Product Description

CD Description
After successfully effecting one of the greatest pop comebacks in history, boyband-turned-credible vocal group Take That release their fifth studio album, the second after their return. Led, as ever, by the songwriting talents of svengali Gary Barlow, this release is similarly epic and romantic to its predecessor (2006's 'Beautiful World'), with songs such as 'What Is Love', 'How Did It Come To This' and the single 'Greatest Day' standing out most. Producer John Shanks returns for a second collaboration with the boys, repeating the success of his work with them on 'Beautiful World'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real progress; brilliant!, 7 Dec 2008
By C. Whyatt "Music Lover" (Wargrave, Berkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a fifty something brought up on The Beatles I am not your typical Take That fan, but despite this, I have always liked them, especially since the comeback.

This is a terrific album - great songs, beautifully sung, beautifully performed, beautifully produced - a triumph.

It is actually more Coldplay that the Take That of Roobie era fame.

Open your mind and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real grower, 15 Dec 2008
By J. Hunt (Leeds) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Track by track after two weeks listening:
The Garden: Draws you in and makes you feel good to be alive. Would have been a great Christmas single.
Greatest Day: A nice homage to U2 (Where the Streets Have no Name.) Liked it the first time I heard it. Still do.
Hello: Not convinced to begin with. Driving down the motorway in the sunshine, it was suddenly a great singalong track.
Said it All: Gorgeous. Nuff Said.
Julie: Felt sad about something at work. Listened to 'Julie'. Felt happy again.
The Circus: Beautiful in its simplicity
How Did it Come to This: Autobiographical? A great performance of a cleverly worded track. One of my favourites.
Up All Night: Fabulous live
What Is Love: Howard comes precariously close to perfection with this one.
You: The only track I have yet to warm to. Too formulaic for me. Sorry!
Hold up a light: Not my favourite vocal but it'll be a killer live then a great memory thereafter.
Here: Fab-u-lous. Play it on repeat.
She said: A Strictly special. Simply lovely and great fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars super smashing great, 7 Dec 2008
By Jonathan Carr "joncarr" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I don't know why I like this. I never got into them the last time around. And there is something weird about men getting on for 40 who are discussing things in this way. Frank Sinatra talked about men and women, work and power, love and all that. You won't get that here. But it is great fun. It's just sooo boyish. Will they not grow up ever?

Definitely a more 'grown up' Take That comes across on this album than on their earlier albums. There are echoes of The Beatles and Coldplay in some of the tracks. Read more
