Full review
Take That first formed back in 1990, they were then active until 1996, Robbie Williams having left the band the previous year. Their last single the first time around was a cover of The Bee Gees track 'How Deep Is Your Love', a single that hit the number one spot and appeared to be their last. This was of course not to be as in late 2005 there was official press conference from the band stating that they would be touring in 2006 complete with all members other than Robbie Williams. The tour was given the name 'The Ultimate Tour 2006' and ran between the months of April and June. In May 2006 the band signed a deal with Polydor Records that was reportedly worth £3 million, and their 'Beautiful World' album was subsequently released on November 27th 2006.
The album begins well with the track 'Reach Out', it was going to be the third single released from 'Beautiful World' in fact, however when 'Rule The World' came about from the film 'Stardust' it took providence. With 'Reach Out' the band begin as they mean to go on, following it swiftly with 'Patience' and always impressing as they progress their way through the 'Beautiful World' album. 'Patience' was the lead single from this album and is one which is extremely powerful, and excellent return for the band and one with which they spent 4 weeks at Number 1, with the single going on to become the 8th best selling single of 2006 in the UK having spent a fantastic ten weeks in the top ten. It would have been the Christmas Number One for 2006 had it not been for Leona Lewis and her 'A Moment Like This' single. Whilst X-Factor is aired on TV we may never see anyone other than the winner of the show take the Christmas Number One spot; I shan't go into this too much but it really is quite a shame for the music business in the UK.
The 'Beautiful World' album consists of eleven tracks and is ever excellent throughout its entirety. As well as the standard eleven, the track 'Butterfly' is also included as a hidden bonus track tagged on the end of final track 'Butterfly', a brilliant extra for the album and one that completes it fantastically. Take That really do excel as a band throughout their 'Beautiful World' album and in my opinion it is the best that they have ever released. As well as the excellent 'Patience', the hit single 'Shine' is also present on this album and provides for another of its stand out moments. It has an epic chorus and the vocals of Mark Owen come booming through. I actually probably prefer this one to lead single 'Patience' as I feel that the track possesses a great quality in which every time it is listened to it seems to improve and thus becomes greater and greater an anthem. Mark Owen is a fantastically talented vocalist and is as vital member as any in the band Take That.
With each and every track the band have got it spot on in terms of choruses, and the album actually contains tracks in which all four of the bands members are given the role of lead vocals here. Jason Orange has a mere one however, and Howard has only two; Gary Barlow on the other hand has six including bonus track 'Butterfly', whilst Mark Owen is left with three. I feel that of the four of them, the tracks that have come out best here are probably those led by Mark Owen. I have never been much of a fan of Gary Barlow, and in my opinion it is certainly the vocals of Mark Owen that shine through in this album. That said; Jason Orange's 'Wooden Boat' works brilliantly well at the end of the album and both of those sung by Howard Donald are well worth listening to.
'Beautiful World' was a brilliant return from Take That, an album I am a great fan of and one that I listen to an awful lot. I wouldn't say that the music of Take That is the usual sort of thing that I would go for, however there is just something about this album which make it excellent to listen to, and almost impossible to stop listening to in fact. At no stage do the band ever to fail to impress and their 'Beautiful World' album is therefore one which I cannot recommend highly enough. It cries out to be heard by all and whatever your taste in music I thoroughly suggest that you give the band a go here as I am sure that you will not be disappointed.

Advantages: Great songs Disadvantages: None
...the crowd Their album, Beautiful World tells us that it really is a beautiful world. To me this album is typical Take That, fun pop but with a classic take. In fact Take That say themselves that this album is a "Throwback to the 90's with a modern twist. The album was released on November 27th 2006. What I find incredible is that even though it had only been released for just over a month it still was the second best selling album of 2006 in the ... ...two favourite songs along with Beautiful World. I didn't really like the song Mancunian Way, to me it was a bit too northern. Even though they are from MAnchester they seemed to put on really strong accents for this song and for me it just didn't work. The rest of the songs on the album are as follows: 1. Reach Out 2. Patience 3. Beautiful World 4. Hold On 5. Like I Never Loved you at all 6. Shine 7. I'd Wait for Life 8. Ain't no Sense in Love 9. ...

