Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

It's been a long ten years since Take That disbanded. Their recent reformation and world tour offered overwhelming evidence that, far from being forgotten, the post-Robbie quartet can still command hysterical amounts of goodwill and adoration. Beautiful World illustrates why this is so. Written in conjunction with songwriter/producer John Shanks (Ashlee Simpson, Anastacia, Alanis Morissette), the album is crammed full with the songwriting magic that made their rise to fame so meteoric in the first place. Far from being an exercise in nostalgia, the project moves the band in a slightly new direction. The four come across as more mature, more democratic (all members share songwriting credits on the album, rather than just Barlow), and even more adept at making epic pop that somehow avoids the cheese factor. Lead single "Patience" is a perfect example of how powerful and accessible their songs can be. It'd be a good contender for the album's peak moment if the rest of the tracks weren't so damn good too. With traditional Take That style songs (the immediately likeable "Reach Out", the brimming "Like I Never Loved You At All"), nicely punctuated up by incongruous outings like Jason Orange's folkish "Wooden Boat" and Mark's upbeat, Beatles-esque "Shine", Beautiful World sets a whole new standard for a band previously known more for their singles than their long-players.--Danny McKenna


CD Description

Following a ten year gap from the pop scene, 2006 saw Take That embark on a massively successful UK tour which led to an award for Best Live Return at the Vodafone Live Music Awards. Each member of the band (minus Robbie Williams) made a contribution to the writing of this release giving it a contemporary feel. The top 40 single, 'Patience', is included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful World indeed!, 14 Jun 2007
By N. Bardhanray (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was fairly indifferent to Take That's previous material -- with the exception of "Back For Good" -- and wasn't sure whether or not to buy the new album purely on the strength of "Shine". I'm glad I did. It's a great album to de-stress to. The lyrics are beautiful and I think the music more mature than their previous stuff. There's quite a good mix from the traditional ballads, through to the Beatlesque Shine to the folky Wooden Boat, which personally I love, and I like that all 4 members of the band get to sing. Although I never missed them, I say Welcome Back Take That!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, 9 Feb 2007
By Mrs. Dianne Gibb (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Well what can I say the boys are better than EVER!
Howards wee grace in Mancunian way was sooooooooo sweet!
I think this album is their very best. Wooden boat has a very cool country/folk sound and I cried with I'd wait for life.
Shine and Hold on are undeniably marks best vocals.
I would recommend this to anyone even folk that were not die hard fans back in the olde days!

Welcome back MEN!

5.0 out of 5 stars welcome back boys!, 9 Dec 2006
By S. Firth (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
how brill is it to have these lads back! my sister was always a bigger fan of them than i was because she was older but i did love their old stuff, and now that they have matured, i think this album works so well.

it took time and a few listens for 'Patience' to grow on me but it has. my faves on the album are 'shine' and it has mark's fab voice singing it. it's such a happy song. and 'wooden boat' is sang beautifully by jason. and 'like i never loved you' is gorgeous.

it's a brill album and i recommend it to everyone. i actually think these boys are better with age and better without Robbie Williams, as much as i love him also. he's better solo. these guys are better together. :)
