Talk On Corners - Corrs

Introduction ************* The Corrs, consisting of Irish brother and sisters, Jim, Andrea, Sharon and Caroline Corr had been around for a few years before their fame really took off. It wasn’t until “Dreams” was released or re-released should I say with the tin tin out remix that things started looking up for them. When The album “Talk on Corners” was released, it was a sure fire hit and was one of the biggest selling albums of 1998. It was in the album charts for many weeks and also stayed as well as moved back up to number one on a few occasions. The Album Tracks ***************** The opening track “Only ...  Read the complete review

The second album from the Corrs shot them from relative obscurity into hyperspace. From a little known Irish act this band suddenly became the hottest property on the planet. An album was made that changed the way that the public perceived tin whistles, the bodhran and the fiddle. This album opens with a guitar line that rocks, quite simply, and leads almost dramatically to the contrast of Andrea's haunting and lilting vocals. "Only when I sleep" introduces the novice to the basic element that is the Corrs. A good melodic rock song, intermingled with the trademark celtic sound. "When he's not around" goes on to ...  Read the complete review

This was the first Corrs album I purchased and I have to say I was so impressed the next day I went out to purchase Forgiven Not Forgotten. This CD provides nearly an hour of pure entertainment. I will tell you a bit about each track. If you are not a Corrs fan it might prove to be a bit boring. I am sorry but please read on and give me your true opinion in the comments box. 1.Only when I sleep This is a good track to start the album with. It is very catchy and memorable. The most memorable line for me from this track has to be Got me spinning round and round, Turning upside down. This is in the chorus. The words are very easy to learn and soon ...  Read the complete review

The Corrs - Talk on Corners The Corrs are a band who hail from Ireland. They are made up of four siblings, Jim and his three sisters, Andrea, Sharon and Caroline. I think they have a really unique sound with beautiful beautiful voices. I would describe their music and folk based with lots of meaningful lyrics. They also have quite an Irish based sound as well, on a lot of their songs there is a background Irish rythm which is what I think makes them quite a different type of mainstream band. What I also love about them is that they all can actually play instruments and to me that is a sing of a true musician and band. They include a lot of ...  Read the complete review

I first heard this album about two goes when it was being played non-stop in my house (not by me, although I didn't mind hearing it), and the singles, "What can I do" especially, seemed to be on the radio non stop at the time. A definite case of overexposure, and I think I tried my best to avoid the Corrs at the time because of it. Two years on, I put this CD on of my own volition, to see how I really feel about it. And I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by some of the tracks. "No good for me", for example, is a song that I hardly noticed at the time the album was first released, it passed me by completely for two years - ...  Read the complete review
