The Circus - Take That Reviews

I wasn't the biggest fan of take that when they first came about so when I heard that they had reformed I wasn't that bothered to be honest. When the first song came out I was very suprised it was very upbeat and catchy. I would have never thought that take that would be so good. Last christmas I asked my partner to buy me ...  Read the complete review

First things first, I was never a massive Take That fan when they were first on the scene, I liked the odd track but was never one of the screeming girls or one who had their bedroom wall plastered in Take That posters..... Then they made their comeback and wow was I fixed. I am not sure what it was but I found their album Beautiful world ...  Read the complete review

The Circus is an album by Take That. It was released in 2008, and is their fifth studio album. With the release of 'Beautiful World' in 2006, Take That announced they were back, and Back For Good. Having split up in 1996, they decided to reform for a series of concerts, before deciding that they still had something to offer the musical ...  Read the complete review

Oh. My. Word. Take That at their complete and utter best! When I bought their 'Beautiful World' album I was surprised because I hadn't really listened to much of their stuff back from the 90s so I didn't really know what their style was but when I heard 'Patience', I fell in love. When 'The Circus' came out earlier this year i HAD to buy it as by ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I was never a fan of Take That in their hey day. Nonetheless I think they have been wonderful since their return and that is shown in their album Circus. Circus includes 12 tracks with GARY, MARK, JASON and HOWARD showcasing their talents in each song. The opening track THE GARDEN is a nice little opener which sets the album off nicely. ...  Read the complete review

i pre ordered take that album and when i recieved it couldnt wait to play it. i put it on my cd player and it didnt seem long until it was over. i thought that it would have lasted a bit longer than it did and was a bit disapointed by that. i have been a huge take that fan for years right from when they were around in the 90s till this very momen ...  Read the complete review

Having been a die-hard fan of the 'That' since the early days, there comeback was really welcomed and this being their fifth album was not a dissappointment. It's their second album released from the boys since their big return 2-3 years ago, and they have turned from what some may describe as a cringe-worthy boy band to a credible vocal group who ...  Read the complete review

I thought that the abscence of Robbie Williams would deminish the appeal of Take That however they have proved me wrong and this is an excellent album with some excellent strong tracks on it. Maybe my tastes have mellowed a bit with age but I find that Take That have developed well as a group and the quality of this album shines through ...  Read the complete review

The Circus is former boy band Take That's second album since their relaunch a couple of years ago following around a decade of being split up. Their music seems to mature with each step they take at the moment, with more emphasis being shared between the four band members of Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald. Previously, ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

The Circus is for me the crowning glory of the Take That discography. This album is complete proof that the boys just get better and better. To add to this is the increasing responsibility bestowed upon Jason, Howard and Mark to take the lead in some of the more prominent numbers. As with any Take That album, there are a couple of ...  Read the complete review

Believe it or not, I'm not actually a great fan of take that, and I prefer other music to this, in fact I usually cant stand boy bands but I think since take that have gotten back together their songs have really matured and they actually have some pretty decent sons now. 1.The Garden 2.Greatest Day 3.Hello. 4.Said It ...  Read the complete review

The Circus - Take That Who are they - Take That are a band, made up of four guys from Manchester, Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen. They first came out in the early 90's and I have to say that I was a fan then and am still a fan now. I do think it's funny when I see the kids now who have only known them as a new ...  Read the complete review

I'll be honest, i am in almost hatred of this band. Individually this band is filled with four pillocks in my opinion - they're egotistical, money hungry and fame hungry. The talented one i.e Gary Barlow, writes most of the songs so some credit where it's due of course. Now i dont like them individually or as a band but i have to admit ...  Read the complete review

I am such an oldschool fan, I got this album for my birthday. First listened to it in the car and listened to it all the way through - hmmm ok. But, wasnt sure on a few tracks at 1st . After 2/3 plays you will find yourself singing tracks to yourself all day. "Said it all", "Up all night", and especially "How did it come ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

The Circus by Take That, released at the end of 2008. The much awaited second album after this groups' comeback. It was worth buying this album for the cover photograph alone, which features Howard, Gary, Mark and Jason tightrope walking in the sky, all looking as beautiful as ever (swoon). There you go, I've admitted my bias from the ...  Read the complete review

This is Take That's best album to date - fact! Totally different to the albums released previously to it but still the same fantastic Take That. I received this as a Christmas present and have not had it out of the CD player. The album doesn't have one bad track on it. Obviously I favour some more than others but there isn't a ...  Read the complete review

I was never a big Take That first time round but their recent work ,and this album 'The Circus' in particular, have turned me into a convert. The album is mature and contains a good spread of slower and more upbeat tracks. There are 12 tracks listed and the circus influence flows throughout by use of rousing instrumental music that you'd find in ...  Read the complete review
