A review of Beautiful World from Channel 4 Telextext (and before anyone gets paranoid I'm posting all reviews I come across. Good and bad. This is bad.)

 

 

Review by John Earls.

Great. Ten year's wait for four ropey solo albums cobbled together.

 

Any notion that they're having fun back together is quashed by sickly 'mature reflections' on what they've been up to - ie, faux-meaningful ballads pondering about, like, stuff.

 

Other than the engaging Scissor Sisters soundalike Shine, it's as duff as other ex-boyband fodder and, ironically, like Robbie's worst slow ones.

 

 

4/10.

Come back for good, boys

 

 

There isn't a single shoddy or cynical moment on Take That's new album, says Lynsey Hanley - it's almost like the last 10 years never happened

Take That

Beautiful World

Polydor, £12.99

Take That were, if not the original boy band, then certainly the best. It's not their fault that their success spawned Boyzone and the execrable Westlife, and bestowed on us a decade's worth of Robbie Williams's bellyaching. Better to remember the hits: 'Pray', 'Sure', 'Relight My Fire', and 'Back For Good', a ballad of such undeniable quality that, upon its release in 1995, dour indie kids could be seen wearing Take That T-shirts in tribute. (You wouldn't catch a goth in a Bryan McFadden top these days, would you?)

 

The lasting goodwill felt towards 'the That', as they were known to Smash Hits readers, was such that their comeback tour this year - 10 years after their Robbie-hastened split - was greeted not with guffaws and a struggle to sell out Butlins, but with a kind of mass relief, as if to say, 'Thank god, we need you back (for good, preferably).'

Pop Idol had made us cynical about straight-up pop in the intervening years; something about these four Mancunian lads making the best use of their variable talents warmed the heart.

 

Whether that goodwill can be sustained beyond a greatest hits package, however, is entirely down to the quality of their new material. Luckily, Beautiful World is very good. Its mild-mannered adult rock is slicker than a tub of Brylcreem, but not so cloying as to make you want to wash your hands after listening to it. Gary Barlow - always the leader, with his clear, unaffected voice and knack for writing choruses the size of Wembley - guides the enterprise to safety with the memorable title track and 'Reach Out', an unexpectedly trenchant plea for tolerance in a world of strangers.

 

The anchor provided by Barlow's solid songwriting allows the other members - Fraggle-haired Howard Donald, squeaky Mark Owen and the once artistically silent Jason Orange, who contributes the acoustic 'Wooden Boat' - to have their Ringo moments without risking the album's integrity. Owen's 'Shine' is a walloping great singalong reminiscent of the newly cool ELO. Best of all, there isn't a single shoddy or cynical moment on here. It's almost like the last 10 years never happened.

 

 

 

it's almost like the last 10 years never happened

 

 

 

It sounds nothing like the fun TT that were 10 years ago at all :huh:

 

Glad to see it is getting some good reviews though ^_^

I have never been into boy bands really , and i didnt even like Robbie when he went solo :rolleyes: :blush:

Take That

@ Abbey Road Studios, London, 22 November 2006

 

 

It would be easy to dismiss Take That as a bunch of past-it popstars reheating their old hits to cynically extort oodles of cash out of their now older, but certainly not wiser, fans. The fact that their reformation comes without star-turn Robbie Williams only serves to heighten the feeling that the boys are just cashing in on a nostalgic wave as boy bands across the world seem to be (finally) a dying breed.

However, unlike insipid successors Westlife, East 17 et al, Take That were, for their sins, bloody good - a heady mixture of camp, stonking pop songs and a real sense that they weren't taking it half as seriously as their fans were. And, with a new album on the back of their jaunt round Britain's arenas, perhaps there is more to this than simply pound signs flashing in Gary Barlow's eyes.

 

To launch this album, Beautiful World, and to remind the country just who Gary, Mark, Howard and... err... the other one are, we've been invited down to an exclusive soiree at Abbey Road studios, for a taped broadcast for Radio 2. Despite the gaggle of twentysomething female fans crushed against the famous railings more resembling a Blackpool hen night than a concert, the gig itself a surprisingly mature affair, the boys backed by a string section, fancy lighting and, for the slowies, strings of fairy lights.

 

As they take to the stage after an interminable pause, at least three of them still possessing the model looks that first took them to a nation of teenagers hearts, the 90% female audience throws away any inhibitions they've acquired over the last ten years and SCREAMS.

