The Circus - Take That

Considering they're practically pop pensioners it was to my surprise that I discovered that 'The Circus' is only Take That's 5th studio album since they first burst onto the music scene almost 20 years ago. Originally a five piece consisting of Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and the infamous Robbie Williams, the latter quit the group in 1995 resulting in Gary Barlow dissolving the band officially the following year. The news was so difficult for some fans to bear that special helplines were set up to cure their suicidal tendencies... A decade later and Take That's comeback record got all the washed up 90s acts hoping they can jump on the ...  Read the complete review

I was never particularly a Take That fan the first time round, I thought they had some catchy tunes, but that was about it. In their second incarnation, I have found them to be much more to my taste, although I have to admit I am a little bit loathe to admit it. I love the film Stardust, and loved the title track that Take That did, and have enjoyed their other hits lately, so when their album came out, I thought I would indulge. I wasn't disappointed. I think I will be listening to it regularly. Only time will tell if I get fed up with it, but at the moment, I'm quite impressed. This is the first music album I've reviewed, so if you think there are ...  Read the complete review

Finally after a year of waiting Take That has released their new album. This one is called The Circus which does seem a little strange to me as nothing on the album has anything to do with the circus but hey ho it is still a great album and is packed full of a great mix of tracks. The cover of the album is blue and has a picture of all the men standing on tightropes holding their arms and hands out. The title is above this in white lettering. The back cover is also blue and has the track list. The tracks on this album are as follow:- 1. The Garden - This songs starts off with Mark doing the vocals. The song starts off as a ballad ...  Read the complete review

This is my favourite Pop Groups latest Album and boy is it a great one. I received this album, as a gift from my hubby, the very first day it was released in the shops back at the end of November 2008. I really was excited when I first received it and I had to put it on my CD player straight away, as I could not wait to hear what my favourite group had newly recorded on this album. Well I can tell you that I really was impressed with every single song. All of the songs are all unique and really different. The lyrics are outstanding and the singing voices are note perfect, as usual, with these four hunks. I really think this is an fantastic album produced by Take That and ...  Read the complete review

I was really pleased when Take Than reformed as a group in 2005 (albeit without Robbie Willims but he doesn't really seem to be any great loss!) as I have always liked their music. I definitely think though that the reformed group has a lot more maturity that is reflected through their music than what they did when they were more thought of as a boy band. My love of Take That is obviously quite well known though as I received their latest album - The Circus - twice for Christmas! The Circus was released on 1st December 2008 and apparently went straight to number 1 in the album chart demonstrating the popularity that there is for Take That. The very ...  Read the complete review
