Reviewer: 19angel91 from The Netherlands |
This album is really great!!! The best songs from the first 3 albums are on this album
too and a few new GREAT songs...
I'm a really BIG fan of Blue and I can tell you I've got all their albums and this one is the
greatest... "Love at first side" is a beautifull new song on this album. I think this one is the
best song of the album,but there are other great songs on it too. Like "Get down on it" (It's a
good song but not one of my favorites), "Curtain Falls" (Really great song ofcourse)and ofcourse
there are more great songs but you have to discover those on your own...
The only thing i'm going to say is:"Buy this album,you won't regret it!!!"
BLUE covers the whole range of music types with STYLE!!!!, July 6,

I've gotta say that I am TRULY overwhelmed by the the quality of BLUE's range - from
hip-hop to ballads...and all with true QUALITY!!
I had no idea that some of the songs were from the same group, as they were so different -
boy, these guys better not leave the music business or split up!!!!!!
Truly one of the BEST GROUPS I've ever heard!!

Reviewer: Julie Edwards from Australia |
This is such sad news to hear that the boys are splitting up. They are my fav band in the
whole wide world. I recently emigrate to Oz and one of the things I miss is Blue. I am in my 30s
and believe me they are no boy band. I think they have the staying power to be another Beatles if
they've got the balls. So guys, don't do this!!! As for the album really good however all of the
other albums are so good that I don't think there is a big need for a Best album yet... My
absolute bestest song is "girl i'll never understand" from all rise and this is not on there so
probably go back to listening to each album.

Reviewer: Eric from Banbury,England |
A truly excellent album,which shows great musical maturity for a band ,of such young
years.As boy bands go blue are a step above the rest and they appeal to young and old listeners
alike.I first saw them at party in the park 3 years ago,in Oxford,they were vibrant and full of
energy,and i knew then they would go on to great things.In the lyrics of curtain falls"together
we faced th cold outside",does that relate to one freezing cold november night 3 years ago when
they played a party in the dark gig in Banbury,all credit to them ,not many groups with a number
One single under their belts (too close) would do that.Long may they reign.

Blue Biography
Blue have proven to be the success story of 2001.
Their debut single "All Rise" entered the UK chart at No. 4, becoming a major radio hit and staying in the top
ten for five weeks. Their second single "Too Close" went on to be an even bigger hit, crashing into the chart at
No. 1 at the beginning of September. Both singles have gone silver, selling in excess of 200,000 copies. This
November they release a third single, a beautiful pop/r'n'b classic entitled "If You Come Back", followed by
their long awaited debut album "All Rise".
Blue comprises of London based lads Duncan James (22), Antony Costa (20), Lee Ryan (18) and Simon Webbe (22). The
boys got together early last year when Duncan and Antony decided to form a vocal group, enlisting Lee (whom they
had seen on the audition circuit and regarded as the best singer around) and his flatmate Simon to make up the
numbers. Vocally, the four soon realised they had something special going on, and both management and a deal with
Virgin's Innocent Records quickly followed.
Their debut album "All Rise" is a confident collection of classic r'n'b tunes that is sure to cement their
position as the hottest new act to emerge from the UK in 2001.
The album was recorded in the UK and Norway with a variety of top producers including the inimitable Stargate and
Ray Ruffin (son of Motown legend Jimmy Ruffin). The album showcases the boy's amazingly mature vocal delivery.
Tracks range from the infectious and hook laden swing of "All Rise", "Fly By" and "This Temptation", to the
heartfelt smooth grooves of "Long Time" and "Best In Me".
Duncan says: "This has been a crazy and exciting year for Blue and we're totally blown away by the success we've
had so far. We've worked really hard to produce an album that we are all proud of. All we want to do is perform
decent songs with tough grooves and soulful vocals."
Individual Biographies
Duncan 'Dunk' James
Duncan was born on 7th April 1979 and lived in Dorset with his mother until he was thirteen, when they relocated
to Sidmouth in South Devon. After studying drama for 'A' Level, Duncan realised he 'had a voice' and took his
newly discovered singing talents to holiday resorts where he performed with a spate of embryonic bands, which he
says were 'perfect for cutting your teeth on but no more than that!' Thankfully, Duncan left the world of
'average' bands when he met fellow Blue member Antony.
Antony Costa
Born on 23rd June 1981 and brought up in Middlesex and North London respectively, Antony had a very impressive CV
(for a nineteen year old) before he joined Blue. He previously had roles in Grange Hill and The Bill ('for some
reason I always seem to play the parts of cheeky little thugs!') and played the lead in the hit BBC sitcom Chalk.
Although Antony had a natural singing voice, he had never deemed it a serious career option until he met
Duncan.
Lee Ryan
Lee, the youngster of the band was born on 17th June 1983 and is a South East London boy. Brought up in
Blackheath, he studied at drama school, but hated his teachers, 'They're always trying to steer you towards West
End musicals - and the last thing I wanna do is some cheesy big band number!' Having decided this, Lee began to
attend auditions and after bit parts in Holby City, met Duncan and the others.
Simon Solo Webbe
Simon, the oldest of the band, was born on 30th March 1979 in Manchester. For years, Simon had his heart set on
being a professional footballer and was signed to Port Vale, before being poached by Stoke City. This was after
he'd been approached by Derby County, Birmingham City, Liverpool and Shrewsbury Town. Musically, Simon had
occasionally rapped with Birmingham-based hip hop group 'Criminal Damage', before he eventually decided to quit
the football industry and move down to London to join Blue. Source: http://www.officialblue.com/