Advantages: Much more mature Music Disadvantages: Lots of cheese
Well they are well and truly back the sensation that broke thousands of girls & a few boys (awww) hearts many years ago when they decided to split up. This album is far from anything they released when they were all rowdy young lads up for a laugh and a few other things, far from songs such as ‘’Pray’’ ‘’it only takes a minute’’ yes all these song are obviously from ma bunch of lads who party drink collect women and well party.. To be honest after ... ...pleased after watching the antics of which they got up to on the backs of tour buses which is way to disgusting to mention on here, i could only try to imagine the rubbish that was about to be played down the waves of radio stations all over, i mean come on they were Ok when they were younger and the songs were Kind of Excellent so they couldn’t possibly top any of that being much older an all, could they?? Wrong This album is truly GREAT the album ...

Advantages: Quality music with fantastic lyrics Disadvantages: None
...- Gary Barlow ~ Another beautiful ballad basically about wanting that special someone back in your life. Quite a slow and slushy track but that's what take that do best!
8.Ain't No Sense In Love ~ Lead vocal - Gary Barlow ~ The title says it all really, love this track very catchy and clever lyrics.

11.Wooden Boat ~ Lead vocal - Jason Orange ~ Very cute little folk style song something quite different to what we usually get from take that but I like it! Not sure whether one of them actually stole the car keys to their mums car or not, but that's in the lyrics. It's different and I like it.

Advantages: IT'S TAKE THAT! Disadvantages: Maybe a too few many ballads if anything
...are always laughing - a beautiful sight for any TT fan to see! It is clear to the viewer that they are happy enough to be doing the chat and getting the chance to reminisce about the making of the album and being able to share this with their fans, and let them see whta they are really like.
My favourite song is probably either Shine or Rule the World. Other brilliant songs include Mancunian Way - a very important song to them as explained on the ... ...Mark owen. Throughout the whole album, the boys voices are amazing, showing that they can only get better, and the lyrics are just as good.
My CD/DVD was bought on Amazon for about £10 and took around five days to be delivered, and was delivered in good condition and fully working. I would recommend this product to other fans, and would encourage anyone who gets this product to watch the DVD, the highlight of my experience of this product. ...

Advantages: Classic Take That Disadvantages: ...none!
...mature feel to it.
The title track sounds a little like ?Reach Out? . However, ?BeautifulWorld? is a more rounded track, still a pop track but this time more mid-tempo than a ballad and louder musically and vocally. It just isn?t quite as effective, though and just seems to be missing a certain something that would make it another great track.
?Hold On? starts with a guitar,mark owen obviously,nothing special really.
We're back on more familiar ground with ?Like I Never Loved You At All?, as once more you?re faced with a guitar led pop ballad. This song is a personal favourite of mine. It sounds more like their old stuff.
With the bass line and guitar, ?Shine? is already a more interesting track before the vocals ever get going. Mark Owen takes the vocals again, but the song has a kind of Beatles influence and a certain showmanship...

Advantages: Great songs, nice lyrics, Mark, Jason and Howard sing a few too. Disadvantages: A couple of songs that are a bit slow and dull.
...walking along the sand, inside it has more pictures of the boys and lyrics to all of the songs.
The CD is black with just the Take-That logo on.
Here is my opinion of each song-
1. REACH OUT- A good catchy tune, lead vocals by Gary, very enjoyable to listen to.
2. PATIENCE- Just about everyone knows this song, it's been played to death on the radio. A great pop song, the best choice on the album to be their comeback single. Lead vocals by Gary.
3. BEAUTIFULWORLD- Lead vocals by Howard, it grew on me, I think this is a decent song.
4. HOLD ON- I don't like this one so much, but it's ok, lead vocals by Mark Owen.
5. LIKE I NEVER LOVED YOU AT ALL- A really nice, upbeat catchy song, one of my favourites on the album. Lead vocals-Gary.
6. SHINE- I loved this song since the first time I saw them perform it on "An Audience With Take-That...

Advantages: Gary Barlow has talent Disadvantages: I'd said Goodbye, and didn't want to say Hello again
...kind of expect it to be goodbye forever! These days I can think of few things worse than 2 hours screaming constantly in a room full of thousands of teenaged girls (or women in their 20s as they will be now!), and I gave their 2006 sell-out tour a miss!
Some things are better left in the past, but for old time's sake I got their "Never Forget" DVD (of course DVDs weren't around when TakeThat were before!) for Christmas 2005, and this Christmas just passed I convinced hubby to buy me their new album "BeautifulWorld". It was a terrible experience for him, and he doesn't know how he will face the Woolworth's staff again (although he has admitted that he quite likes the single 'Patience'!)
I didn't get round to listening to it until we were tidying the house (this goes to show how much my attitude towards TT has changed), but this...
