Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The second album from Atomic Kitten is a mixed bag of good and bad. The good thing about Feels So Good is a varied selection of well crafted songs from a respected group of writers whose credits include hits for Kylie and All Saints to name but two. The downside is their obvious shift to middle-of-the-road, adult-orientated "soft-pop" inspired by the reaction to their uber-ballad "Whole Again".
Having made it to number one, their cover of "The Tide Is High" (a song made famous by Blondie) can't be argued with. But compared to the original it remains decidedly flat, lacking the punch that made the earlier version a timeless classic. The album's high point is most definitely the title track, written for the Kittens by none other than Kylie Minogue; it is typical pop-diva material with a disco class and fat rhythm section that will undoubtedly make it a camp anthem for the latter half of 2002. If you had to predict a Radio Two hit it could well be the mid-tempo, faux-80s ballad "Love Doesn't Have To Hurt". With its soft and cuddly acoustic guitar and so-happy-to-be-in-love type of chorus it could well be a strong contender for post-Christmas number one. To summarise the album, none of it's bad, but not much is great either…just somewhere in the middle. --David Trueman

Atomic Kittens new album:Feels So good is a lovely 2nd album, really catchy tunes and should be a nice collection for any Atomic Kitten Fan,their cover of Blondies song A Tide is High is sung wonderfuly by the Kittens, they should be proud of their 2nd album.I really recommend this album to anyone as it is definately value for money and you will be glad you got it,There are some disco type songs that you can easily bop to and have a dance.
My favourite songs are:Tide is High,Walking on Water,Its Ok,None loves you(Like I love you), The last goodbye

I was worried this album would be too much kitten (soft, ballad-type tracks) and not enough atomic (throbbing disco beats) after listening to their recent single releases.
It would be hardly surprising if that were the case, as it was "Whole Again" which kick started their commercial success, and to a large degree they have certainly gone down that route with this, their second album. There are several slow ballads ("No-one Loves You", "Love Doesn't Have To Hurt") and many mid-tempo tracks ("Walking on the Water", "The Last Goodbye") which are actually all very good, but thank goodness they put in a few more livelier ones too to show that they are not going to stop producing songs of the fabulous "Right Now" Mould.
The highlights are definitely "Softer The Touch", which really should have been the next single, "So Hot", "Love Won't Wait" and the title track, "Feels So Good".
Overall, its a good album and definitely a good buy, but you probably wont spin it so many times as their classic first album, which had a lot more attitude. Let's hope they get back to their disco bunny ways in the singles chart soon.

A lot has changed since Atomic Kitten released their debut album 'Right Now' two years ago, but thankfully the quality of the music has just got better! 'Feels So Good' is the first album with new member Jenny Frost, and she has certainly made her mark, writing two tracks - the Kylie-esque 'So Hot' and 80's jaunt 'Baby Don't You Hurt Me'. The Kylie comparisions don't stop there, as the album title track is written by none other than the Pop Princess herself! If that's not enough, the Bangles, who originally performed the Kittens' massive #1 hit 'Eternal Flame', have written sultry ballad 'Love Doesn't Have To Hurt' for this album! Liz and Tash have also penned songs for this album, which proves that the Kittens have matured not only in their image and sound, but also in their creativity. Both smash hit singles are here - the gloriously uplifting 'It's OK!' and the #1 'The Tide Is High (Get The Feeling)', a reworking of the Blondie classic. Forthcoming single 'Walking On The Water' is reminiscent of the Kittens' worldwide #1 'Whole Again', while disco stormer 'Love Won't Wait' brings back memories of Kitten classics 'Right Now' and 'I Want Your Love'. No Kitten album would be complete without the trademark Kitten ballad - and 'Feels So Good' has it's fair share! 'The Last Goodbye' and 'No One Loves You (Like I Love You)' tug at the heart-strings with their powerful vocals and touching lyrics. Overall, this album is a strong progression from 'Right Now', but still contains all the elements that make for a purr-fect pop album! A must-have!

Their fans deserve a lot more effort than this

An album that’s very weak in every way. When their Saving Grace, ‘Whole Again’ was released this was the band that we began to rave about. Read more
