All girl, all singing and all dancing quartet Shaz, Mel, Nic and Nat's debut album could easily be repackaged today as a Greatest Hits collection. This is no bad thing. It features six of the sassy ladeez hit singles "Never Ever", "Bootie Call", "I Know Where It's At", "Under the Bridge", "Lady Marmalade" and "War of Nerves". The girls fuse all the best bits from swing, soul and disco, flex their vocal chords and chorus flawless harmonies to deliver perfect pop songs, with production from Nellee Hooper (Bjork/ Madonna/ Soul II Soul), Cameron McVey (Neneh Cherry/ Massive Attack) and UK R&B stalwart Karl 'KG' Gordon. From the band's finest hour (the Shangri-Las-esque talking at the beginning of "Never Ever") to the sheer dirtiness of Shaznay's laugh on "Beg", All Saints is a bag of finger clickin' pop hits. --Ronita Dutta

The thinking person's Spice Girls? Well, sort of. This eye-catching quartet bears a surface similarity to their British homegirls, but upon closer inspection, the differences start to reveal themselves. The dance floors that spawned All Saints were decidedly less pristine, definitely more prone to being funk-filled, as evidenced by torrid tunes like "I Know Where It's At" and a cover of Labelle's lusty classic "Lady Marmalade." Not that parental guidance is necessary for a trip past the disc's velvet rope. All Saints never stoop to tawdry antics. Rather, they exude the kind of spirited self-confidence--echoed in the tough hip-hop-tinged backing tracks--that gives feeling good a good name. --David Sprague END
