You Promised You Would Release it in the US!! August 31, 2005

After about seven years in the spotlight, it is apparent that the A-Teens are taking a much needed vacation, leaving us with 16 tracks to ease our eagerly anticipated next album (that's if they will get back together. Cross your fingers!) No matter, this is still a very enjoyable greatest hits compilation, even if it wasn't released in the U.S.
1. Mamma Mia - It was the A-Teens first No.1 hit in Sweden and I can see why. It is a great cover of Abba's hit, pepped up with more dance beats! (5/5)
2. Upside Down - Why we call it 'Bouncing off the Cieling' I will never know. But it is one of A-Teens biggest hits in the U.S.! (Hitting No.12) I believe! Of course it was their first No.1 hit single in Sweden that wasn't a cover! (5/5)
3. Gimme Gimme Gimme - For some reason, I prefer the video version of this song. It has better dance beats and has a darker feeling. This version is ok as well. Another cover and good dance song. (4/5)
4. Floorfiller - Hit No.5 in Sweden and it's a great dance track! Love the part when Dhani says, "Hands swinging high like a chopper in the sky!" (5/5)
5. Dancing Queen - I am with everyone else when they say that by the time they put this on a compilation, it has gotten tiresome. Doesn't sound like their other ABBA covers, sounds more Britney than anything. (3/5)
6. Perfect Match - This is so much better than the album version. The radio version has more of a rock edge with better beats. Hit No.2 in Sweden! (5/5)
7. ...To The Music - This was a single?! Apparently it was only released in the U.S. and I think "For All That I Am" should have been released before this. An ok-song, nothing spectacular. (3/5)
8. Halfway Around the World - So bouncy and so fun to listen to! This is a definate favorite and was huge on Disney and Nick. Music video is also very fun to watch. (5/5)
9. Sugar Rush - Ok no matter if this is Dreamstreet's or A-Teens, the song is still lame no matter what. A-Teens has a nice mellow version though with good harmonies. (3/5)
10. Super Trouper - Another No.2 hit for them. I love the bridge of the song! It is so awesome. I don't know why people think this is such a bad song. (4/5)
11. Heartbreak Lullaby - The ballad version is ok, but the Ray Hedges version is SO much better and should have been put on here!!! Still, nice vocals. (4/5)
12. Can't Help Falling In Love - Such an awesome song and an international hit! Yes, its a cover but who cares?! Sounds better than ever! (5/5)
13. Let Your Heart Do All The Talking - I honestly don't know why this on here - was this a single? If anything, "Closer To Perfection" should have been taken from New Arrival/Pop Til You Drop. Not this. (3/5)
14. The Final Cut - Great song written by two members of the group! Defiately a slower song and its kinda depressing. But nonetheless, a good song. (4/5)
15. With Or Without You - Another great new song written by the group! People complain that the song lacks beats, but if you want songs cluttered with manufactured music, there's Britney for that! (4/5)
16. I Promised Myself - Hands down their best single!!! The Attic Remix is so awesome! And the video is great too! Yet again another cover, but hit No.2 in Sweden! EAR CANDY! (10/5)
All in all, it's a great album and should have been released in the U.S.! The question now is will they get back together.
very good January 12, 2005

The A*teens Greatest Hits July 26, 2004
C. Leavitt (USA)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This compact disc is a compilation of the A*teens greatest hits. The first 13 songs are from their "Abba Generation", "Teen Spirit", and "Pop 'Til You Drop" cds. The are great songs and represent the A*teens musical style, which I would describe as funky, upbeat, European pop music. There are 3 new songs at the end: "The Final Cut", "With or Without You", and "I Promised Myself". "The Final Cut" is funkier and "With or Without You" represents the style of alot of their other songs. "I Promised Myself" is very Euro-pop. The music video is cool - you can check it out at the A*teens official website:
http://www.a-teens.com. Amazon's price of $30.99 is a rip-off. I know the cd is imported, so that jacks the price up. If you don't want to spend that much, check into some of Amazon's other venders that give you a new one for a cheaper price. E-bay is a good deal as well, some of the venders offer the cd for under $10 (excluding shipping and handling). I already had the other cds and I just wanted the three new songs, so Amazon's price was too high for me. I just got it from one of the above mentioned venders of Amazon. This cd is great for any true A*teens fan.
this is an excellent album the A-Teens have grown up July 7, 2004

I describe the A-Teens (Sara, Amit, Dhani, and Marie) music as super-pop, because they are really from Sweden and do not just use Swedish producers( britney, backstreet, n'sync)This album features the many hits of the A-Teens most notably Dancing Queen, the single that brought them fame around the world and Can't Help Falling In Love, featured in the movie Lilo & Stitch, another international smash hit, and I Promised Myself the current single 1. Mamma Mia 9/10 my 2nd favorite Abba cover by the A-Teens
2. Upside Down 8/10
3. Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight) 7/10
4. Floorfiller 8/10
5. Dancing Queen 10/10 I love the A-Teens version of this song!!
6. Perfect Match 10/10 this is the better single version 7. To The Music 10/10 one of their best songs ever
8. Halfway Around The World 10/10 one of their best dance tracks, it tells a soothing story of being "halfway around the world" from someone you love and knowing one day you'll be together again. 9. Sugar Rush - A beautiful song, I also recommend seeing the video for it also 10/10 10. Super Trouper 7/10
11. Heartbreak Lullaby 10/10 another beautiful ballad only on the German release of The Princess Diaries soundtrack
12. Can't Help Falling In Love 10/10 the A-Teens did an excellent cover of this classis Elvis song 13. Let Your Heart Do All The Talking 9/10 9 only because the single version should've been featured 14. Final Cut 10/10 the best out of the two new tracks written by the A-Teens 15. With Our Without You 10/10 I'm not too fond of the intro but the song is awesome, a really good tune, Amit and Sara wrote the song 16. I Promised Myself - 10/10 The single off the greatest hits, it's a great song and the A-Teens brought a new twist to it. I also recommend the I Promised Myself single, the attic remixes are really good All four of them can dance better than britney and n'snyc and can sing a lot better too.
We wish them luck with their new solo projects. This is a good introduction to the A-Teens but I highly suggest their 2nd album Teen Spirit and their 4th New Arrival, two of their best albums.

This is definitely a great album. In my opinion, the tracks here (including three new ones) are the best. Three new tracks: The Final Cut, With or Without You, and I Promise Myself are outstanding. My favourite is definitely I PROMISE MYSELF.
