3.0 out of 5 stars Let it take you away., November 1, 1999

Gary Barlow has had a hard time of it. His American record company ruined his previous release by not allowing him do his thing and paired him with some of the most talented musicians in the US. The resulting album was a tepid mix of ballads and mid-tempo songs. Thank you to the people who produce Celine Dion. (The title track 'Open Road' was a masterpiece)

Also, he has had to fight comparison with former bandmate Robbie Williams. I enjoy Robbie, too, but he has nothing on Gary in the singing department.

This album is 100% Barlow. His voice and musicianship are in fine form, but the album is weighed down in love ballads, beautiful though they are. It would have been nice to have a couple of good dance-pop tunes a la his remake of "Relight My Fire" from his Take That days. Although, "Stronger" comes very close.

That said, it is a lovely breezy album and perfectly showcases his voice and songwriting ability. Standout tracks include "Arms Around Me," "All That I've Given Away," "Before You Turn Away" and "Wondering."

3.0 out of 5 stars Barlow almost does it again, February 3, 2000

I was a little surprised to hear that Gary was not necessarily happy with his last album, "Open Road." I personally thought in all respects that cd was terrific. This cd almost captures the essence of "Open Road." The track that immediately stands out on "Twelve Months..." is "Stronger." This has an amazing hook and you will definitely be singing along by the end. "For all that you want" is essentialy "Superhero" (from Open Road) except that he now says "...your life, your hero" instead of "Superhero". The rest of the cd is basically just good 'ol pop music. Plain and simple. Some of it syrupy (after all the guy just got married). But for the most part very enjoyable and pleasant. I'm pleased that I purchased the cd and hope you will be too.

4.0 out of 5 stars gary's power continues....., December 7, 2001

while still enjoying listening to his first album, he released his scond album, after twelve months and eleven days!!!
compared to his debut album, this has less powerful materials to present them to te world, well, at least "for all that u want and "stronger" has continue his journey, after "love wont' wait", i bet u'll like this 2 numbers.
his second album hasn't help him much to climb higher in the entertainment industry, unlike his first album, with variety of rhythm and choices, this album did not show what direction is he going to achieve in him future albums, but this is worth a listen, if u'r gary's fans and just misses his voice so much, then, get this, u won't be dissapointed by enjoying his vocal performance!
