S.O.S.

Great items price and services

...I mean, really...this CD is Phenominal and one of the best works of the 90's. Unfortunatly, during all the hype of Aaliyah's death (Note: I am still a fan of hers so i'm not trying to be mean), we seemed to over looked the death of the most Powerful vocalist of the 90's in the World, Melanie Thornton (who sadly died in a plane crash on November 24th,2001): Hands Down. She really blurt out those notes with passion and emotion, like she loved what she did and wanted to make that known to us. This Album itself does not flow together as well as "Sweet Dreams" does, but it is still one that should've got more regocnition then it did."You Won't Forget Me" ~ Their first single which was as far as I know the only one released in the US. Unfortunatly It was overlooked and they never play it much if not at all anymore. A nice, fun and danceable number which even has a hint of "Tonight is the Night" from when she was Le Click. (4.5/5)"Unexpected Lovers" ~ An okay duet with Lane, but could be considered Filler. It's kind of a Tango-ish style but it's hard to describe. (3.5/5)"S.O.S." ~ Their second single released in Europe. Has a fun Beat to it while Lane gives us the signals of the morsecode Save Our Ship. Great beats and catchy vocals give this one (5.5)."A Moment of Love" ~ Their third single released in Europe but should've been released in USA. Beautiful melodies, lyrics and vocals from Melanie give us a terrific medium speed song with a hint of balladry. Should've been more popular then it was. (5/5)"Whenever You Want" ~ Another Duet with Melanie and Lane. I love how they have much more collaboration singing-wise in theis album then in "Sweet Dreams." But still an okay number. (3.5/5)"I Can't Stand The Rain" ~ A Re-make from an 80's hit, I don't remember the orginal so I can't grade it off of that one. Melanie adds to to Lane's rapping in this one, and with hip hop-ish beats in the background and a powerful message no one can resist this number. (5/5)"On a Night Like This" ~ One of the album's Highlights, this is definatly one of my favorites. The harmonies and beats are great here...along with a Great message. (5+/5)"Bolingo" ~ I'm not sure but I think this was a hit in Europe. It's kind of a slowish dance number with Melanie's trademark vocals. Very sexual and definatly gets your attention. There is however a lack of verses and it kinda runs long. (4/5)"Body & Soul" ~ This song in my opinion is just overall poor in quality. It is extremely repetitive and I personally do not know where they were going in this number (ie: techno, soul, mid spead song?). Definatly should've Not been on the album (1/5)"Say You'll Be Mine" ~ Oh my God!! I love this beautiful Ballad. Melanie is at her best once again in this number and it has a very Good chorus and harmonies. Definatly one of the Album's standout tracks...but for some reason E Weekly has it as one of the "Forgettable Ballads." Whats wrong with them?! (5+/5)"Don't Let The Rain" ~ This song is kind of stupid but funny. I give it credit however because it is Lane who sings in this one and only him which is rare with LB. Kind of makes ya want to get up and dance but overall a fun song! (4/5)"Sweet Little Persuader" ~ Takes a little time getting used to, this number has Great vocals once again after Melanie takes a brake from the following track. Lane however continues to add to her harmonies making it an overall fun song. (5/5)"Say it With Love" ~ Perhaps a bit cheezy but Melanie's vocals turn this once cheddar filled ditty with power and soul, making it one of the album's highlights! It's a must listen. (5+/5)Overall this album would average 4 stars but since I am biased and Melanie's death made me even more so, I give it 5. A must buy for La Bouche fans or anyone who fancies Euro Pop/Dance.

This album was her 3rd but she also has "Best Of LaBouche" which was released after she died. Melanie did very very good job and I have all of her albums and my favorite album of hers was All Mixed Up but I love all of her albums. Lane (Melanie's partner) you stay strong!! May God be with you Melanie!! I want to leave this comment in a positive way for you Melanie!! and I have message for all LaBouche fans if you guys wonder what happened to them and wonder why they havent make more albums after the 4rd album of "Best Of LaBouche" was because of Melanie's death

I cannot believe that this cd didn't outsell Sweet Dreams. This cd has more dance trax, and in my opinion they are better too. Tracks #1, 2, 3, 8, 9, and 14 are just great. The rest of them are slow songs, but they still are better than the slow songs on Sweet Dreams. I remember when La Bouche first came out, you heard them on the radio ALL THE TIME. Now, if you do hear one of their trax, it is from the Sweet Dreams cd. I cannot even remember hearing anything from SOS on the radio. I stumbled across it at a music store and picked it up on impulse. It was the best purchase I have ever made. This is a must have in any DJ's collection or for anyone that likes GOOD non-trendy dance music.

The long awaited sophmore album has the same dance smash flavor that the original album had, but we still love the taste. While the writing may not be the best, the power of both music and vocals leaves no doubt. This is a 110% dance album. But if that's your thing, its a must have. Almost every song has Melanie's awesome voice screaming to a powerful beat, with the exception of A Moment of Love, the albums only ballad. But even that rocks. A Moment of Love is a gorgeous song, already being made into a dance remix for the single release. Fans of La Bouche will be happy, and so will anyone who wants to dance to great music and a great voice.

La Bouche returns with an impressive mix of songs similar to the effort that made "Sweet Dreams" so popular. Not bad for a sophomore album. If you enjoyed "Sweet Dreams", "S.O.S" will not disappoint. I am sure there was a lot of pressure to try to equal their original album, but I know La Bouche fans will be pleased.

La Bouche's forte is clearly in meaty singles, not meaty albums. Rapper Lane McCray and show-stopping vocalist Melanie Thornton's debut, "Sweet Dreams" (a double-platinum smash in the States), featured the wonderful trio of instant floor-fillers for the `90s- "Sweet Dreams", "Be My Lover", and "I Love to Love"- but the rest of the album sank under the drab ballads and weak shots at R&B. Their 1998 follow-up, "S.O.S.", follows a similar pattern that loses its drive even quicker. "You Won't Forget Me" (in both of its opening and closing versions) is an irresistible slice of Euro-dance- thumping beats, killer chorus, and mesmerizing harmonies- and one of the best dance-pop singles of its time. The title track comes in second, but compared to "You Won't Forget Me", it's far from running in the same ranks. "Unexpected Lovers" and "Whenever You Want" offer tight club grooves, but the unimagined lyrics and forgettable hooks override everything else and lower the album into the ranks of insipid dance music. Most modern pop releases tend to be little more than one or two hit songs and plenty of background music, but for a Euro-dance act background music is just not allowed. Thornton may insist that "you won't forget me", but "S.O.S." will probably do just the opposite.
