The Saturdays' 'Wordshaker': a first-impressions sort of review

  • September 23, 2009
  • Popjustice

We got The Saturdays' new album 'Wordshaker' sent over yesterday, and while listening to it we gave each song a star rating in iTunes. 

Please don't consider this a defin­it­ive review — scores may go up as well as down over the coming weeks — but as a first impres­sion this averages out as a just-under-four-star album. It's yet to totally click, a couple of songs try a little too hard while others don't try quite hard enough, but this is all the sort of stuff that begins to make sense over repeated listens.

Give us a poke in a week or so and we'll add some further thoughts.
