Their vocals and musicianship peaked on that album, regarding first phase. It is also by far globally furthest reaching album. It also blended fun pop with great adult contemporary. Without that album success, there are places (North/South America) which simply wouldn't have known Take That existed. I too loved The Circus at the time, though have disinterest in it now and much prefer three albums mentioned above. Take That & Party, Everything Changes, III and Wonderland are never played by me. Though I love 'Another Crack In My Heart' from Everything Changes and play this still. I think Odyssey works for someone not familiar with Take That, hearing those versions as first timers with no preconceptions. That is feedback I have got, sending this album to others, namely as all singles are in one place, if not their original versions. This post has been edited by nirvanamusic: 3rd July 2020, 03:30 PM

The patience comeback and beautiful world were an amazing comeback. The huge success wasnt expected, ultimate collection, beautiful world, the circus and progress were all so huge it was great seeing them do so well and made them bigger than they ever were. I hope wonderland can eventually go platinum as its their only album not to achieve it and three with some luck might eventually go double platinum.

The continued huge sales lasted much longer than I anticipated, with Live albums selling in high numbers during these periods. The sales of Wonderland were alarmingly worrying although, Odyssey, did reverse the decline in sales close to 150,000 to date.

Though, they had two albums in 90s which didn't sell over a million, though Take That & Party is quite close. They really have to work for a hit lead off single and with no multiple hits coming off the albums, it's inevitable sales won't match. Robbie though is in exact same position and sales as Take That, so I feel it just happens the longer you are around.
