Advantages: Good songs, Good lyrics for all the songs Disadvantages: None
I have liked Westife since they first started in 1998. When they were supporting act for Boyzone on their world tour in 1998. I have had their latest album for a christmas present from my fiancee. I have sat and listened to this album and I think this album is brilliant.
* The songs*
1) You raise me up ( 4 mins 3 secs) This was a number 1 hit for the boys. This song is not a lively song, but it is a very powerful song. One of the lines is `You ... ...raise me up so I can walk on stormy seas.' To people who listen to music alot or for the older generation or for anyone they are phenomenally strong lyrics for this song.
2) When you tell me that you love me ( 3 mins 58 secs). This song is with Diana Ross who is a great singer. This was a number 2 hit for the boys. This song is powerful song and the lyrics are very easy to learn. I think that this song is going to go down well a wedding disco' and ...

Advantages: Strong Vocals, Great Production Disadvantages: Slightly monotonous at times
When Westlife released "Allow Us To Be Frank", I prepared myself to say goodbye to a band I had come to love and support over the years. I think releasing a full-on cover-album was a 'no go' for a band who was always criticised for singing cover songs... But, as they say, "you learn from your mistakes".
"Face To Face" sees Westlife on a great, new level. The vocals are definitely more mature and experienced. I must say that the real eye(/ear)-opener ... ...good grasp on his voice from the start, but this album definitely highlights the amazing vocal capabilities he has and the emotion he puts into his singing. Shane's voice continuous to bring in the pop element to the group, but he is lacking a lot of feel in the music. Kian and Nicky continue to provide those rich, harmonies that make Westlife who they are. This is Westlife's first (semi-)"original" album without Bryan and I personally feel his voice ...

Advantages: Good singing, Different Songs, pop music Disadvantages: May not be to some peoples taste of music, may not like the band
I like this album. Westlife are my favourite group. They sing really good whatever music they decide to choose. This album is for people that like Westlife. I have a boyfriend and he likes Westlife and this album. This album proves that they can sing on their own. Shane is singing really good on this album. I like the song "You raise me up" I feel that it is the best song on the album. This album is different from any other albums slightly because ...

Album Notes: 'Face To Face' is the seventh studio album from Westlife and their first as a four piece since the departure of Brian McFadden in March 2004. The album sticks to the winning formula that has graced their previous releases - a mix of contemporary adult pop and heartfelt ballads. Guest vocals also come from Mariah Carey and the legendary Diana Ross.
Titles on disc 1
1.: You Raise Me Up
2.: When You Tell Me That You Love Me - Westlife & Diana Ross
