A Westlife fan...but
Both had incredibly powerful ballads, such as "We Are One", "Total Eclipse of The Heart", and "Flying Without Wings". I first came to know Westlife through their "Love" album and secondly through their self-titled debut album. Yet this, their third album, is heartbreakingly shallow. Only "Angel" and "Queen of My Heart" are memorable; the rest can be written off as the worst of boyband pop. .


FABULOSO
Fantástico album para los seguidores de este grupo irlandes que nos les va a decepcionar. De nuevo Westlife nos muestra de lo que son capaces. Como siempre se trata de un album con muchísimas canciones a cual mejor. Ademas 7 de las canciones han sido escritas o co-escritas por ellos mismos. Fantásticas canciones que levantan el ánimo a cualquiera como "Bop Bop Baby", "World of our own", "Don't let me go", y baladas que nos elevan al cielo como "If your heart's not in it", "I wanna grow old with you" e incluso una canción poco comun como "Imaginary Diva" en la que los chicos se atreven a sorprender a sus fans con un estilo muy diferente a lo que nos tienen acostumbrados.
En general, un album que no puede faltar en tu colección. De veras. . . , te va a encantar.


IWANNA GROW OLD WITH YOU
ALL THE STARS ARE TALENTED AND HOPE TO HEAR SOME NEW ALBUMS . THIS SONG IS ATOUCHING ONE WITH ASLOW RYTHM IT REALLY MADE ME REALISE OUT THERE , THAT ALL ALONG THE WEST LIFE EXISTED BUT IDID NOT KNOW.
ANY ONE SHOULD TRY THEIR ALBUMS ESPECIALLY WORLD OF OUR OWN ALL THE LYRICS ARE JUST THE ONES ONE NEEDS TO LISTEN TO AND FEELS ON TOP OF THE WORLD.


A quite good album from Westlife! Worth buying...
But the guys have really made an amazing album, which I now find better than the two previous ones. Since I found Westlifes' first album better than the second one, I was quite skeptical to this third album. But again, there are so many tracks. This time it's 18 tracks, but since the last songs ain't that good it's quite okay this time. The boys have also written (and co-written) some tracks, and that's really impressive. 'Bop Bop Baby' is a really good song. It's an up-tempo song with a cool bridge to the chorus. I especially like when Mark sings "when I called you at home. . . ". Another favourite is a song called 'Evergreen'. It can be compared to 'Try Again' on the 'Westlife' album. Evergreen has that magic I can't put my finger on. Then of course we've got 'World of Our Own' with another Mark-bridge to the chorus. 'I Wanna Grow Old With You' is a song the boys have written by themselves, and it ain't that much to brag about. The lyric is quite ridiculous, unlike another song Westlife has written. It's called 'Imaginary Diva' and has an amazing lyric. Unfortunately, the song honestly sucks. It has kind of a Destinys Child beat, and is just not Westlife. I don't know what they're doing there, and I don't think they know either. On the first album I complained about the fact that Kian and Nicky sang very little. They really show that they have voices in their own song 'Don't Let Me Go', which is one of my absolutely favorites, not only on the album.


Lacking
There's no denying that this group can sing. Westlife recently notched up their 10th #1 in the UK equalling with queen of reinvention, Madonna. But there are a few problems. For starters, each album release tends to be too long. Therefore, more of the same stuff only degrades what was established before. There's an imbalance of uptempo and ballads. This album, like their previous two releases, is still relatively ballad heavy. No denying that the ballads are great, but too much of the same thing makes it tedious and tiring to listen to the same thing over and over. Thirdly, if I didn't look at the CD cover, I thought this was a solo act. All you hear is Mr Filan singing and no one else, occasionally with Mark chirping in on the bridges. So yeah, there is an imbalance when it comes to the sharing of the vocals. There are however, I mean, there has to be, out of the seventeen available, some songs that are listenable. Not unlike many of the earlier reviewers, I agree with them on the sense that the following are the stand outs:
1. Queen Of My Heart - despite the ballad that it is, it's a lot slower than any of their previous ballads and the harmony is great as usual.
2. World Of Our Own - uptempo title track which also became the seconds single is something different. Similar to "When You're Looking Like That" and less cheesy than "Uptown Girl", the lyrics really shine through and that's what makes this track stand out.

However, I think that praising ends here. The rest of the album fits into either option number one or option number two. Therefore, the single releases from the album are a true representation of what the album really is made of, I mean, if you like more of the same thing, feel free to explore into the rest of the album, if not, just wait until the greatest hits set drop this coming Christmas and you have all the best of Westlife in one CD.
