Full review

I am not one for this particular type of music at the best of times but with young children and grandchildren I often find myself having it forced upon me. A few days ago when my daughter was taking me to see an old friend (being driven there and picked up in order to be able to consume a drink or two) She had her stereo on in the car and on came a song I recognised but not by the singer I knew it by.

The song was home and the version I would associate with would be the Michael Buble version which I still prefer. I commented on the song being a good one to which my daughter replied have this and give it a listen; she then presented me with the Westlife album Back home.

My daughter was of the opinion that due to my fairly open mind when it comes to music and the fact that she likes this album so much that there would be plenty of interest in it for me too, I have to say that she was wrong.

Take out the single once done so well by Michael Buble and there was not much else I could claim to like about the whole experience, finding it drab, boring and all a bit similar for my liking. This album for me could have just been one relentless track as it just seemed to drone on, now I know people are going to be thinking oh hes just another old fart who does not get what youngsters like but I would refer you to my Amy Winehouse review to put that idea to rest.

I have in fact heard Westlife tracks in the past and found them mildly enjoyable; this whole album just did not have anything in it for me at all. It is said to have a mixture of Ballads and more up-beat tracks but the whole thing was a bit slow for me even the faster paced songs had too much of a ballad feel to them.

THE TRACKS AND MY RATINGS

1 - Home - as I mentioned earlier this track is one I have enjoyed sung by another performer and although this version was ok it is better when sung by a single person. 7/10

2 - Us against the world - I don't know for sure if there is such a thing as an upbeat ballad recognised in the music world but that is how I would describe this effort, it has a catchy beat but at the same time carries a real ballad vibe. 5/10

3 - Something right - This particular track is more upbeat than the others but is also very poor in my opinion, no real arrangement or pattern to it. 3/10

4 - Already here - this is the only track on the album that reaches the limits of Home, It has great lyrics and is delivered well but still seems to lack something. 7/10

5 - When I am with you - repetitive rubbish! 1/10

6 - Have you ever - Another ballad but this one does give the lads the chance to do what they do best and harmonise. 6/10

7 - It`s you - this for me could be any other boring westlife ballad, there is nothing new or original about this track and therefore it for me has no point to it at all. 1/10

8 - Catch my breath - The lads actually do break out into a faster pace with this one and it is quite catchy but still not great by any stretch of the imagination. 6/10

9 - the easy way - Another one that skips along a little faster than the ballads but one I did not enjoy at all. 2/10

10 - I do - Back to Westlife basics with this one, another ballad but a fairly decent one with good lyrics. 5/10

11 - Pictures in my head - Not sure what to make of this track other than to say that it is very poor and not of the standards you would expect from a group of this standing. 2/10

12 - You Must Have Had a Broken Heart - I certainly had a broken heart after yet another drab ballad, the only thing I could say in this songs favour is that it brought the sub standard album to a close. 3/10

Overall rating 5/10

There is no doubt that these likeable Irish lad`s have good voices and can harmonise very well together and when they have a big song then they bring it to life well but this album had no real big songs for them to work with and the only great song on the album "Home" was not performed all that well for me.

For me Westlife are a very decent group but they have produced a very average album in this one, best stick to their older stuff unless you are a huge fan who will enjoy anything they do!

Thanks for reading.

Bill.

Review of Back Home - Westlife by sewbizzie

Advantages: Westlife, great songs and voices
Disadvantages: A few week links and very ballard orientated

...Irish men. It is titled Back Home. There are 12 tracks on this CD:- 1 - Home - This is a beautiful ballard from the group which you will have probably have heard on the radio or advertised on the TV when the adverts for this album appears. It has a lovely tune and is very easy listening. 2 - Us against the world - This is another ballard but has a different edge to it from their usual ballards. The tune is very catchy and the song has great words. ...
...10 - I Do - Back to the ballards! This is another typical Westlife ballard but nothin bad to say about it, there are some lovely words and a lovely soft melody. 11 - Pictures in my head - Yes another upbeat song! Great song with really good words but the tune is a bit predictable and nothing really stands out in this song for me. 12 - You Must Have Had a Broken Heart - We end the album on, yes you guessed it, a ballard! This is yet another typical ... Read review

Back Where They Belong
Review of Back Home - Westlife by MI9to5

Advantages: Superb lyrics and vocals
Disadvantages: None for me

...Face, The Love Album, and Back Home. It is their latest album Back Home that I will today be reviewing. Back Home was released on 05 November 2007 and is probably my favourite Westlife album so far. The album debuted at number 1 in the UK charts. ***TRACK 1 – HOME*** This track is a fantastic opener for the album. The song is naturally a ballad and suits the style of the boys to perfection. The backing track is quite atmospheric in certain places ...
...however the lyrics themselves that back the track everything it is. They are truly sublime from the opening moment to the very last word and tell a fantastic story that I think a lot of people can relate to. 10/10 ***TRACK 5 – WHEN I’M WITH YOU*** This track is more up beat and slightly faster than the tracks before it and so stands out on the album. It is definitely a stark contrast to the track before. The vocals are strong and competent and ... Read review

