"This album was and still is a great debut for a group...it's in your face lyrics ....they were dubbed the edge and the hard guys in pop..Five debuted with this brilliant album way back in 1998. Five were, and always will be the best boy band ever and they leave behind 4 great albums. Stand out tracks on this CD are:
When the lights go out
slam dunk da funk
it's teh things you do
everybody get up
my song
this is a great album all put together...."

This album was and still is funky for a boy band!

"I liked FIve's album! I'd still get it now because it was so in your face! I heard When the Lights go Out again this past summer and it still sounds good. I thought that Max Martin was able to produce some very funky songs here, even if he had hits with Backstreet and NSYNC and Britney Spears' album hadn't even come out. The others by Cutfather and Joe, Lever and Percy, Richard Stannard and others were also good. There's more of a rock thing on this one versus the pop feel of their rivals, lots of guitar. Slam Dunk, the funky It's the Things you Do, the Joan Jett-sounding Get Up!, the phone number song, and the rest of the album is just as superb. Only Satified is the weak cut here--doesn't really grab me. Five had a very unique, edgy debut album that still holds up today with its catchy grooves and hooks!"

"Was the jam back in the day...in the day that revolved around Brintey Spears and Justin Timberlake! This was the jam. I loved this song, as did everyone I know until we all graduated to the higher class of music consisting of DMX and Twista for some of us and then there was OTEP and Simon Says for the others, and yet there are some of us who will listen to everything from bubble gum pop as you may call it to thrashing metal...anyways, for what it was, this album dropped and was huge and yes, I'll admit it, I LOVED IT!! So I was surfing this site as always and there is was and so I just had to say that this was a great album with a great song that I just loved to listen to and dance to and sing to when I was 13..and now...not so much, but it brings fond memories to the table."
