Westlife - World of Our Own

The boys take a major artistic leap forward with their end of the year 2001 extravaganza recorded in London, Ireland and Sweden. Includes a heartfelt cover of Sarah McLachlan's 'Angel'. Album Description

A fan of Westlife...but

I first came to know Westlife through their "Love" album and secondly through their self-titled debut album. Both had incredibly powerful ballads, such as "We Are One", "Total Eclipse of The Heart", and "Flying Without Wings". Yet this, their third album, is heartbreakingly shallow. Only "Angel" and "Queen of My Heart" are memorable; the rest can be written off as the worst of boyband pop. February 4, 2008

What America is missing!!!

I am an avid fan of WESTLIFE from the beginning. Through the years, countless singles have made it all the way to UK number 1, i still remain a devoted fan. Every single they released is a pure pop, very melodic, and soon to be classic. I say classic because to this day i still play the CD they released years ago. Now how many of us still plays CDs we bought years ago? Their music is very catchy, brings love in the air, and just put a smile on your face with each listening. I can't help but memorized each songs. Just take a listen to Amazon's sample booth and be mesmerized!!! July 28, 2007

Extremely girly, but still a great album

It's girly, yes. It's a boy band, yeah. But this CD made a bunch of bucks, in the US and Europe. It's got 17 tracks, one of the a remake of "Angel". The best part is that it's a great gift for your girl if she's a fan; the album that led Westlife to the light of the day. May 15, 2007

Another Awesome Album From Westlife

Okay this review is basically going to be a song by song kinda deal...

QUEEN OF MY HEART- This is a great song. Perfect choice for the first single released for the album.
BOP BOP BABY- I love this song. And it's even better that it was written by Shane and Bryan. The video is cool, too.
I CRY- I love Mark in this song. So soulful.
WHY DO I LOVE YOU- This is a great song as well. Are we seeing a theme here? I can just picture the dance moves when I hear "Why do I love you like I do..Like I always do" LOL.
I WANNA GROW OLD WITH YOU- I love this song. Such a strong ballad and you can totally tell that these guys wrote this while missing their ladies. I like how Nicky gets a few lines here, too.
EVERGREEN- Not the best song on the album but it has grown on me. I don't really get how you make a night evergreen, though. :)
WORLD OF OUR OWN- This is the song I look forward to every time I play this CD. It is perfectly mixed with perfect singing. I like how Shane's voice gets raspy at times. And Mark is once again amazing here.
TO BE LOVED- This is actually a song where I thought to myself "Hey, that could be a good first dance song for a wedding". One of the best ballads they have done, in my opinion.
DRIVE- I like how this song is a bit different than the rest. They have that part where it's almost a cappella that I love.
IF YOUR HEART'S NOT IN IT- Another song I look forward to when I listen to this CD. Every line sounds so heartfelt.
WHEN YOU COME AROUND- I have to say I haven't listened to this song as much as the others. But I do love the beat in the background. And it's a song that makes you feel happy.
DON'T SAY IT'S TOO LATE- I like this song. Not my favorite, but it has grown on me.
DON'T LET ME GO- Again, I'm glad Nicky and Kian get some lines in this song.
WALK AWAY- I like the sound of "If you want a man that is here to stay..." Good song.
LOVE CRIME- I'm not crazy about it, but it's a good solid song. Takes some getting used to.
IMAGINARY DIVA- I LOVE this song. I didn't at first, but I do now. Again, Mark's voice (and songwriting) is amazing.
ANGEL- I do like this song, but it has been soooo overplayed in the US that I'm not crazy about it. I do think that Westlife did a great job covering it though. It is not an easy song to sing.

Overall, I think this album is definitely a must-have for any pop music fan. And what I love about it is that it is a great CD for working out. The treadmill is much more bearable while this CD is playing. :) January 30, 2006

Better Than N*Sync or The Backstreet Boys!

I am older and since then, I've kind of been out of the whole boy band or N*Sync thing but, Westlife is an exception. Westlife the U.K's version of N*Sync and the Backstreet Boys is actually better than both groups. With beautiful music, charm, and actual singing ability! This group has all the thing most boy bands lack... and in fact, we the U.S.A are missing out are this worldwide hit group(although we in the U.S.A never catched on to them). This in my opinon is well-worth it's price-tag and perfect gift for any teen or pre-teen girl! Parents buy this one if you've got a daughter who is a pop fantic and N*Sync fans beware this group can sing! February 20, 2005
