Amazon.co.uk Review
It seems like only yesterday when those fresh-faced bad-boys burst into the charts with their angst-filled pop anthem "Slam Dunk Da Funk" -- four years later they are no more, and so follows the inevitable IGreatest Hits/I collection. Back in 1998, it wasn't until the laid-back third single "Got the Feelin'" hit the top three that the boys released their self-titled debut and propelled themselves into pop superstardom. From then followed a host of pop classics borrowing from rock, rap, soul and dance--giving the boys three number ones with "Keep on Movin'", "We Will Rock You" (from IInvincible/I) and "Let's Dance" (from IKingsize/I). Always pitching themselves as the antithesis of "wet" boy bands, their IGreatest Hits/I is a touch light on the ballad side of things. However, the delicate "Until the Time Is Through" and the poignant "Closer to Me" do raise a smile (and a tear) or two, but for the best part it's fists in the air, hard-rocking, good-time pop. --IDavid Trueman/I

 great album for those who enjoy a dance around their bedroom December 10, 2001
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I decided to buy this album when I saw the songs on it that I recognised from my nights out clubbing, I was amazed at how good it was and although I was never a huge fan of the group, I was astounded with the calibre of their music in such a relatively short period of time. Definately one to dance around your bedroom to as you get ready to go out.

It is great to have all my favorites on one CD, I recieved it for Holiday's from my niece. And will treasure this since it is probable the last one we will be hearing. But I enjoyed it very much. You can hear how there musical style and talent have matured over the years.A definate to add to your collection. brKaren
All the amazing tracks from one amazing band! March 15, 2002
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Five were a band who will allways be remembered for changing the way we see Boybands. they didnt mime, sit on stools or wear matchin outfits. instead they sang rocky songs and had very few ballads. brthis album summarizies the work of this amazing band from classics like We will Rock You and Slam Dunk da Funk to softer ballads like the gorgeous Until the Time is Through. this album also contains 3 new tracks! Set me Free a poppy song with Ritchie and Scott on leads, When I Remember When also has Ritchie and Scott on leads and the amazing remix of Keep on movin.pthis is a must have CD!
All 5ive's hits on one albumn. . . what more could you ask? November 21, 2001
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is an excellent albumn compiling all five's songs together at last. With their recent split this has to be a must-have item as there will be no more songs to come. The only flaw i could find on this cd was Keep on Movin. A formerly great song was ruined with the addition of football commentry in the verses. This was made up for however by the superb standard of the rest of the tracks, especially the bonus number 18 which was a ten minute compilation containing a small section of each of five's greatest hits. I thought this was a nice touch which made this cd even more worthwhile.brAll I can say to any fan of five is go out and buy it, you wont be dissapointed and its definitely worth the money.
Five go out with a bang September 17, 2003

I was (and still am) a MASSIVE Five fan, possibly the biggest NZ fan of them EVER. I went to see them live in 2000, and they rocked. They sadly split up in September 2001 - and only Abs has done a solo career since then. But Five were the UK's greatest boyband (but Blue have done quite well), and their career lasted for a massive five years - 1997 to 2001. This CD contains all their greatest hits, all their singles, and a few never released before songs, which are great. I will review my favourite tracks from this CD:p3. If Ya Gettin' Down (5/5)brThe first single released from the Invincible album in 1999. This is really funky, I love the chorus, they repeat the word 'baby' at the end of each sentence. J and Abs are on lead vocals - this is one of Five's best singles. The video is the guys dancing with loads of dancers in a warehouse.br5. Let's Dance (Radio Edit) (5/5)brLove this. This was their second to last single, the first from the Kingsize album. It was their second No.1 single, too (Keep On Movin' was the first) in 2001. I love this! It's so catchy, I can't help singing everytime I hear it. The video is hilarious - Sean is a cardboard cutout because he was sick when they made it. br7. Got The Feelin' (4.5/5)brThe third single the boys released, back in 1998. This is really happy, I love the 'na na na' part, and the chorus. The video is the boys at a pool party, they all get thrown into the pool at the end.br8. When The Lights Go Out (5/5)brTheir second single released in 1998. This is really funky - I love Abs' talking at the beginning, and all the boys get a chance to sing in this song. The chorus is catchy too. The video is cool - this girl sits in a chair and she can see the guys in their own special parts.br9. Closer To Me (5/5)brThe last single ever released by the guys (along with "Rock The Party"), this is a beautiful ballad with heartfelt lyrics. Scott, Abs, J and Ritchie all sing on this, and they have fantastic vocals on this. Ritchie sounds the best (but maybe that's because I love him), and the chorus is fab. The video is touching - it's a look back through Five's career, with loads of unseen footage.br10. Until The Time Is Through (5/5)brAnother gorgeous ballad - this was their fifth single in 1999. I love this song - Ritchie and Scott are on lead vocals, and it sounds great. The video is my fave Five video - it's set in this massive old house, and Ritchie's girlfriend cheated on him, so he's singing about it.p13. It's The Things You Do (5/5)brMY FAVOURITE FIVE SONG EVER! Ahem, sorry I overeacted. But this is honestly my fave. I love it so much. It was an American single in 1998, and I love both versions (European and American). It has really sexy lyrics and great vocals.br14. When I Remember When (5/5)brAnother heartfelt ballad, with fantastic vocals from Scott and Ritchie (they do ballads soooo well). This has to be one of the best Five ballads there is.br16. Set Me Free (5/5)brThis song is so funky! I love it. I love Ritchie's vocals in the two verses, and Scott in the middle 8. The chorus is also really catchy.br18. Five Megamix (5/5)brThis is brilliant! It's all Five's hit singles mixed into a ten minute song, that ends with a new version of "Keep On Movin", Five's biggest hit. Simply amazing.pOverall, Five have had 11 hit singles, three hit albums, one huge world tour and millions of fans the world over. They were a fantastic group, and I'll miss them so much (especially Ritchie).
