Amazon.co.uk Review
Far from collapsing after the departure of founder member Brian McFadden, Irish boy-band Westlife have gone from strength to strength. In the last two years they've undertaken successful tours, delivered top-notch singles and albums and generally behaved like the optimistic, non-stop pop sensations they are. Having recently inked a new five-album deal with Sony, this trend looks set to continue well into the future too. The Love Album, their eighth studio LP, sees the band offer something a little different. Covering 11 of what they consider to be the greatest love songs of all time, it presents a mix of classics and less obvious choices. The album begins with lead single, "The Rose", a reworking of Bette Midler's 80s smash hit, and proceeds idiosyncratically but smoothly through Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart", The Commodores' languorous "Easy" and evergreen ballads such as Kasey Cisyk's "You Light Up My Life" and Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful (To Me)". There's also a sterling collaboration with Aussie pop princess Delta Goodrem - a cover of Air Supply's "All Out Of Love" - and a rousing rendition of the Righteous Brothers hit "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" to wrap things up nicely. Along with mistletoe and candlelight, this is an Xmas must-have for all incurable romantics.--Danny McKenna

This album is different to any of their others, as it seems to be a weird selection of solo performances by Shane and Mark (not complaining on the Mark point). Some of the tracks do mix the vocals, but in large part, the Cutie Blondes (their official names) are basically missing. Even when there are backing vocals by them, you can rarely even recognise their voices.
Having Mark singing, using more of his amazing potential (particularly on track 2) is fantastic to hear. His voice is effortless and has a sense of soul that I don't think Shane's does, however great. So again, not complaining here. It is odd though that the album is solo/duo/band/hint of 'boyband'. As a whole, it feels as though two seperate artists collaborated (and maybe brought a couple of mates - or were they on holiday somewhere?)... so yeah, kinda odd.
Now the choice of tracks is no suprise and it could have been truly awful, though Shane stretching his range and style in his vocals and as previously mentioned Mark being allowed to shine and not hold back as much as usual, saves this album for me.
Only 3 stars, (wish I could have given it 3 1/2) because it still is what it is - Westlife doing what people find irritating about them; singing predictable songs, which are covers and still not showing what they could really do and blast out of 'easy pop'. They could prove people wrong with one album - but they don't. Watch them live or on DVD on tour and you see so much more talent than on any recorded album. Shame.
Oh... and the irony of Westlife releasing a love song album?! Like Eminem releasing a rap album. I had a little chuckle... then bought it. Hmm...

I have to apologise first for being so late to buy this Album.I said it's better late than never.
Exactly what I ever want to listen to.These amazing vocals and especially Mark.How does he make that?I tell U if U fans fail to buy this Album and listen to ``The Total Eclipse, The Dance, and You have lost that Love feeling''to mention but a few,U don't know what you'll be missing.Whenever I play this CD I feel Marks'presence in the house and it brings another cool Atmosphere.You are so adorable Lads,not only the way you look but also the way you sing.Whatever song U choose to play or cover I will always listen coz listening to U brings me a feeling of hope,I don't know how to explain this!!!But it really gives me alot of strength in Life.BELEIVE IT OR NOT.
Another point.I read some negative reviews earlier and I'd wonder what some of these people do in Westlife sites.For me if I didn't like an Artist,I'd never go to his site!For which Interest!!I think they are either paid to do so, or Jealous of our attractive,disciplined,modern and styled Boys.
I love them Westlife.

Music for people who don't like music....
Like Phil Collins in the 80s, Westlife just don't seem to know when they should quietly go away. Covering insipid, mawkish love songs is just not a cool thing to do, though they've... Read more
