Product description Initially lumped in with Westlife, Boyzone, etc., as just another fabricated pop boy group, Five were one of the few bands who actually did stand out from the crowd. Eschewing soppy love songs in favor of far more in-your-face rowdy pop, Five bounced onto the scene with attitude, slightly more streetwise styling than their contemporaries, and some truly great pop tunes. From the inspired sampling of Joan Jett's "I Love Rock & Roll" on "Everybody Get Up" to the sing-along-and-clap-your-hands party vibes of "Got the Feelin'," it's hard not to be seduced by Five's charm. Things do go a bit Backstreet Boys on weaker tracks like "Until the Time Is Through" and "Satisfied," but these are forgivable blips on an otherwise stellar trajectory. The opening line of "Slam Dunk (Da Funk)" says it all: Five have "the power to rock you. .com Initially lumped in with Westlife, Boyzone, etc., as just another fabricated pop boy group, Five were one of the few bands who actually did stand out from the crowd.

Love their music
I heard the group when they first came out in 1998 and their songs are very edgy and funky, They are different from other boy bands and that's a good thing. It's the things you do is my favorite but I also like Slam Dunk Da Funk just a catchy song, the beats are great. Even now 20 years later their song I still play them on my iPhone.

Five's First Album
This is Uk boy band Five's first album a unique combination of pop and rap that is still as fresh today as it was 23 years ago. My favorite songs off the album are: It's The Things You Do, Until The Time Is Through, and My Song! Buy This I don't think you'll be sorry!!

Awesome!
I've been to several 5 By Design concerts and this CD is but a glimpse into their incredible talent. 5 by Design puts so much love into these songs that it is impossible to believe that you are anywhere but in the '40s listening to them on the radio. Even if you didn't live through this era, you should buy the CD to experience what you missed.

Review of Five by Design's Radio Days with the Utah Symphony
The Five by Design's Radio Days with the Utah Symphony record is generally quite good!I've been following Five by Design for some time and the music on the CD is not available on othe recordings.The quality of the recording is not the best but I overlook it in lieu of the great music.

SO ALIVE TO LISTEN TO A RECORD LIKE THIS.
SO ALIVE TO LISTEN TO A RECORD LIKE THIS. ALTHOUGH 5IVE DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE-JUST LIKE ALL THE BOY BANDS AT THAT TIME. HOWEVER, WHEN WE LOOK BACK, THEY REMAIN FRESH IN STYLE AND WORKS, AND SHOW A DIRECTION TO AUDIENCES' NEEDS AND TASTES.

Five Stars
5ive stars. Yeah, I went there. Bought this as a throw back to remember the good old days before my mortgage and bills. Funny how I still remember almost every word, funny or sad - not quite made my mind up! Happy with the purchase though :)
