It was the last album with harsh vocalist Andy Solveström.

Японское SHM-CD издание третьего полнометражника группы по "джапан"-традиции дополнено двумя бонусами: аккустические версии песен "Trinity" и "True".
По поводу музыкального материала - продукт получился качественным, добротным, с большой долей коммерции. Но как в большинстве коммерческих проектах , на мой сугубо субъективный взгляд, альбому не хватает какой-то искорки, способной разжечь огонь в душе (как в первых двух альбомах), нет чего-то революционно нового, чем могли бы удивить музыканты. В целом ставлю твёрдую "четвёрку".

Feels So Good is the second studio album by girl group Atomic Kitten and the first full original album featuring Jenny Frost. The style of the album is comparable with the first album and consists mainly of pop ballads, happy songs and one cover version. After releasing a cover version of "Eternal Flame" on the previous album, Susanna Hoffs from The Bangles was asked to write a track for the album called "Love Doesn't Have to Hurt". The girls teamed up with Rob Davis for the songwriting and production of several songs and as a result, Kylie Minogue with whom he frequently collaborated, donated the song "Feels So Good" to the album.
