Wow! I purchased the album this week after seeing Mark in Manchester a few weeks ago and after just 24 hours of the album being in my hands, I am already a big fan of it. "Green Man" didn't do much for me really apart from Clementine, and "In Your Own Time" was a very listenable album, but his latest work is a total triumph and one that Mark should be very very proud of. Tracks to shout about could easily include all of them, but I really do favour "They Do" "Hail Mary" and the intro to "Wasting Away" is just beautiful, I remember hearing that for the first time at the gig and the whole room stood silent in awe of its great craftsmanship. Mark has proven with writing and co-writing this entire album that he is truly a great songsmith and I can't wait for future work from Mark. He certainly hasn't fallen and I think he'll be in the industry for a long long time.

Sitting in my friends room, three songs came on in a row. I believe they were four minute warning, child and believe in the boogie. I was instantly entralled. I asked him who it was that I was listening to, never expecting the answer I was to hear...Mark Owen...yes, ex of Take That Mark Owen! So decided to get his album and give it a go and to be honest, the boys done good. I honestly believe that had he never been in Take That, Mark would have a much better reputation and solo career then he does now. One thing he does have is far more talent then Robbie Williams. Give Mark a shot and I am sure you will be pleasently surprised.

I've been a fan since day one and he never disapoints! Every track is one for the "repeat" button and if like me, when it isn't in your Sterio at home, it'll be in your car. Buy it and support him so we can keep having more of the same! Saw him in a gig recently - He really delivers, just like his album.

He just gets better and better!
I thought that "In Your Own Time" was the definitive Mark Owen album. Wrong! Along comes "How the Mighty Fall" and it's as good, or, dare I say, even better. Read more

Extraordinary
I bought this album because I heard an interview with Robbie Williams in which he called Mark Owen and his song writing "genius" and I was interested to find out more. Read more

One of the most unique albums I've heard in a long time
This is an excellent album and highly recommended. It's very different to Mark's 1st album "Green Man" - which I also enjoyed - which had a very Britpop feel to it and in some... Read more

Unexpectedly brilliant
I was never a Take That fan and stumbled on this by chance. This album is an absolute gem! Mark's voice is somewhat quirky but the songs suit it perfectly. Read more
