"This Cd is one of the best Cds I've bought in a long, long time! These girls can REALLY sing and they also wrote most of the songs. Its refreshing from all the other manufactured girl acts out there. They are the real deal! The song I WAS ONLY SEVENTEEN is so beautiful and emotional. It gave me chills the first time I heard it. They have great uptempo songs too. Their harmony is amazing. You can't be that much in sync unless you grew up with eachother. Its one of the few Cd I've bought lately that I don't skip around finding songs I like. All the songs are great! I HIGHLY recommend this."

"I found this CD in my local library and took it out on a whim. I had never heard of the band.
I'm very glad I borrowed it!!
From their opening cover of "I was only (seventeen)" to "Emily" these girls have created a fantastic collection of music.
My favorite songs are "Stop! Stay away from my Sister" for its dead on accuracy (as anyone in a family of sisters can relate to!), fun lyrics and splashy arrangement and "Emily" for its sheer beauty and melody of the girls' voices.
But really, there isnt a bad song on the whole cd. It's a collection of songs with beautiful lyrics, fun vocals and a youthful totally *not* overproduced feel to it.
If you get a chance, take a listen and enjoy! Kudos to these talented young women and a sincere hope for future additions to their song catalogue!!"
BUY THIS CD!!!!!

"This album is one of those must have alubms.
The songs are meaningful, touching, and inspiring. There's an honesty in their lyrics that I find very refreshing.
It's one of my favorite albums, and it's always in my CD case to take to work.
Definitely worth the money to buy the whole CD!"
I've never heard anything like this

"I bought this CD about two years ago, and still marvel when I listen to it. These girls are amazing. I'm so glad I heard I Was Only Seventeen on the radio and fell in love, because the rest of the CD is also jaw-droppingly wonderful, featuring the strong, soulful voices, precise harmonies, and contagious melodies of these four sisters. There's something for everyone on this disc (with the exception of hard-core rap fans and country western fans, who should not be on this page at all), whether it's heart-rending ballads like Crush, sunny love songs like Once Upon a Broken Heart, extremely upbeat numbers like Catch Me If You Can, or contemplative mid-tempos such as Decisions, the title track. The only song I find myself skipping occasionally is Livin' Ain't Easy, which doesn't have quite the shine as the others, but does nothing to dim my amazement at the efforts of this phenomenal group."
