Here are some reviews!!!! The following two were written by Charlee (Charlee19@aol.com)
Moments;
This is without a doubt one of the most stunning tracks on the album; with its unique combination of excellent lyrics, beautiful orchestral symphony and, of course, breathtaking vocals from the lads. Moments is perfect for listening to with the one you love, or just for playing in your bedroom when you're thinking about them! Shane and Mark take the lead vocals on the verses, but the others lads join in for the chorus making it an altogether brilliant choon! This should definetly be a single cos it would shoot straight to number one, without a doubt. This is Kian's personal fave from the album and if you listen, you'll see why! 9/10
Can't Loose What You Never Had
Yet another ballad from the lads, but this time, with a more uptempo feel........similar in style to If I Let You Go. Shane and Mark sing the verses but, as usual, the other boys join in with the chorus to make this another smashing Westlife song. All about a guy who is madly in love with a girl he thinks is "out of his league" - this is a song that many people can relate to, with lyrics perfectly constructed around an excellent tune. A nifty guitar rift sets the song apart from the others on the album, and it also has a slight RnB feel, with Mark singing along in the background in a high pitch throughout. The perfect track to end a brilliant album.........can these lads do no wrong?? 9/10

Fool Again
I love this song, it is really good and the music is really deep, if you know what I mean. The guitar beat is a great sound (which, by the way, shane says reminds him of Back For Good by take That) and starts the song off really well. This really shows how well the guys go together and how good they harmonise together. The lyrics of it are easy to relate to and feel meaningful, especially the chorus which honestly made the hairs on my neck stand on end. They sound so good together. The best bit has to be the break where you think it has ended, then there's a great drum bit and the guys break into song one more time. A great song, one of the best on the album in my opinion.
No No
An upbeat track showing us that the boys are not just about smoochy ballads. This one has a funky dance routine to it proving that the boys can dance as well as sing and look great! Shane and Mark lead on this and both sound great. This is really boppy and will definitely get your fingers clicking and your toes-a-tapping!! I love when the guys say 'everything we've been missing' cause they all pronounce it as 'ting' and it's just so Irish - wow! Another great harmonising bit in this near the end again which makes us all want more!! A funky track which I definitely give the thumbs up to (well, why wouldn't I, it is Westlife!!).
We Are One
Well, what can I say? All you have to do is read the lyrics and you know this one is another cracker. Well done to the writers Steve Mac, Wayne Hector and Alexadre Desplat this really is a good song. The lyrics are so nice and the guys put them together so well. Well, upon listening, I go all of a quiver. It starts with some amazing sounding strings and then our Shane's voice comes on, a really haunting sound which just sets the song off. Mark does the next few lines and now it's really taking off. The chorus is gorgeous, the words are just so meaningful. The track speeds up a beat and we can hear a whole magnitude of instruments, sounds and most important - the lads voices all harmonising beautifully together. Wow! An incredible track, another of my favourites, it really is great.

Seasons in the Sun:
~~Personally, I think it's a very good tune, with much heart in it. Even tho many reviews said that "They sound as if they have a very strong cold" instead of singing it with heart, I have to disagree. We've all heard many remakes, and some were worse than bad, so it was pretty refreshing to have such a good remake. The fact that they put all 5 members to sing in the tune also reflects some maturity by the group: some groups never grow out of the two members who always sing (much like the Shane/Mark thing we get in the beginning of the CD). Still, it's a nice tune, very sentimental, and well done.~~
