Westlife aren’t exactly full of surprises. If they were maybe we wouldn’t be here discussing the release of their ninth (yes, NINTH!) album, another sure-fire number 1 a staggering eight years after their first. Barely breaking sweat at any point over their career, slow and steady wins the race it seems--and song after song after song of just-so pro-forma arm-waving heartache fits that bill. Flip them over and you’ll find guarantees tattooed to their spines--and you can’t knock them for sticking to the rule-sheet like good boy scouts, can you? Of course they’re boys no longer, not that you should expect amendments owing to that fact. Their sound has been afforded maturity in recent years and we get a smooth continuation of that on Back Home, particularly evident on "I’m Already There" as they sing earnestly of missing their kids when away from home as emotions swell courtesy of climbing orchestration and cracking voices. Their voices cradle each other in their famously supportive Motown-aping style throughout, but particularly on "Have You Ever" as Shane steps ahead and aims beyond Ronan Keating’s heights with his keen lead. The album’s token upbeat song "The Easy Way" almost surges into N-Sync territory with a perky horn section, but your pulse needn’t be alarmed. There are no immediately obvious additions to their greatest hits canon (perhaps the Michael Buble penned "Home", given time), but Back Home will reinforce whatever it is you think about Westlife–-guaranteed. --James Berry

Customer Reviews

WESTLIFE
very pleased with service and item quality. New Westlife Album is another fantastic listen as always

FINALLY BACK HOME!!
I have been a serious Westlife fan for 9 years now! I LOVE them very very much and held on through the last 3 albums. Clinching because most of the songs on the other albums were covers. BUT OH WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY! THIS CD IS SOOOOOOO GOOD! Back home makes you feel back home with Westlife, the style of the music, the kind of lyrics we are used to them singing, and even some surprises. I love everything about this CD. I put it on and could not turn it off, in fact I am listening to "the Easy Way" as I write this. The surprsing R&B track "When I'm With You" is wonderfuly arranged and produced. Each song sounds crisp and as if the boys never missed a beat! If you love Westlife, you will not be disapointed! I know I am not!

Not their best album
I'm a big fan of Westlife, but I don't think that this album is their best. The songs are OK, but they don't really stand out as special like so many on their older albums. If you like the Westlife sound, check out the group "D-Side" for a similar sound and style. Their latest album "Gravity" is full of the kind of powerful songs that are the Westlife trademark.
