Have you ever considered that Missy Elliot could perhaps be the reason for that sis?
Of course she also is for these songs, no doubt. But Get Ur Freak On was solely produced by him, as well as other songs. It doesn't just begin or stop with Missy Elliott, anyway.
Lord this is awful. the South Koreans do this Girl Group thing so much better no wonder girl groups are a joke in the Angelosphere
the basic singing, the 'dancing'
The entire speak now album is easily better than this generic mess

"Biology" received universal acclaim from music critics. The song was particularly notable for its informal structure. Popjustice referred to the song as "pop music which redefines the supposed boundaries of pop music."[8] BBC Music said "the girls rip through a variety of styles, paces and Neneh Cherry-esque raps [...] all within the same song."[9] Virgin Media praised the song for "blending the kind of saucy cabaret you'd expect to find in a gin-soaked saloon bar with a glorious chorus of fizzing, gliding synths and deceptively breakneck beats."[10] The song was described as "about as far from tired formula as you can possibly get. It sounds like three separate melodies condensed into one, from the Muddy Waters-apeing riff at the start, through to the glorious pop sheen of the verses, and having the sheer balls to wait two minutes before even introducing a chorus."[11] musicOMH noted that the song "breaks all the rules of manufactured pop" and stated that "Biology is yet more proof that Xenomania write the best pop songs around and that Girls Aloud are pretty much the perfect group to sing them [...] it's the single of the year."[12] Stylus Magazine also praised the song.[13]
Peter Cashmore, writing for The Guardian, described "Biology" as "the best pop single of the last decade".[14] Peter Robinson of music website Popjustice said the song was "a great example of a song which pleased people with no passion for pop but also managed to hit the spot with those who totally loved the stuff [...] At once avant garde and relentlessly, demented mainstream, 'Biology' quickly became one of Girls Aloud's signature tunes."[3] In September 2006, "Biology" won the award for the Popjustice £20 Music Prize, an annual prize awarded by a panel of judges organised by Popjustice to the singer(s) of the best British pop single of the past year. Girls Aloud had previously won the award in 2003 and 2005 for "No Good Advice" and "Wake Me Up" respectively. The song was listed at number 245 on American review site Pitchfork Media's "The Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s" list, despite Girls Aloud never receiving any sort of stateside push.[15]
Props to us having better taste than those critics?

Los Angeles Times's critic Randall Roberts called the song "a perfect pop confection" however noting it "presents an artist gunning for sly transgression but instead landing on tone-deaf, self-absorbed teen regression, with music to match the vibe."[15] Writing for The Daily Beast, Kevin Fallon found "this new direction of her career is woefully depressing." While he admitted "Shake It Off" is "a great pop song", he said it is "the least musically interesting song that Swift has done" and "it's not personal, at least not in the ways we expect from a Taylor Swift song." Fallon deplored Swift's transition to pop in which he felt she "abandoned her sound" in the process.[16]

Don't u think its KINDA tragic that Rihanna's two flop eras have outsold USA-lor's most successful?
I didn't want to embarrass her by comparing Rih's smash eras to Taylor's, but u leave me no choice!

Lol @ them focusing on Lord's musical direction rather than the song itself. That's why their opinions will never matter so stop the copy + paste from Wiki.
I've only listened to HAIM, and they are good, but I don't know enough discography yet to judge.
The Dum Dum Girls have slipped a bit in recent years, but they are still pretty good. Sleater-Kinney is perhaps the most acclaimed girl band of all time. HAIM's 'Days Are Gone' is perhaps the best girl band release of the 2010s.
There are a lot of good girl bands that have existed in the history of music, and even now. It's just that the good ones are relatively unknown. I hope HAIM can change that though, because their debut was so addictive.
