Taller in More Ways is the fourth studio album by British girl group Sugababes, released by Island Records on 10 October 2005.

It was primarily produced by Dallas Austin and Jony Rockstar, with additional production from Cameron McVey, Xenomania and Guy Sigsworth.

[2] During their break between the Autumn of 2004 and Summer of 2005, speculation arose about the band's future, which included rumours of a greatest hits album being released and that the group would later split.

[8] The song was inspired by a limerance between Buchanan and an artist who collaborated with Austin,[9] and is lyrically about a woman's sexual frustration of being unnoticed by a man.

[7][10] The third track is "Follow Me Home", a downtempo and romantic R&B ballad,[6][11] instrumentatally accompanied by of keyboards, a guitar, beats and bass.

[7] The song's is accompanied by keyboards, a guitar, beats and bass,[12] and features the Sugababes singing lines such as "Boy do I turn you round / Isn't this profound".

[6] Lyrically, "Joy Division" is about sleazy men; according to Range, "My verse is about a guy who tries to chat you up and conveniently forgets the fact that he's got a wife and kids".

[14][15] Its instrumentation is composed of keyboards, bass and guitars, while the main riff samples the Northern soul song "Landslide" by Tony Clarke.

[14] The sixth track of Taller in More Ways is the midtempo pop rock ballad "Ugly", consisting of acoustic guitars "buoyed by peripheral detail".

[10][15] "It Ain't Easy", the album's seventh track, is an electro and R&B song backed by a guitar riff, drums and keys.

[15] The album's twelfth and closing track is "2 Hearts", an acoustic-driven power ballad that incorporates dark wave and European electropop.

[18] Alex Roginski of The Sydney Morning Herald wrote that the song "utilises electro clash for a grinding foray into R&B.

"[4] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian named it better than the album's lead single, "Push the Button", while also describing it as "Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus' rewritten with its existential angst replaced by the travails of teen romance.

"[19] The Observer's Peter Robinson also noted a similarity between the two songs, writing that the track "breezily pays homage to Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus'".

[15] Hoffman wrote that "it's a wonder Martin Gore doesn't get a writing credit" in the song, "against a martial strut and agitated double-time group vocals.

"[21] Sugababes performed the song at the Clyde Auditorium in Glasgow, Scotland on 20 March 2006, as part of their UK tour to promote Taller in More Ways.

"[26] According to Alexis Petridis of The Guardian, Austin "adds a light, but none the less thrilling dusting of monotonal crunk-influenced synthesised honking" to the song.

"[27] Ben Hogwood of musicOMH gave a favorable review; he described it as a "dancefloor anthem in the making and surely a future single".

[7] He elaborated that despite a "passable foundation of synth-fuzz R&B with trendy tabla-esque skittering", the song "can't help but pale by comparison" to "Try Again".

K. Ross Hoffman of AllMusic awarded the album 4 out of 5 stars, labelling it "among their strongest" and favouring "the simple yet effective electro-pop club ditty 'Push The Button' [and] even better in that category [the] monstrously funky 'Red Dress'", as well as 'Follow Me Home' and 'Ugly', calling them two "aptly pitched inspirational mini-epics".

He was less favourable about their cover of 'Obsession', stating, "sadly, Sugababes' version sands off the edges rather than amps up the lunacy: what's left is like 1980s night at karaoke".

signifiers like Girls Aloud, it doesn't impart a skewed existential narrative like Britney, but 'Taller in More Ways' is absolutely bursting with tunes, and as such it's hard to resist.

[38] Taller in More Ways was certified 2× Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), denoting shipments of 600,000 copies of the album.

[43] Taller in More Ways debuted and peaked at number five in Austria and logged a total of 18 weeks in the chart, becoming the Sugababes' best-performing album in the country.

[51] The album peaked at number 11 in Germany and was certified Gold by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI), denoting shipments of 100,000 copies.

With the album released, the Sugababes announced a UK tour; it began in Sheffield on 17 March 2006, and finished in London on 10 April 2006.
