4.0 out of 5 stars Introducing a great bloke who happens to be a UK Idol, February 4, 2005

By	Amanda Richards "Modest to the extreme" (Georgetown, Guyana) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I got my first introduction to Gareth when I happened to hear the excellent single "Say It Isn't So". The timing was perfect because my best friend was leaving the country, so we played it to death.

The rest of the album is a combination of ballads, some R&B and funky pop, with a couple of funny ones, such as the highly spirited version of "Spirit in the Sky".

Sure, most of the album is your standard pop fare, but it's extremely listenable pop fare, with some good beats. At worst, he sometimes comes off like a Justin Timberlake sound-alike, especially on "Groove With Me", "Club Hoppin'" and "Enough of Me"

"Absolutely" has an old-time funk feel, and "All Cried Out" isn't the Lisa Lisa song, but instead samples "Human" by the Human League.

"Skeletons" and "It Happens Every Time" sound like tracks from a Savage Garden album, meaning that I like those too. "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" (not the Starship song) and "Lies" are my other picks.

If you're into idols, take a hop over the pond and try this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars HONESTLY ADDICTIVE!, March 10, 2004

By	rudin chen "brennan501" (kuala lumpur, MALAYSIA) - See all my reviews

To tell u the truth, i know gareth since he won 2nd place in debut idol series. but i just realise his full potential and vocal charismatic when only his 2nd album was release. his voice is somewhat a blend between a better version of george micheal and jacko. i hate those 2 but i should give gareth and exception. he made every song alive with his voice. Go your own way(GYOW) is a great pop album.mosty ballad and dance. either ballad or up beat song. gareth shines every track, sound so addictive almost dripping like honey.

Sunshines - R&B pop track, at first listen sound usual, but as every listen it haunt u back for more replay. my fav!

absolutely - funky groove pop, sexy vocal exageration. funky.

all cried out - i like dis song cuz of gareth accent. british with an r&b pop twist.it has sample of 'human'. my fav!

enough of me - funky groove rnb pop, sexy ooh and ahh...bluesy track with some simple guitar riff. sexy.

foolish - funky dance tune - sound like elvislike song. i loves his accent on this song. cause he sing almost rapping. catchy. my fav!

freak my baby - pop rnb tune, couldve been mistaken by micheal jackson song. i like the chorus. cute vocal.

go your own way - rnb song, it grows on u and make u wanna listen again and again. my fav!

groove with me - cute sexy groovy song. girl would buy on dis one. sexy.

it happens everytime - everytime i listen to dis song, i imagine it would be good for disney soundtrack.ya know.it has some magical sound in it.lol.cute pop.singing along.my fav!

just say yes - groovy rnb song. didnt like dis song that much. just the song. they shouldve pick another song to replace on dis one.

listen to my heart - ballad. hmm...as usual.gareth voice alone will make u like dis song.

say it isnt so - a great single. i personally like dis song cause the lyric has meaning in my life*sob*sob...this song was the key reason why i like gareth, was sad, watchin mtv, then the video came out at the right time. then there was the duet with siti on mtvasia. hope they release it as bonus in next album maybe.my fav!!

spirit in the sky - cute song. the indian sound added some variety to his songs in this album. a cute song. my fav!

all in all, dis album is worth to buy. gareth voice has potential to be the next robbie william. amazing voice from a guy who is a stammer.god bless him!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, July 14, 2004

By	Christina (Vancouver, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews

I can't name a track on this album I don't love!! Gareth should be super proud of his work. Although I do think that overall my favourite song is "All Cried Out." It's absolutely AMAZING!!! I like how there are 2 CD's and that each has a flavour all its own. You can enjoy it all the way through, and over and over again. The first CD (Night) is more dance pop music so it's a bit funkier. The second CD (Day) is more ballads but there are some more up tempo songs on it too.
