This is a fantastically mature debut album from young chart toppers Blue. It has an r'n'b/soul/pop feel which is very listenable and catchy. There are a few "Westlife-y" tracks, such as Long Time, Girl I'll Never Understand, and Best in Me, but also some real upbeat ones like Back to You. My personal favourite (apart from All Rise!) is Make it Happen - I'm constantly humming it to myself. I don't know how they manage to sing Too Close without their ears burning, but the other songs aren't quite so sexy! There's a lot of lyrics which could be taken two ways, and the lyrics are generally quite deep but not difficult to remember. Simon's rapping is excellent - I love the offbeat groove on Fly By. All in all, it's an excellent album, and I'd recommend it to anyone who's liked any of the singles because there's some of everything on here.

The first album from British boy band blue. This is a soul full mixture of pop and R 'n' B and suits many different peoples taste of music. Whereas many albums have songs which should be skipped Blues "all rise" album is entertaining and pleasent to listen to. This album proves that this band are not just a one hit wonder but have the talent to carry this on for a long time. They have created thier own sound proven by this album. With something for everyone, this album is perfect for all ages. Blue truely know what the people want and give it to the public through the album. This is a must for averyone!!!

After loving the first two singles released, I decided to invest in the album. It certainly is fresh, funky, unashamed pop, although there are obvious strong r&b influences. In my view there is possibly one too many of the overdone 'classical guitar with vocal gymnastics' slushy songs, but this is a minor criticism which is easily overcome by the strong vocals and writing accompanied by fantastic production.
Outstanding tracks are 'Bounce', 'Back To You' with its pure vocal power, and 'Long Time', which incorporates brilliant vocal harmonies.
All in all, a damn good first album! Well worth a listen, but be warned...all the songs are as catchy as 'All Rise'!

Blue - All Rise
This will appeal if you follow so called "chart music". If your aged between 10-15 this is a must buy. If you have a flying interest in music it may bring a cheeky smile. Read more

Awesome debut single!!!!!
If you're a fan of R&B and pop, then this single is for you. The song has a blues kind of feel to it with a harmonic playing in the background. It has a very dancable bit. Read more
