Absolutely Beautiful ....Two years of searching for the perfect Male Voices has paid off BIG TIME for Simon Cowell ..Every song is wonderful...From The remake of the classic Toni Braxton " Unbreak My Heart" to "Mama"... THANK YOU SIMON ! This CD has a permenent place on my cd system !! BRAVO !!!

These boys, have fantastic voices. The cd overall is a wonderful production. There are some rough spots but for a debut album, this is a great piece of work. It is well worth owning. As time goes by the boys will continue to refine their abilities with each other and produce even better work and then we are all in for a great treat.

THESE HEAVENLY VOICES ARE SO SOOTHING THAT WORDS CANNOT BEGIN TO EXPRESS HOW THE MIND & BODY RESPONDS, TOTALLY ENRAPTURED! I'M SOOOOOO HAPPY I PURCHASED THIS CD, THANK YOU SIMON FOR THIS MASTERPIECE!!

I absolutely love this album and play it constantly. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves fine music and is willing to trade in reality for awhile and let their senses take wing! Thoroughly enjoyable!

The music is great, these guys are great and their songs are great. Is there anything else to say? Just one: they are all handsome to boot.

What was Simon Cowell thinking when he put together this overbearing production of blasting vocals, so loud it sounds like the continuous crashing of a bowling alley and a concept as tacky as one as well. He's way out of his league. The only thing "huge" here, as Simon puts it, is his ego! David, the American vocalist has the most potential. Make his solo album and then we'll talk "huge"! Until then, stick to silly pop, you Brit!

My wife and I had high hopes for this one! From Mr. Cowell's statements and the pre-release reviews.....All were nothing more than industry hype.

I believe the only folks that would find this attractive would be those with no musical training, or those with no taste themselves...the folks that let the "hype" machine tell them what is good or not.

My two biggest complaints...
1."Unbreak My Heart (Regresa a Mi)" Beautiful Diane Warren song COMPLETELY trashed here. These guys have AMAZING voices, but they try to out sing each other instead of blending.

2."Nella Fantasia" How can you screw up Morricone? Just like this!! Horrid!!

Bottom line: four awesome vocalists when they sing separately. Combine them and you have a train wreck "I-will-out-divo-you" singing contest.

I rarely find myself saying this...I wasted my money.

My wife and I have agreed 100% with Simon's AI comments and are baffled by his support of this recording.
