SPOILERS! Kian Fans might hate me..
I did warn you!
I'll do my review track-by-track ;D
1. Beautiful Tonight - not really a fan of this song. I can't go with the beat, and the chorus bit seemed a bit too "noisy" to be the Westlife I know..
2. Safe - ok, this might be biased but I do not like this song at all! It's a poor choice for a first single and if I may say... the video wasn't any good either.
3. Chances - I dunno. I've encountered this song twice on my playlist and skipped it both times.
4. I Will Reach You - I fell in love with this song the first time! I've thought this would be my fave off the alb but not anymore.. Don't get me wrong. This track is high up on my list!
5. Closer - the way the chorus kept repeating "tonight" ruined the song for me...
6. The Reason - I loved the original version and was disappointed that Shane didn't get the deep, groany voice the original track had
*************
This is where it gets better! I love the 2nd half of the album... Traditionally, the songs I dislike are the ones that are towards the end... but not this time! The next songs just contained so much emotion in it that it was impossible not to love all the tracks!
7. Tell Me it's Love - I used to get this confused with the next track but this has caught my attention the first time! You can just smell LOVE in this track. It's a Westlife ballad, 100%!
8. I Get Weak - I love the chorus on this track. However, Kian's solo bit was a weak point for me. I never was a fan of his vocals and this has just proven (once again - at least to myself) that he is the weakest, voice-wise, in the group
9. Before It's too Late - the emotions in this song is so infective, it's so special I don't think I need words to describe how it got me
10. No One's Gonna Sleep Tonight - up-tempo. I find Shane's voice quite sexy in this one! It kinda reminds me of the Spice Girls
11. Difference in Me - POP IN ITS TRUEST FORM. Shane's voice is just ♥ Probably my fave track off the whole album
12. Too Hard to Say Goodbye - if you ask me, I'll See You Again was a better song. Kian (I think) sang the first bit.. I dunno if it could make a difference in me if it wasn't him...
13. Please Stay - It's a bonus track and a weak song (in my opinion.....) Nicky's vocals weren't good enough I guess..
***************
All in all, this is a wonderful album. As I've said on Twitter, this is about a thousand times better than Where We Are.
