Come And Get It

#28 on the UK albums chart - how is this not already on the list?

Yeah, the 2000s girly pop is sorely under represented on this list, and this makes for an interesting entry.

I like this user submitted list because now it’s stuff like this - some actual human’s fun favorite album. Catchy pop nothing wrong here

Random dance pop from the 00's? wtf! I was ready to put 1 star and rant about the selection... but then 'Crazy Boys' came in and.. ok, it is pretty good. 'I Will Be There' is not bad at all. Sampling The Cure on the next one? wow... OK, it is what it is... but I have to admit is much more inventive and catchy than what you normally get from the genre. Looks like Rachel was part of the band S-Club and this was her second solo record. One third and last was released -unnoticed- a few years later. A shame, she deserved better. Thanks for sharing

I do appreciate the slick pop-album from time to time. And that is exactly what this is. Will it change my world? Bring me insights into new musical realms? Trigger me emotionally? No. It doesn't do any of these things. Should it, to be enjoyable? No, it shouldn't. It is just a well done album with plenty earworms on it. Job well done.

lol it's the chick from S Club 7. Just pointless, mindless 00s dance pop. I vaguely remember thinking she was the hot one of the group. But still: fuuuuck off. This has to be a wind up. 2/5.

Never thought I would like a pop album this much! It's totally not cliché in any means. Some good beats, easy lyrics to sing along.

6/10. Very bold of a 2000's pop song to claim "I'm gonna stand the test of time". I liked this music in a nostalgic sort of way, but the album was definitely a little longer than I would have liked.

If Come and Get It was delayed for ten years, nothing would have kept me from discovering it during my college poptimism years. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it today. Though a historical shame, the fact that Stevens's discography is shallow is convenient.

Very much the example of heavily produced mainstream Pop. Which is fine but not particularly, you know, special. Can this person really sing? Did they have anything to do with these lyrics or were they written by one of these teams of Swedish savants? Not quite interesting enough to bother looking into.

Call me crazy, but I actually enjoyed this at some moments. At first I had my review already written down. But after a few songs I felt a different vibe than with her other candypop sisters. A little sophistication if you will. Long story short, sometimes there's more than meets the eye.

A fun bubblegum pop LP to mix things up a bit – ran a bit long for its melodic content, but was a mostly fun listen that was evocative of what I heard on the radio while growing up. Fun to see everyone's different tastes here, even if I don't like every single album it's much more varied and exploratory than the canon 1001 list.

It's pop music. Never heard of this artist before, most likely won't in the future. However, album was pleasant entertainment.

Not something I would normally listen to, but it's poppy and fun. Nothing wrong with that. Reminds me of Madonna. 3 stars.

It is what it is!

“The Guardian placed it on their "1000 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" list.” Yeah, ok. I find this completely soulless and manufactured. Sorry.

What if Britney Spears was named Rachel Stevens? What would that be like?

A unique pick. Not sure how its an all time greatest (I mean, other than someones favorite that made it through the list of 1001). In the vein of "Albums you must listen to" I don't feel this falls on that list. Come and get it.

Not much my taste. Prefer other club music instead

Huh. I mean, I get why someone would like this, but I'm fascinated that it would be given "must listen before you die" treatment. British popstar, I've never heard of her, and it's not necessarily bad, it's just mostly flat and plain pop. "Dumb Dumb" was actually really cool, that honestly saved this from 1-star territory for me, but other than that I'm mostly left scratching my head. That whole meme of "imagine carrying a child in your womb for 9 months to name him Hubert" or whatever, except imagine listening to 1100 albums over a span of years and getting a chance to pick one for everyone else to hear and you pick this one. On my hater shit today. Favorite tracks: Dumb Dumb, I Will Be There. Album art: Just a shot of this woman's face, about as generic as the music if you ask me. 2/5

Life has been way too depressing and serious. I needed something like this!

I was so happy to hear some catchy, dancy synth pop today! It feels like it's been forever since I've gotten to hear the like. This was new to me, as I'm not sure it made it to the US back in the day, and I really had a good time listening. Yay! Thanks!

Excellent electro pop, obviously no soul, but who cares when the Pop is this good?

Rating: 8/10 Best songs: So good, I said never again, Secret garden, Some girls, Every little thing, Dumb dumb

This was some great mid 2000s pop. One of those where I didn’t have a bunch of standout songs (except nothing good about this goodbye) but I really enjoyed my time with it from start to finish.

Yeah, okay.

Some fun 2000's pop. It's not particularly incredible for me and doesn't do a whole lot to set itself apart from its peers of the era, but it holds up well enough and is full of catchy boppin fun.

This album was not what I expected. It manages to avoid some of the pitfalls of early 2000s pop. It is a reasonable length and it manages to stay relatively interesting throughout. It’s not my favorite genre, but I’m glad to have listened to it.

Poppy pop. Poptastic selection

Post-millennial dance pop that delivers, more than you might reasonably expect it to. Catchy, well-produced, easy on the ears. Rachel Stevens lacks a certain amount charisma compared to other singers in the genre, which makes all of this less than memorable, but it's still perfectly likeable stuff that I didn't mind hearing at all. Fave Songs: Crazy Boys, I Will Be There, Secret Garden, Funny How, All About Me

Enjoyable

2005 Kylie-lite pop. Catchy, dancy, easy. Nothing to dislike here. Rating: 3 Playlist track: Funny How Date listened: 19/11/24

Reminded me faintly of a few other pop singers but the beats and tempo had me bopping on a few of them.

No

It wasn't awful but it was just there. Nothing memorable, kind of bland. Move along.

Fine disposable pop. Am sure it had the same writers as Girls Aloud/ 100 different acts from this era.

in a world with enough silly pop music this album somehow has avoided me my whole life up until now. This isn’t bad it’s just generic mid 00s pop music and I’ve heard that stuff growing up. This one was a brit pop album so that’s probably why I never heard it but I’m not going to revisit this. It’s not terrible just not for me. 4.0/10

Pop. No me gusta el pop comercial. Un 2.

Pretty formulaic synth pop. I feel like i'm listening to an album of rejects from the Shrek soundtrack.

Well that came out of left field, didn't it? Ex S Club 7 member solo album. I honestly didn't care for this much at all. It's not my thing. It wasn't dreadful but I didn't exactly hear anything super catchy which is what I expect from a pop album. Major ups for "borrowing" from The Cure's "Lullaby" but that was easily the highlight for me. I get it. This was probably a personal favorite from back in the day and the user who submitted it probably loves it wholeheartedly. I just can't feel the same.

This album represents the mid-aughts girl group turned solo artist. It's not my thing but if you're into that sort of thing, here it is.

uh, no!

I can't get Lullaby out of my head on the song 'it's all about me'. Overall it's not a very good album. These lyrics... Oh, I let you in my back door You're the one who's creeping Rough love's so deceiving ... Anyway, I like the Cheryl Cole album much more than this one. It's better than gris gris... is that saying a whole lot?
