Advantages: plenty of power ballads to choose from!
Disadvantages: hardly any upbeat tracks, some can sound the same

...albums out since this one, Coast To Coast is still my favourite. Westlife consists of Kian Egan, Shane Filan, Mark Feehily (from Sligo, Ireland) and Nicky Byrne from Dublin. Bryan McFadden was involved in this album, but he has since left the band. They've been around for 7-8 years which I personally think is outstanding for a boyband, as most barely get to the 4 year mark. They've had so many number ones in the UK I've lost count and they've performed ... Read review

Advantages: Loads of fantastic songs
Disadvantages: none

I have been a huge fan of Westlife since they were supporting Boyzone on tour, and listened to their last album non-stop (really!!). It was a great relief to my parents when this superb album came out as it was something different for me to listen to! The album is definately different from "Westlife", but that isn't a bad think, as they are getting into a different, nore up-beat sound which will please some people who believe they can only sing ...

Advantages: Everything except Dreams Come True
Disadvantages: Not enough of Kian and Nicky singing

...thrilled when I found out Coast to Coast was out!! Coast to Coast is Westlife’s newest and second album, and it’s fantastic! With eighteen songs on it anyone who liked their first album will love this. There are three of their past seven singles on it - My Love, Against All Odds (feat. Mariah Carey) and I Have A Dream - and their forthcoming one What Makes A Man, which are all brilliant. But my favourites are the lovely Puzzle of My Heart and Angel’s ... Read review

Advantages: some great songs, nineteen tracks, four hit singles included
Disadvantages: samey, not much variety

...some remote island off the coast of nowhere - are five Irish lads - Mark, Shane, Kian, Nicky and Brian. They have had their first seven singles go straight into the charts at number one. Their eighth number one attempt was cruelly thwarted by that musical talent that is - Bob the Builder. Oh well, that's pop ! This album contains one of my favourite songs of the year - My Love, which I believe is a real quality song, almost a modern anthem - but ... Read review

Advantages: ok
Disadvantages: manufactured

If you are a music fan and appreciate music, then like me you must be a bit upset that all the music being produced is so weak and so manufactured. I was listening to ‘Help’ by the Beatles and compare it to any of Westlife ’s song none come near it. The Beatles didn’t have expensive videos, in fact the song made the video, just excellent lyrics that will last. However, it’s sad state of affairs that Westlife can even be compared to the ...

Advantages: The only way now is DOWN!!!!!!
Disadvantages: Do I need to say more.

So people on this page have given Westlife 5 starts out of five have they? Good for you. as you better enjoy them while they last - I can guarantee that in 5 years or so this group will be another in a long line of sad artists who are only looked back on to ridicule - remember the Bay City Rollers - laughed at now - well step forward Westlife to take their crown - I personally find it disgusting that a group who don't put any input into their music ...

Advantages: music to suit all moods
Disadvantages: unfortunately stereotyped into 'another boy band group'

...proud owner of their album Coast to Coast itself I have the next best thing, my sister kindly taped it for me last week. Although I think they're a talented group of good looking lads I'm not your average girly fan (sadly outgrown that stage) though I would do anything for a moment on cloud 9 with their original creator the dearest Ronan Keating... come on girls I mean how gorgeous is he? now there's one young fellow that I could be convinced to ...

Advantages: Brilliant tunes, Long Lasting Appeal.
Disadvantages: Some may be put off by another "BOY BAND" offering

The album Coast to Coast is truly amazing!Westlife have come up trumps with this offering of musical wizardrey. Such tracks as "What makes a man" & "Against all Odds" are brilliant and some of the best I have heard in a long time. The album is made up of extremley addictive tunes and heart wrenching lyrics which really make you want to hold your loved one. I have listened to this album over and over again and I never get tired of it, infact, it seems ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant CD, great tracks
Disadvantages: That awful Mariah Carey cover of the Phil Collins classic

A terrific second album from Westlife - I'm not surprised that it shot straight to No. 1. This album shows that they've moved past the Ronan Keating influence to be even better than Boyzone at their best. With the sole exception of the Mariah Carey cover of Phil Collins' classic Against All Odds, this is a great album. The second single, My Love, is a great ballad, and I was very pleased to see that followed up by one of my favourite tracks from this ... Read review

Advantages: 2 Good Songs
Disadvantages: Dire, Unoriginal

I know that this group is from the same country as Boyzone but the more I hear there song the more they sound like boyzone. The reason that Westlife have enjoyed the success over the recent years is because the songs they have brought out have been of quite good quality, however the songs which are new on the album are unoriginal and nothing that we havent heard before from this boyband. If this is a sign of releases to come then Westlife reign ... Read review

Advantages: Would make good shopping tannoy music, good length to the disc
Disadvantages: Surely all the songs are the same

I'm going to be mobbed! I don't like Westlife, and I don't like their album! No doubt, I shall regret that with a huge influx of unhelpful ratings, but I just cannot compare the achievements of Westlife, with the achievements of the Beatles (again, not a band I particularly like, but do admire for their musical talent) whose record of seven number 1 hits in 20 months has been recently broken by Westlife. Until Westlife start writing all their own ... Read review
