    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.

    Great debut album from these very talented young girls! A nice selection of catchy pop songs lead by the single 'Wings'. They are mostly upbeat songs that get you in nothing but a good mood :)

After that, they came with this album that totally contrast her Winner's Single "Cannonball" and really changed the way we saw a girl-group. 4 Vocalist, totally different in their own way, same as a group, and bring us a pop-catchy, non boring and full of good beats, lyrics with content and out of the bad image a star can show, unique style and also the 4 girls are beautiful without any surgery? C' me on, we have a really NICE group in way to become a huge success, and it won't come by the fact of a relationship with a one direction member, oh no! After it, everybody check what this girls sing and i can tell, more than one gets impacted by their AWESOME vocals. Tracks to be consider: The whole album
    Tracks to check out as a possible single: Madhouse, Pretend It's Ok, Stereo Soldier, Red Planet.    … Expand

    A decent first time effort for X-Factor's winning group Little Mix. The unfortunate truth is that there was a lot of expectations that were not met by this release. Download: How Ya Doin'?, DNA, Wings.

    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.

    It is good for a debut album but could have been better, the vocal save some songs despite the other to save themselves by themselves.
    Highlights: We Are Who We Are and Sterio Soldier
    Lows: Madhouse and Love Drunk

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The main duty of pop is to be catchy, and it's a duty which DNA mostly shirks miserably.
