Amazon.co.uk Review
However, despite this and some nifty Sixties all-girl influences (particularly lead single "On My Knees" – a catchy, ghostly thing) the girls have a definite hip-hop edge too. It's an interesting mix that, for the most part, works. It's not particularly deep stuff though--"Dumb", for instance, tracks the thought of a potential affair, before concluding that it would be "dumb", with a chorus that stutters the word to little melodic effect. That said, this is a global sound from a talented bunch of London girls. --Ben Johncock

Customer Reviews
Tipped to be the British 'Destinys Child', The 411 offers a selection of hits which will both appeal to their fans and also appeal to more mature RnB/Pop lovers.
By all means go and buy this album if you were impressed by the sample singles already released!
Checking out the videos to their singles, the black and white video to "Teardrops" was not quite abysmal, but getting there. This kind of psuedo arty pretentiousness would hardly have worked with a very successful and established act, but was a disaster for an act still starting out, in the sense that it takes a while before anyone can be said to have truly 'arrived'. The video to "On My Knees" was watchable and worthwhile, but the video to "Dumb" was absolutely superb, one of the best videos I have seen, ever! It showed off to perfection what a class act they were and the potential showed by them in that video was enormous. The video bears watching over and over again and you would not easily tire of it, and there's not many videos you can say that about. (Another great video is the one to "1 Thing" by Amerie, but this suprasses even that). Pure glamour and class. If they had concentrated on more in this vein, then they may have been around still.
The hilights are the three singles, China Girl, Chance, I Don;t Want To Talk About It, and Can't Fight Love.
Chance is a lot like Dumb - uptempo dancey number, reminds me a bit of Atomic Kitten - B With You
China Girl is the most meaningful track on the album, and samples Asian music - very different from anything else I have heard before, I hope this becomes a single.
I Don;t Want To Talk About It in a way is similar to On My Knees, it's a slowish tempo track with a guest appearance from a rapper.
Can't Fight Love is a nice little ballad, tells a storey in a similar way to Sugababes - Caught In A Moment.
All the other tracks are also excellent, Jumpin has a raggae feel to it, My Friend, deals with drug addiction and Domestic Violence.
There's something for everyone on this album,, the only complaint I have is that it doesn;t have any more tracks, The 411 girls deserve a really good chart position with this album and unlike other female groups have writing credits for every track on the album. Also unlike other groups (with the exception of Sugababes and may=ybe Mis-Teeq) they are not afraid to work with different sounds - leaving you with one of the most varied and one of the best albums that has been released so far this year. Girls Aloud may be teh pop group of teh year, but The 411 deserve to be the British R&B act of the year, and have filled the hole left by the separture of All Saints - something other acts such as Smoke2Seven and Sirens have been dubbed before - only for them to disappear off the face of the earth (In the Siren's case it's justified as they are that bad and uninteresting).
Well done girls, amd hopefully here's to your second album!!
It is amazing! Every track is good, no filler at all.
2. Teardrops 7/10
3.China Girl 10/10 A original sexy song!
4. Chance 10/10 My favourite song!!