 

It may be a mark of how ambitious the band are that they start with three (count 'em) new songs, rather than leaping onstage to a rousing chorus of Take That and Party. If it's a gamble, it's one which pays off handsomely. Sandwiched between two decent power ballads, new single Patience is fantastic - a mature, intelligent pop song with a catchy hook, and one that takes on a whole new life with a full backing band.

 

As the band decline to mention the titles of most new numbers, it's a little difficult to pass judgement on the others, but if this sets the tone for the forthcoming album Take That could be on the verge of releasing their best work to date.

 

So it's almost a shame that they decide to spend much of the rest of the evening plundering their back catalogue. Despite this being what the fans turned out for, much of the new material (aside from the soppy, Westlife-alike Beautiful World) is so good you're actually left clamouring for more. A breathy Babe is dispatched early, as is the rubbish but enormously fun Everything Changes. Barlow pulls out all the emotive hand gestures for the rapturously received Back For Good, as he does on Pray and, well, petty much every other song of the evening.

 

If it's one thing that lets this concert, and probably the whole reunion, down is that this is very obviously Barlow's gig, and that Mark, Howard and err... the other one are merely along for the ride. Barlow is the one fronting the dreadful turn in Brian Potter-esque northern "banter" with the audience. He's the one who announces the songs, sings lead on the hits and once, spectacularly, announces Howard will sing a song and then joins in after just one verse.

 

Poor old... is it Jason?... doesn't even get to sing a section of the cringe-worthy Beatles medley they massacre by way of an encore. It's unfair. He has much the better voice than the other three, but you get the distinct impression, as Barlow mugs to the audience at the end while the others look on, grinning sheepishly, that he's finally seen an opportunity to drag himself out of Robbie Williams' giant shadow, and he's not going to let it slip away.

 

However, this is a minor quibble. By the time the band belt out cast iron classic Never Forget at the end, they've conclusively shown that they are still the benchmark that any British pop group should aspire to, and with a promising new album out soon, this may very well be one reunion that lasts.

Not such a great review in The Sunday Express..

 

2 Stars

The former boy band seem to have stepped out of Robbie Williams's reject shop in search of their "new sound". Three songs in and for some reason, they've taken lead vocals away from Gary Barlow. Shine sounds like Take That copying the Scissor Sisters copying Bowie copying the Beatles, and most songs are formulaic bores drowning in orchestration.

Take That ride to the rescue

 

DESPITE my determined efforts to Stop The C*cks, PESTLIFE have beaten OASIS to No1 in the toughest album chart battle in years.

 

Fans of the Manc rock legends came out in their thousands at the weekend to snap up their “Best Of†album Stop The Clocks.

 

But, tragically, time ran out and despite the gap closing to just 6,000 albums, it wasn’t enough to catch the cheesy Oirish crooners.

 

Now I am pinning my hopes on TAKE THAT exterminating Westlife with Beautiful World — their first new album release in ten years.

 

After new single Patience hit No1 yesterday, I reckon their album could soon do the same.

 

So please get behind Take That and get rid of the pests — you know it makes sense.

 

Westlife’s The Love Album — a sickening concoction of covers which include “classics†from BONNIE TYLER — flew off the shelves to make it the band’s 6th No1 album.

 

Not since JOHN LENNON was beaten to the 1980 Christmas No1 by St Winifred’s School Choir with the awful There’s No One Quite Like Grandma has there been such a chart travesty.

 

Even CDs from THE BEATLES and U2 couldn’t prevent one of the worst miscarriages of justice in pop history.

 

The ’Loife were celebrating their astonishing success on tour in Australia last night.

 

And to show there were no hard feelings I extended my congratulations — albeit through gritted teeth.

 

NICKY BYRNE told me: “We are thrilled. We have the best fans in the world and we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them.â€

 

Even their manager LOUIS WALSH had a little gloat: “It just shows there is a true, genuine demand for Westlife when they can beat legends such as The Beatles, U2 and Oasis.â€

 

NOEL GALLAGHER didn’t let the disappointment get to him. Last night he performed a sold-out acoustic gig in North London in aid of Mencap.

 

Any other week Oasis would have taken the top slot with sales of 213,000 albums.

 

But almost a million CDs were sold by the top five artists alone, making it the biggest-selling week this year.

 

The next closest was in February when the ARCTIC MONKEYS shifted a record-breaking 350,000 copies of their debut album.

 

Industry bosses reckon sales will keep soaring — with Oasis eventually coming out on top.HMV’s Gennaro Castaldo said: “Best Of albums tend to sell more copies over a longer period.

 

“So while Oasis and The Beatles may have just missed out topping the charts this week, they are well placed to be among the biggest sellers this Christmas.â€
