Advantages: Great songs and production. Great if you love pop music too!

Disadvantages: Could have done without the End and Intro songs, abit pointless!

This is a brilliant collection of songs if you like electro influenced pop music like me. Being a member of a site called Popjustice, i was drawn to this instantly especially since Richard X worked on Rachel Steven's Some Girls which was a massive hit and Being Nobody by Liberty X which also was another fave of mine. I think this a superb collection of songs and i think Richard X really shows his originality across every song in this and his superb songwriting and melodic talent to write superb pop songs.

I think Being Nobody is easily a great song and it did a lot for Liberty X's street cred let me put it that way! - Javine shows her versatility and originality on this record with a great song. I think Annie shows why she really is one of those great talents who like Alexis Strum will never get signed! It's scary how big Kelis is now but at this time she wern't so massive. Jarvis Cocker does a great job here too and how the hell could we forget that brilliant Sugababes Freak Like Me record.

The production is snazzy, futuristic and original. The choice of artists reflects really well what Richard X is about - i.e making great pop music that only Xenomenia could only really compete with. I was drawn to this record and having the word X Factor must help him abit up on the Google and Amazon search results i would persume. I think even artists i hadn't heard of sounded great such as Deborah Evans and Tiga. Mark Goodier Track 12, is a really hmmm interesting track that you couldnt get away with on any other record.

In every sense of the word, Richard X should be as huge as Mark Ronson but he isn't because it's not so cool to like electro pop music and sadly most artists in this album who was signed at the time of the release is no longer signed and been dropped due to poor sales - namely Annie, Javine and Liberty X!!but we still have Kelis and Sugababes may i add.

Oh! Great Britiain why don't you like pop songs other from Take That, Girls Aloud or Lilly Allen? There's a world to explore and i think you'll easily find this quite cheap to buy as not many bought it.

Summary: If you like pop music, you'll love this! ;)
