Although the cover looks like an early '70s throwback, Angels with Dirty Faces is a squarely modern affair that catapulted Sugababes into the A-list on the backs of inventive #1 hits "Round Round" and "Freak Like Me," a mashup/remake of "Freak Like Me" and "Are Friends Electric." As good as those tracks are, my favorite single was "Stronger," a darkly appealing downbeat pop track recallng Massive Attack's "Unfinished Sympathy." The 'Babes would record similar songs, but none as good as "Stronger." What Spice Girls were to girl pop in the '90s, so have been Sugababes this decade.Best: Stronger, Freak Like Me, Round Round, Blue, Supernatural, Angels with Dirty Faces, Shape
