Disco de Westlife: “Where We Are”

This album is absolutely AMAZING!! I think most people will find that they can relate to almost all the songs on the album. For me personally, "I'll See You Again" is my favorite. It's a very sad song but it reminds me a lot of my Mom whom I miss dearly. I hope more US people will check this album out and give them a chance because I think if word got out, they'd take the US by storm!! Welcome back Westlife!

I love this band and their music. I own most of their albums & singles and I rate this latest (2009) album their very best yet. Let me state what I look for in a great song: A well-constructed, hummable MELODY which will linger in my head. This album has a high % of songs that fit this requirement.

I care less about the lyrics of songs - as long as it's NOT about aggression & violence. I also very rarely award any song a 10/10 score, as you will see from my favorite Westlife songs that follow. The last time when I award a song 10/10, was in 2003 for Faith Hill's "Cry".

The following are my favorite Westlife songs from their past albums, so readers have a reference point as to which Westlife songs I regard as really great. From "A World Of Our Own" (2001): To Be Loved (9.5); Drive (9.5)

From "Face To Face" (2005): You Raise Me Up (9.5); When You Tell Me.... (with Diana Ross) (9.0)

From "The Love Album" (2006): Love Can Build A Bridge (9.5++); The Rose (9.0)

From "Back Home" (2007): Us Against The World (9.5); Catch My Breath (9.5); When I'm With You (9.0);

From "Where We Are" (2009): How To Break A Heart (9.5++); Leaving (9.0); Reach Out (9.0) No More Heroes (8.5); I'll See You Again (8.5); Talk Me Down (8.5)

And the other 7 songs on this album are all very listenable - no exceptions; here is not a single track which I want to mute out / skip. My ratings for the rest of this album are: What About Now (8.0); Where We Are (8.0); Shadows (7.5); The Difference (7.0); As Love Is My Witness (7.0); Sound Of A Broken Heart (6.5); Another World (6.0)

Great job Westlife!! May you perform more excellent music for several decades! Buy this album right away if you like music with great melodies, voices, harmonies, orchestration & other backup sound.

I chose not to listen to any of the tracks making their way across the internet before I got the album. I had heard and loved their cover of 'What about Now' but after hearing the entire album I would have to say it is my least favorite song on the album. The entire album is wonderful and invokes the proper emotions each song is meant to. The song 'Shadows' is probably the best track on the album. I agree with another reviewer that I wonder where Kian and Nicky are on the album at all. I love the song 'Talk me down' strictly because I have longed to hear a Mark only song. I can't wait to see what the future holds for the boys.

I love the CD I ordered and it came out perfectly. This band, Westlife, has been an influence of my life since 2010 and I always wanted their album towards one song, "I'll See You Again" because the song was used for a funeral. They really help the mood the most and they speak their heart out in their songs.

Mom loved the CD and listened to it. She said she have heard of them, but she had no idea they existed. She really admire their songs and how good they were. She's music fanatical and this one really stood out for her. She was surprised I got this for her and I told her that she can play it anytime now. It made her feel better whenever she listens to "Sound of a Broken Heart" and "Reach Out", but the most would be "I'll See You Again".

Their music style kept playing the similar song each of them have and their voice reached out to me. I have been listening to it for the past two days now and still listening to it. It really lessen the mood and help me move on.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs to heal or for a funeral. This song brought people out to open their eyes, even my grandma played this song for her son's funeral. You can't help it but love these songs. It's so peaceful and worth listening.

This is a different album by Westlife. The songs are all great and Mark does quite a bit of solo work. Not easy to hear Kian and Nicky on these songs but the group are doing some of their best work. There are some covers on here and I prefer their own songs but somehow they always manage to make someone else's work even better!

Mark wrote a song and it is beautiful - very talented and the best boy band ever! Why are they not coming to America after 12 years in the business????
