Oh my god! How happy was I when I seen the take that documentary that aired in November 2005. It was great that they were so honest about there take that days and to see what really goes on behind the scenes and stuff. As most of you probably know Take that was a massive boyband back in the 90s consisting of 5 members. Robbie Williams who left the boyband just 6 months before they split, has none gone on to superstardom and is one the best selling uk solo artists at our time. Mark Owen went on to release a couple of solo albums which failed and was later dropped by his management company, he then went on to celebrity big brother in 2002 or maybe 2003…I cant quite remember. He won and again tried another hand at a solo career although he hasn't done too badly he still hasn't quite conquered the career that Robbie has. Gary Barlow went on to have a solo career but it didn't last long, but he hasn't went back to a normal day job he is a really successful song writer and over the years has written many great songs including a couple for Blue and Charlotte Church. I wasn't quite sure what Jason Orange and Howard Donald has been up to though. Anyway I was even more happy when I discovered that they had released an album and was going on tour. Being only 11 years old when they split in 1995 I was never really old enough to go to their concert, so I am really glad this comeback has happened.
Ok now on to reviewing
there Album which they also released in November 2005. It is called Take That "Never Forget". Its basically a greatest hits album!
This song contains 19 tracks and lasts for just over 1 hour and 15 mins.
Track 1. Never Forget
This isn't one of my favourite take that songs but I suppose a really good track to start off the album as they are kinda saying never forget us…even though we have been gone for 10 years you haven't forgotten us!
Track 2. Back for good
This was the last take that song that was released with Robbie still in the band…this track was released in early 1995 and Robbie later left the band in the summer of 1995 when he started to become really friendly and hang around at Glastonbury and stuff. This wasn't seen as a suitable way for a member of a boyband to behave and as storys were told Robbie was forced to quit the band!
Track 3. how deep is your love.
This was take that's final single. On 13th February 1996 the boys announced through a press release that they were calling it a day and that their final single would be a cover of the beegees how deep is your love. To me this was really disappointing thinking back now that they said goodbye to their fans with a cover version! Not my favourite song!
Track 4 - Pray
This song came from take that's first ever album released in 1993 and although there first album went sort of unnoticed by many the release of pray was the making of take that and was also there first uk hit. is it any wonder it got the attention with the video…take that virtually naked dancing around on a beach somewhere!
Track 5 - Relight my fire
this sung was a duet with LuLu and for that reason along i hate this song...lulu really annoys me! i cant stand the woman! Although this song did reach number 1 in the uk charts!
Track 5 - Everything Changes Possibly my favourite take that song of all times. Mainly because Robbie had lead! but it was just such an uptempo and great song! I still knew every word of this song 10 years on. this was also a number 1 in the UK and also around Europe and Canada!
Track 6 - Babe Aww such a sweet song! Little Mark Owen singing a Solo. I dont know anyone.....well any take that fan who didnt adore this song and love Mark Owen even more when he sang it!
Track 7 - It only takes a minute girl again another great song! This is the kinda song that you want to dance around your living room too! This is a cover song by Tavares and reached number 7 in the UK.
Track 8 - A million love songs Such a great love song. Only reached number 10 in the charts at its release which must have been really disappointing but later climbed to number 2 after the boys won 7 smash hits awards for this song and other things.
Track 9 - Could it be magic released in 1993 and was a cover of barry manilow song. I didnt know that until just then when i did my investaging and research for this review! Please tell me i wasnt the only dumb person who didnt know that !!
Track 10 - Why cant i wake up with you! Sexy Video! Reached number 2 and Take that won a brit award for best british single for this song! interesting!
Track 11 - Love Aint here anymore! i love this song! just realised ive said that for lots of songs on this album! dont really know what else to write about it though apart from that its great!
Track 12 - I found Heaven This song has a great little beat to it! I found heaven sweet heaven baby.....lalalala!! haha! Cant wait to see them perform this song in concert when i go to the manchester gig in may!
Track 13 - Promises This was the first single they released since the uproar that the video for do what you like was released and only scraped into the top 40. Take that then went on to do a tour of gay clubs to boost their fan base!
Track 14 - Once youve tasted love The third single they released! Only reached number 47 in the charts! disappointing! obviously the tour of gay clubs didnt get them that much fans!
Track 15 - Pray - Live in Berlin I didnt really see the point in them putting this on the album as we already had pray on the album! why didnt they fill the CD up with Take that and party or Do what you like???
Track 16 - Relight my fire (element remix) BORING!
Track 17 - Today ive lost you This track has never been released this would be a follow up to back for good! if they hadnt split we might have heard this song 10 years ago! its a shame they did because its such a great song and so meanful! They finally recording this song in September 2005(so i imagine its minus robbie).
i would definatly recommend this cd to anyone who liked or even remembers take that! its available from all record stores priced at around £9.99. Hope you all enjoyed my review and to anyone who is going to see them on tour, have fun! i know i will!!
