Full review
You won’t be surprised by Westlife’s debut album. It starts with the singles (Swear It Again, If I Let You Go, Flying Without Wings, Fool Again) before the only relatively upbeat song arrives – No No, and is also one of the best on this album. The songs stay single quality right up to Seasons In The Sun (track 10) but after that the songs become less memorable and more unoriginal, as well as the quality of the lyrics deteriorating. Anyhow, it’s a pleasant album, but I certainly wouldn’t say fantastic or memorable. However their poor version of I Have A Dream is not here at least; to get that on an album you have to get Abbamania, the album from the TV programme that the song originally featured on.
