    Paul Oakenfold's most notable album. Even if it does drench in pop sauce and stinks of "PLEASE PUT ME ON THE CHARTS" all over, it manages to sound good. Nevermind the songs with lyrics in them, they're unworthy of notice. Yet, the beats are catchy. I found myself listening to Harder They Fall, but not to Nelly Furtado nor that other guy she sings with. Ready Steady Go starts an Paul Oakenfold's most notable album.

Yet, the beats are catchy. I found myself listening to Harder They Fall, but not to Nelly Furtado nor that other guy she sings with. Ready Steady Go starts an album that seems very promising but then just shows there was nothing in its hand. Losing the bets, it just minimizes its great intro and replaces it with soft pop songs with good synths. Zoo York admirably immitates Requiem For a Dream's musical anthem, while the "Coke AD" song works nicely when just attempting to chill out. I like it, really. It could have been better, though.… Collapse

    Southern Sun IS the song for 2002... greatest hit of the year here in Malta

    Interesting record but not as consistent as the Oakenfold I was knew. A bit too hip-hoping to my taste. However, I must say, the song "Southern Sun" with vocals from Carla Werner is simply unbelievable! Too bad the feel of that song isn't felt on the entire album. Still, a good record.

    I kinda like it. Sounds like a movie soundtrack, and that's pretty cool.

    it has a fair good pack of upbeat songs...& some others that aren't so good. It seems though that songs are not really connected, theres no album as a hole. I don't know..maybe I'm just being a dick!. ...As an overall this CD rocks!. Its a must have for every Oakenfold fan...or dance-house music fan.

    Spouts off on multiple tangents and never returns.

    The album works because Oakenfold has abandoned the stylistic limits of trance yet brought the genre's tuneful oomph to tracks with a little more personality.
