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 it as they sing.
Have You Ever was originally 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 Face to Face) as a ballad, it is very powerfully sung, lovely harmonies and the sheer emotion of the song can be heard.
The Easy Way is another song that has become an (almost) instant fave, very catchy, there are several different tempos in the song, and it is just enjoyable to listen to. Not sure if it's quite up there with World of Our Own, but I'd say it's pretty close on the just wanna get up and dance scale!
All the other songs are really enjoyable, as always their harmonies are fabulous, and they tend to choose songs you just want to listen to over and over again.
The only thing I have found as a downside is the Irish way of not pronouncing their H's in the words really comes out in a few of their songs. 'Us against the world', the 2nd track on the album in particular. They sing 'When I'm wit you' rather than 'When I'm with you'. Usually their diction when they sing is perfect, so I was quite surprised to notice that.
All in all this album is definitely worth buying!!
