Back Home - Westlife

Advantages: 2 good tracks!
Disadvantages: The ten bad tracks!

...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 ...
...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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Advantages: It's a Westlife Album! New tracks
Disadvantages: Some covers on the album

Another great album of Westlife's. The songs are great, very catchy although it took about 3 listens before I really liked the album. There are 3 cover songs this album. Home, of course, is a Michael Buble song and they do a great version of it, but I personally still prefer the original. I'm Already There is an American country song, I don't know who sings it originally, but this is an awesome version of it. You can really feel the emotions in ...
...sung by Monica or Brandy (or both), it was done in the late 90's or early 2000's, never a fave of mine and I can't quite bring myself to listen to all of it, though as always, the lads do awesome harmonies at the start of the song! If nothing else, Westlife do covers very well! But I still prefer their original tracks! The rest of the album is fantastic, You Must Have Had A Broken Heart, the last track, would rival Maybe Tomorrow(last track on ... Read review
