Solid album
It is easily their best album so far in their career. The Corrs second CD TALK ON CORNERS put the Irish group further into the pop music stratosphere. Filled with radio friendly hits like "What Can I Do", "Only When I Sleep", "I Never Loved You Anyway", "So Young" and a great cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams". This Special Edition of the cd features their singles in remixed form. Also a bonus track, a remix of Runaway which was later rereleased as a single in 1999. Other highlights include "Don't Say You Love Me", "Hopelessly Addicted", "When He's Not Around" and "Love Gives, Love Takes". Overall a great pop album! .


For all who likes to be remixed ;)
And guess what happened! All the original versions were replaced by these remixes and the "Talk On Corners Special Edition" was made. Talk On Corners album went successfuly in many of countries and several singles taken of it were remixed. To be honest, I don't like this way. I can't understand it what led to remix (and make worst. . . ) Runaway of debut Forgiven, Not Forgotten so it is to be found here also. Other songs are the same, without any change, so here is the question if the album is worthwile to buy just because of five remixes. . . on the other hand - all the remix fanatics will be pleased for sure. . .

Songs review:

What Can I Do (Tin Tin Out remix) - even though I don't like remixes, this is quite good - a combination of strings and percussions sounds well. . .

So Young (K-Klass mix) - I cannot say this remix is bad; even though hasn't added any improvement, it is interesting, because this in this version there is one more verse! So we can enjoy 30 seconds more of optimism and happiness of life. . .

Dreams (Tee's radio) - oh my God! This style doesn't fit The Corrs in any way! The melodic song was defiled by various techno and electronic sounds which made it good only for night club party, sorry. . .

I Never Loved You Anyway (remix) - a bit different arrangement, for those who aren't musical enought, probably difference unable to hear. What's a pity, the song ends up with: "I'm delighted you're moving away" and what was the best, the instrumental epilogue. . . is simply away. . .

Runaway (Tin Tin Out remix) - the original version is sweet, but still pleasant to listen. The most beautiful was the gradation "I would runaway with you. . . " and the following guitar mini-solo - which I'm missing so much in this remix. It was a connection between this verse and refrain, now this sounds very unnaturally. What a shame.


Excellent pop -
It's appalling that they haven't sold a zillion records here in the US. You can't get any luckier than this unless you're the Osmonds or the Jacksons - a family with good looks, great hooks, musicianship, style and grace. Perhaps it's because they've been "marketed" as an Irish group -- yet the Irishness is only incidental. Andrea Corr has an unmistakable voice and the group writes very polished pop songs; nothing heavy, mind you, just enjoyable. They have more musical depth to them than most prefabricated pop groups and these sibling can really play. This album is their best by far. . . let's hope they continue.


breathless
Since it was on sale, i said what the hell. My friend recommended this CD to me when I was in London. After I heard it, I was totally hook. It was just too bad that when i got back to the States, they are not as widely known. But i am always looking forward to their new CD or DVD. Futhermore, you get some extra songs that are not release in the US version.


"Of Corrs", this is the best album, if you pardon the pun !!

Some facts 'bout this CD version of "Talk On Corners":

***The version of 'Dreams' alone is a reason to get this record;

***It is pretty much of the same vintage as was their famous album "Forgiven Not Forgotten". I know this CD has became harder to find, but I think we should take into consideration the two sides of the coin. Unlike the Special Edition and, for what it's worth, their album "In Blue", more pop-oriented(quite good still different), this album retains much of the Irish accents and folkish qualities that make them so unique;

***The original version of 'What Can I Do' (on the present CD) is, in my opinion, much more better than the remix on the current Special Edition album. Vocals, in particular, are much more vivid. One listen and you'll know the difference;

***At last, a good point for all the possible versions of "Talk On Corners": there is the song 'No Good For Me', enough good for me (and one of my favourite tracks), a solid rocking tune packed with a memorable presence by the melodic violin of Sharon Corr. An other good reason as to know why this CD has become a great sought-after recording of Pop Music. Incidentally, I prefer this side of the Corrs.
