Amazon.co.uk Review
The 411's debut album, Between the Sheets, is a sassy, confident, hook-filled entrance, with the added credibility of a host of names behind it. Ghostface Killah materialises "On My Knees" (which he also produces) and they've ridden, to a certain extent, under the wings of Lemar (they met, for the most part, doing his backing vocals). History aside, there's an originality to The 411 that makes them stand out in the same way as The Sugababes do (perhaps the girls' nearest contemporaries on their pop side).

However, despite this and some nifty Sixties all-girl influences (particularly lead single "On My Knees" – a catchy, ghostly thing) the girls have a definite hip-hop edge too. It's an interesting mix that, for the most part, works. It's not particularly deep stuff though--"Dumb", for instance, tracks the thought of a potential affair, before concluding that it would be "dumb", with a chorus that stutters the word to little melodic effect. That said, this is a global sound from a talented bunch of London girls. --Ben Johncock

A good debut for the London Girls!
The album features a bundle of soulful and sassy RnB. Highlights of the album inculde the pre-released singles; 'On my Knes', 'Dumb' and 'Teardrops'. But also un release tracks such as; 'Forever Begins', 'You can't fight love' and 'China Girl'show off the girls voices and talent. However tunes such as; 'What if it was you?' and 'Jumpin' let the album down and are clearly not up to the standard of most tracks on the album.
Tipped to be the British 'Destinys Child', The 411 offers a selection of hits which will both appeal to their fans and also appeal to more mature RnB/Pop lovers.
By all means go and buy this album if you were impressed by the sample singles already released!

Wow!
I don't usually write reviews, but after listening to this album, I felt I had to.

It is amazing! Every track is good, no filler at all.

I love this....!!!!!!
I was thinking back in the summer that if they released an album then I would definately buy it. I did and I have had it just under a week and can't put it down!!!!
My favourite tracks on this album would be Teardrops, China Girl and My Friend but this isn't to say that the rest of the album isn't good. It's brilliant. I know all the song words to all of the tracks!!!
Well done girls and look forward to the second album!

WOW!
After listening to this album onece, i was hooked. After lovin On My Knees and Dumb, I was ready and waiting for an album; and the 411 delivered. 12 tracks of upbeat, modern and funky tunes. But also voicing issues on important issues in tracks such as "My Friend" and "What If It Was You?", i would definitly recommend this to be a part of anyone's cd collection
