Can we embrace yet another boy band? Bring 'em on! Here come Kian, Mark, Bryan, Shane, and Nicky--five knock-out Irish lads who were selling millions of CDs in Europe while the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync competed for teenaged hearts in the U.S. Thank goodness for Westlife that pubescent crushes are as transferable as a comic strip to Silly Putty; the group is geared to storm the States head-on, and threatening to overtake a few well-entrenched heartthrobs. Citing the Backstreet Boys as an early influence (when 3 years is more than 10 percent of your whole life, it scales), the vocal-harmony quintet's sound is exactly what you'd expect. The album contains no Backstreet-bombast dance singles, though--these guys opt for Boyz II Men balladeering. Their perfectly melded voices wail, soar, and soothe with impressive emotional impact that's capable of igniting countless gymnasium-turned-dancehall romances. Those who remember will wince at the implications of Westlife's verbatim cover of Extreme's "More Than Words." --Beth Massa

By	Flip Juice (caffeine dependent Seattle) - See all my reviews

This is my first and the cd that made me fall in love with these amazing guys. I have owned this cd for almost 5 years now and until now I sing their lovely songs in my head without getting sick of it. The lyrics are filled with real emotions. These guys will move you with their beyond powerful talented voices and carry you on through years of treasured serenade.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of Westlife, May 19, 2005

By	Anna (Evanston, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews

I would like to introduce a music CD that I really like. The name of the group is West life. The name of singers in Westlife are Mark, Kian, Shane, and Nicky.I would to introduce is their first album. It's made up of pop songs. Everybody can enjoy their songs. Their first album has with the color of their image. The songs in their first album are really clean, soft voices and nice songs. Despite it being their first album, they made it successfully. They used the piano and guitar. When I went to the music store I was looking a CD to buy. There were a lot of albums. When I choose album to buy I always think about it a lot. I choose West life's album to listen. I feel satisfied with it so I bought it and I have listened to their album until now. It never makes me tired of it. This is the best album I have ever heard.It's an amazing album. My parents like their album too. It's popular with my whole family. The style of this album is classical and elegant. I recommend this album to anyone who likes classic music or quite songs.So why don't you get one and get into their songs??
