Girls Aloud: The Sound of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits (Limited Edition Bonus Disc) Mini-Album Review

 Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I did a review and I thought I'd do a little mini review. It's obvious that I'm a huge fan of Girls Aloud and that I'm annoyed that they broke up last year. I already did a review of the original version of "The Sound of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits" so today I'm doing a mini review of the limited edition bonus disk which included different versions of songs as well as unreleased songs from the group. Here's my track by track review:

1) No Good Advice (Explicit Version): This version is nearly identical to the original version of the song. The only difference is the line "shut mouth because it might show" is changed to "shut your mouth because your s*** might show." The song's still good though. 10/10

2) Wake Me Up (Alternate Version): The whole first verse is different. The lyrics are different from the original and Cheryl sings more of the first verse than Sarah, whereas on the version that was released it's the other way around. 10/10

3) I Predict a Riot (Live from Wembley): This song is a cover, originally performed by "Kaiser Chiefs", that the group performed on their "Chemistry Tour". This song was also put on the "St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold Soundtrack" for the film which Sarah stared in. I find the track to be kinda boring. 5/10

4) Sound of The Underground (Extended Version): "Sound of The Underground" is my favorite song from the group and I was curious how the extended version would sound. There isn't much of a difference except for a new guitar part added after the chorus is sung the second time. Either way I still love the song. 10/10

5) Hanging on the Telephone: Another cover song. This song was originally recorded by Blondie. While I give the band credit for taking a risk by covering Blondie, I not really into their version of the song. 5/10

6) Loving Is Easy: This song was b-side for the single, "Wake Me Up". It's a little different from their stuff and it's still growing on me. 5/10

7) Singapore: This song is an unreleased song from the group's third album, "Chemistry". Why it wasn't on the album, I 'll never know. It should've been though since it's better than most of the stuff on that album. It's an amazing somewhat uptempo ballad. I really like it. 10/10

8) Sacred Trust: Yes, Girls Aloud released their own version of this song. This song was sung by "One True Voice" who competed against Girls Aloud for the Christmas number one with this song but Girls Aloud won with "Sound of The Underground". Nadine sings lead on this song and while her voice is amazing, as always, I don't really like it. 5/10


My favorite songs on this are: "Singapore", "Sound of The Underground (Extended Version), "Wake Me Up (Alternate Version), and "No Good Advice (Explicit Version). Out of 80 points I give the album 60 points which is 75%, a C+. I know this review was short and I promise I'll do a longer review later this month. Thank you for reading!