Westlife are definitely back home
Review of Back Home - Westlife by rooneyc7

Advantages: 12 great songs, brilliant lyrics, the music is really good
Disadvantages: not enough of Kian and Nicky singing on their own

...tempo songs. It takes us back to the start of Westlife. The Album: 1) Home - Brilliant version of the Michael Buble classic. The mixture of Harmonies between Mark and Shane is unbelievable. The emotion they show in this song is unreal and brings a tear to your eye when you are away from home and you really want to go back. 2) Us Against the World starts of with Nicky singing "Us Against the World" over and over again but it gains tempo throughout ...
...the Love Album but with back home I really love its originality. Its a change from the cover versions. I know the covered Michael Buble's home but they did, as Louis Walsh would say "made it their own". I really am well impressed with it and in the 6 or 7 hours I have this album I think I have listened to it at least 4 times. For all you westlife fans get this album. You wont be disappointed. It is really good. Duration: approx 45 mins. ... Read review

Westlife do it again!
Review of Back Home - Westlife by rose1986

Advantages: Fantastic music, great voices, good price, readily available
Disadvantages: none

...the first song on album, Back Home. As mentioned before, this song was originally sung by Michael Buble. The song was co-wrote by Michael Buble along with two others and has featured in the film, The Wedding Date. However, Westlife have changed their version slightly with the lyrical arrangement. Westlife shot the music video for this song mainly in Los Angeles, America whilst some was filmed in the UK. This song fits perfectly with Westlife's typical ...
...meaning. This is my favourite song in the album. +* Track Listing *+ I would like to go in to detail on each track, however, I think this review will last forever! The following tracks also appear on the album in this order: Us Against the World Something Right I'm Already There When I'm With You Have You Ever It's You Catch My Breath The Easy Way I Do Pictures In My Head You Must Have Had A Broken Heart +* Album Cover *+ The album cover ...

Westlife at their best!
Review of Back Home - Westlife by Claire230590

Advantages: It's Westlife!
Disadvantages: None!

Well, this was Westlife's last album before they went on their one year break, and i can definetely say that this is Westlife at their best! The album generally has a good mixture of ballads and uptemo songs. Also a good mixture of covers and originals - yes these boys can write a fabulous song when they want too! Two personal favourites of mine have to be 'Us Against The World' and 'I'm Already There' 'Us Against The World' because it sums up ...
...babies, weddings, families, growing up etc...) and 'I'm Already There' because you can really feel the emotion when Shane and Nicky sing on it (they both have children, and the song is about a father being away from his children) All in all, i have to say i cannot wait for Westlife's return album, and another 10 years!!!!! ...

...managed by Louis Walsh. Since their formation the bands music has greatly evolved and moved from teen pop to contempary adult music. In 2004 Bryan left the band to work on solo projects but despite rumours the rest of the band carried on performing and are still performing today. Together the boys have released - albums, sold more than 40 million records worldwide and gained 14 number one singles in the UK Their albums are; Westlife, Coast to Coast, World of Our Own, Unbreakable, Turnaround, Allow us to be Frank, Face to Face, The Love Album, and Back Home. It is their first and 4x platinum album Westlife, released in 1999, which I will today be reviewing. Track list 1. Swear it Again 2. If I Let You Go 3. Flying Without Wings 4. Fool Again 5. No No 6.

Review of Now That's What I Call Music Vol.68 - Various Artists by  just.bcoz

Advantages: Great songs. great artists, great value for money
Disadvantages: some crappy songs

...like a ballad with a pop tempo and beat to it. Its a great song and Akon should sing more songs like this because I didnt realise his voice was as good untill I heard this song. (5/5) 21 ~ BABY LOVE ~ NICOLE SCHERZINGER "You are my baby love, my baby love, You make the sun come up (Oh boy, oh boy)" This is a really slow ballad style song, Nicoles vocals arent really good, I dont think they are as strong vocally as other artists on this CD. (2/5) 22 ~ HOME - WESTLIFE "But trying is the only way to know, And I wanna come back home" I dont know why the producers of Now put this song as the very last on the double CD because it is a fantastic love song. The Westlife boys sure know how to sing a powerful ballad. (5/5) ~~~~~~~~ My Verdict ~~~~~~~~ I bought this CD from Woolworths on Monday and I have listened to it loads... Read review
