The Boys Are Back!


…. And they’re getting better with age…

Having being pretty blown away by Beautiful World, I was wondering if Take That could top it. And yes, they can. Being an avid fan might make me bias, but this is a stunning album. Admittedly, it took a while to get past the first track The Garden which I played repeatedly - it's awesome. The album as a whole carries on where Beautiful World left off, albeit with slightly more emphasis on developing their 'new sound', which does mean a further move away from 'cheesy pop'. All the vocals are strong, Gary being fantastic as usual, Howard always consistent and with even Mark & Jason sounding credible. I think this could well be an album that is huge, not just with existing fans, but that large group of skeptical 30 somethings, who until now, refuse to believe that Take That are anything more than a manufactured boy band.
I’m here listening to it and cannot stop. Maybe - sadly enough - TT are the only ones than can cheer me up at the moment, except for my children of course
…And today I really need cheering up!

Thanks for your comments, dear friends. I've have some unpleasant tests done today, that's why I was rather down yesterday. Now I'm back on my feet. When I'm down I listen to music and it usually helps me a bit. Have a nice weekend!. A.

Hi Antonella, I hope you are feeling better after having the tests. Hope you get your results very soon. I have to admit to liking Take That this time around. They were GOOD the first time but it wasn`t really my type of music. Now they`ve grown up they sound great and I must admit they are rather good looking too...lol! ;o)
Mind you, my daughter is their biggest fan and has been from the very beginning, I`ve bought her the bnew album for Christmas. :o)

Love Sandra xxxx
