    The music market is full of boy-bands and male vocalist, so female great vocalist, but what about a girl-group? There are none of them since Spice Girls.

There are none of them since Spice Girls. And finally a group appeared, make a strong impact in UK and then win The X-Factor one of the most important worldwide reality show. 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.

    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

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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 :)

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
