I don't get why you keep criticizing them that it looks like they don't care. They keep going on and on how proud they are of this album, how involved they were. I agree, its not on them, I'm sure they would like more singles but the videos cost money. Heck, even if we think Starlight video sucks, I am sure it cost money. You always seem so negative and you go down on them :)

They will be on The Late Late Show tomorrow night.

Oh yeah, I love Coast to Coast, its always a tie with WOOO for me. Debut is very good but there are songs in there that I find too cheesy :lol: By the way, if you want to chat outside forum, you can find me on Facebook under Zeljka Surla. If there are more than one, I am the one with the curly hair and glasses

I have to say this album is turning out to be my favorite, they finally dethroned World Of Or Own for me. So I would say my Top 5 is: 1. Wild Dreams 2. World Of Our Own 3. Where We Are 4. Spectrum 5. Gravity Its really sad it took a damn pandemic for them to make an album they were heavily involved in, I hope this gives them confidence to continue like that in the future

Like I said, I know it was successful and I know why but I didn't know it was sitting at #8 which is great considering it was a Top 15 hit. To think its more successful than Queen Of My Hear or My Love, that is impressive. I think it has a lot to do with them being back because I genuinely think Starlight is better than Hello My Love.

https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/w...-charts__25303/ I had no idea Hello My Love was that successful, that it ends up at #8 of their biggest singles.

I thought the same thing when Mark released his genuinely brilliant debut. Sales have obviously dropped a lot though, that is obvious.

I am not surprised, I expected this. Are sales from tickets pre-order calculated in this?

Yeah I don't think they would have lasted for 14 years. Brian is a great singer/songwriter but there is always something immature about him. Maybe he is different now but back in the day I remember boys saying it annoyed them he wasn't serious at the proper moment, when it was time to work. You can't just fool around all the time.

I saw someone on Twitter point out Do You Ever Think Of Me sounds like Chances by Backstreet Boys. I can hear some similarities but its not a blatant copy if you ask me.

Yeah that must have stung. I always thought he said all that to the public, about how he wanted to be with his family and that the guys knew he wants to go solo. No wonder they never want him back.

I know what you mean but I still say, Starlight is just as good as WOOO, its just current 2020 song. Lifeline is a big ballad as well.

I was just about to say that. Starlight has a hit written on it but it simply wasn't for them. I can say that for Alone Together, Alive, Wild Dreams and Do You Ever Think Of Me but its pretty certain it won't be if they release those as singles. I don't think the album is missing a hit

Alive that Nicky co-wrote, the chorus is about world moving on and how everything will eventually get better but I think he was thinking about his kids while writing this, the way he sings about knowing the trees and missing friends from school. I really like the song and that little thing Mark does near at the end with "I'll come alive".

I agree about Adele, I actually prefer 25 to the new one. For me I think the fact that a few songs are over 6 minutes long is what putts me off. I hope the boys release more singles but who knows if they think its worth it.

They have been doing the same thing for years and have been criticized for it and now they aren't, they should have stuck to their old guns? They simply can't win with the critics :lol: https://retropopmagazine.com/westlife-wild-dreams-review/

Again please leave this thread and don't ruin the joy for everybody else. Botox my ass, they all have wrinkles, do you need glasses?

Charis, don't argue with him, just ignore it because its useless, he lives in his own little world.

Hahah, they threw pork pies, really, what a fascinating FAKE story. Please leave this thread and go to Spice Girls appreciation one. Anyway, another bad review but what else is new, divorce dad energy is hilarious way to describe the album, I give her that: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/nov/...rced-dad-energy

Oh yeah, poor Spice Girls, they had an amazing career and yet evil Westlife stopped them from no.1 boohoo. At the end of the day, its about popularity and Westlife fans were eager to get them to no.1 so blame their loyal fan. And sexist trash, really? How old are you, 12?

Its definitely different even from Spectrum so I can understand if someone doesn't like it. The fact that its all mainly mid/uptempo is a big change for sure. I actually believe them now when they say its Westlife 2.0

They are live now: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_two

Yeah that part surprised me the most, its definitely new for them which is why I find it ridiculous when reviewers say its the same old boring Westlife. Hate it if you want but don't say this isn't a change for them.

You shouldn't judge anything on previews, at least listen to it once on Spotify and then never listen to it if you don't like it

This looks like a review from someone who isn't familiar with their past music if its branded as same old: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertai...m-b1964230.html I mean, what kind of progress is anyone expecting, there is nothing wrong with upbeat pop songs. Also, they aren't doing a 2nd comeback, that part is also ridiculous.
