. Anyway, a good song, if strange.
05. Red Dress (7/10)
This is the Babes new single and first single with Amelle. I wish it wasn't and that they had chosen something else, this is one of my least favourite tracks on the album. I don't know why, but this song is bland and uninteresting to me. The chorus is slightly catchy though, and Amelle does improve the song somewhat.
06. Ugly (8/10)
This song is probably my other least favourite. The Babes Christmas single, this reached No.3. I loved it on the first listen, but after repeated plays, it has gotten boring. "Ugly" has a brilliant message behind it about accepting people as they are and not judging people by their looks, but to me, it's bland and boring. But it's Mutya's last single with the group, so good on it.
07. It Ain't Easy (9/10)
The shortest track on the album, clocking in at 3:05, this is fast paced and upbeat. The chorus is really catchy, and gets caught in your head instantly. Before you know it, the song is over! But that's a good thing, it keeps your attention with it's short length.
08. Bruised (9/10)
This song is incredibly cool, it's very chilled out and relaxed, until Keisha starts singing the bridge. This song is another catchy one, and I like singing along to the chorus, which Heidi leads. Another very cool track.
09. Obsession (10/10)
I didn't even know this song was a cover until recently. But even if it is, it's brilliant! The lyrics are kinda random, about being obsessed with somebody, but the girls' vocals are really cool. Very catchy with great music.
10. Ace Reject (10/10)
This song is wonderful! Heidi's middle 8 is absolutely brilliant, her vocals and the lyrics are just amazing. The song takes almost 2 minutes to get to the chorus, it's a different format of song then just verse-bridge-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus-middle 8-chorus. Very cool song, with a catchy chorus (when it finally kicks in).
11. 2 Hearts (10++++/10)
This is it! The very last track on the album is my absolute favourite. This song is absolutely, utterly amazing. Heidi leads the majority of the song, singing the first verse, first bridge and leading the chorus, whereas Mutya sings the second verse and Keisha sings the middle 8. This song is so beautiful - full of amazing instrumentals (especially the ending) and a wonderful chorus with great lyrics - "2 you's, 2 me's, 2 minds to please" is just one line. I absolutely <3333 this song so much, one of my favourite Babes songs ever!
Overall, the album's quality of songs is amazing, apart from two songs, the rest is high quality and brilliant. A great 4th album, look forward to more from the Babes with Amelle.
