Oops! Want more Bubbles? Oh yes. This album has seen (heard?) relatively little play, despite being rather good. Now we'll fix that. I've preliminarly decided that multiple CDs will be additionally graded separately but this one is more like "1½ CD", so I guess I should give only a single grade.

#1 Excited 9

What's the other song where they say "I get so excited / I just can't hide it"? Something classic? Funny that they've borrowed the lines. Or is the original called "I'm so excited"? I think it is.

#2 What's Done Is Done

Interesting almost r'n'b setting.

#3 Round 'n' Round 10

Oh wonders, their best song.

#4 Crazy

Their sound has evolved from the first album but, unlike usually, it's not necessarily a bad thing. They just sound different, that's it.

#5 Somewhere 9

This sounds so familiar that I must've heard this a lot. But why?

#6 Fall in Love 8

This album seems to suffer from what I might call the "Bubbles Syndrome", meaning that the first few tracks have become familiar and the rest been forgotten. The spoken part is way reminiscent of I Have a Dream, even though the song itself is very different.

#7 Rock the World

Oh my Ace of Base. They've robbed the samples from All That She Wants and Travel to Romantis and thrown them together. And why does this song have to be everywhere? Granted, it's not very bad but not one of the best, either.

#8 The Only Way Is Up

This failed to create much of a reaction.

#9 Get Down 9

Totally unknown but not for long. Nice beat makes a good album track.

#10 You

Okay, now they've broken into A*Teens' sample library for a change.

#11 Save Me 7

Generic filler.

#1 Rock the World 9

And once again. But oh, this is probably the best version?

#2 Somewhere 9

How is this different from the other version? Maybe a bit remixier.

#3 What's Done Is Done

This doesn't have much difference, either.

#4 Fall in Love 8

This has some more atmospheric samples.

#5 Excited 9

More electronic.

#6 Crazy

More whatever.
