    The perfect album debut!

    With DNA we realize the talent of these girls. Thank you Little Mix for being part of the art of music.

    Few bops.. some skips but still a good album considering that these young girls were still finding their sound and still experimenting with music.

    It's a great debut album. They managed to harmonize very well, their voices are powerful and delicate.

    This is an INCREDIBLE first album by Little Mix. It has amazing songs, like happy feeling ones, and slow ballad ones that can make you cry in a heartbeat. Just pure Perfection.

    I really don't know why people dislike this album, for being a debut becoming from a girlband is amazing, like they talk about really delicate things on this album such as like domestic violence. they were teenagers when they wrote topics like this so if you're gonna listen to the beat instead of their lyrics then you are completly missing the point of it. they even talk about depressionI really don't know why people dislike this album, for being a debut becoming from a girlband is amazing, like they talk about really delicate things on this album such as like domestic violence. they were teenagers when they wrote topics like this so if you're gonna listen to the beat instead of their lyrics then you are completly missing the point of it. they even talk about depression with "pretend it's ok". like normally solo artists talk about this. so there's more point. what i like about this album and this group is the fact that they didn't let anyone tell them what they should do. people expect from a girlband to be just pop music, no meaning and all that, but little mix really said "shut up no, we have **** to say" since the beginning they been doing important messages to everyone. so for me it's a 10 this album, so underrated and for being released in 2012 was GOOD.

    Is a cute pop album, listening again brings a nostalgia for the beginning of the group.

    It is one of the most beautiful albums. It does not deserve to be on this score. Stream DNA.

    A great way to start a debut album. It talks about relationship, success and friendship.

    Little Mix nós entrega seu debut álbum "perfeito", será que podemos chama-lo disto?. A girl group britânica entrega vocais bons, mas foca 69% em apenas Jade T e Perrie E e esquece de Leigh P tem uma voz forte,poderosa, 'encorpada' que podia facilmente substituir Perrie e seu vocal copiado de Cristina Aguilera, de voz rouca que é boa com notas altas,mas nós decepciona em notas "normais",Little Mix nós entrega seu debut álbum "perfeito", será que podemos chama-lo disto?.

Como posso chamar de um grupo se apenas escuto 69% a voz de uma ou duas integrantes?. Leigh,Jade,Jesy e Perrie com seus vocais excelentíssimos nós impressiona em 18 faixas que podia ter sido distribuído melhor a cada garota. Em relação a sonoridade Little mix e seus produtores entregam uma "obra de arte", escorados 35% na música latina, sem ter uma integrante latina pra fingir inspiração, poderia citar milhares de pontos positivos e negativos em relação a este álbum, porém 5000 palavras é o permitido. Parabéns nota 8,5 Expand

    Um álbum extremamente incrível para um debut, as letras e a interpretação das músicas, com tanta emoção e sentimento

    Oh dear oh dear. This is by far Little Mix's worst album to date. The singles chosen from this album do not represent the whole body of work. The album is very childish and manufactured.

    When you're listening to this time flies by so fast. But it's not that good. In the beginning it feels really good - Wings, Change Your Life and Always Be Together are amazing, have meaning and they just aren't bad. But I am not a big fan of the rest of the album. It kind of gets boring, it's the same tune all over again and it isn't that enjoyable. But I have to admit that their vocalsWhen you're listening to this time flies by so fast.

    A generic X Factor album. Some modern production and impressive vocals do save it from being totally disposable. It's not a bad album, it's just not exactly a Girls Aloud album.

    With tiresome and outdated songs, DNA by Little Mix is one of the worst albums released in 2015. The album does not add anything to the listeners, it is tiring and boring

    A pretty solid start to what has been a highly successful career to date this is a good album leaving them room to build on towards future albums. This proves to me that they are the best girl group since the Spice Girls.

    Mudei de opinião sobre esse álbum, primeiramente tinha achado uma porcaria, e pra avaliar melhor é bom ouvi-lo umas 2/3 vezes, foi isso que eu fiz quando queria ouvir umas músicas diferentes, prestando atenção é bem melhor que o Salute e tem vários hinos que foi mal compreendidos por min anteriormente.

    The first album . The first success. This girl band is sure to be the most influential of today , it has a voice and a simply outstanding and powerful harmony. There is no comparison between them and 5h , with much better certainty

    A decent effort, nothing special though. Not impressed at all. I don't know why they included Love Drunk or Make You Believe on it, really bad tracks.

    This album is horrible.
    Most of the music is no good and the vocals that appear are the more Perrie.
    Salute to improve on them a bit, but in the DNA they were horrible, unique vocals that were saving were the Perrie and Jade (RIP Leigh and Jesy).
    One of the only good songs is Turn Your Face.

    The album is good, but not great, many songs are boring and with a sickening crash. But is addictive and great songs like Always Be Together and Turn Your Face.

    I rule out the album only Case Closed, Going Nowhere, How Ya Doin, Love Drunk, Madhouse, Stereo Soldier. These are songs that spoil the album, taking them the album is perfect.

    Verdadeiras rainhas, belos vocais, letras maravilhosas, um arranjo encantador, um dos melhores "primeiro album" que eu ja ouvi!
    Não é atoa que ganharam o TXF, merecem!

    With placid, feline production, tight harmonies and breezy beats, much of DNA ambles along the well-trodden path of the temperate demi-ballad. But it's the ventures away from this that prove Little Mix function far better either side of mid-tempo.
  2. The main duty of pop is to be catchy, and it's a duty which DNA mostly shirks miserably.

    A solidly enjoyable, radio-ready pop album.
