"Okay this review is basically going to be a song by song kinda deal...



QUEEN OF MY HEART- This is a great song. Perfect choice for the first single released for the album.

BOP BOP BABY- I love this song. And it's even better that it was written by Shane and Bryan. The video is cool, too.

I CRY- I love Mark in this song. So soulful.

WHY DO I LOVE YOU- This is a great song as well. Are we seeing a theme here? I can just picture the dance moves when I hear "Why do I love you like I do..Like I always do" LOL.

I WANNA GROW OLD WITH YOU- I love this song. Such a strong ballad and you can totally tell that these guys wrote this while missing their ladies. I like how Nicky gets a few lines here, too.

EVERGREEN- Not the best song on the album but it has grown on me. I don't really get how you make a night evergreen, though. :)

WORLD OF OUR OWN- This is the song I look forward to every time I play this CD. It is perfectly mixed with perfect singing. I like how Shane's voice gets raspy at times. And Mark is once again amazing here.

TO BE LOVED- This is actually a song where I thought to myself "Hey, that could be a good first dance song for a wedding". One of the best ballads they have done, in my opinion.

DRIVE- I like how this song is a bit different than the rest. They have that part where it's almost a cappella that I love.

IF YOUR HEART'S NOT IN IT- Another song I look forward to when I listen to this CD. Every line sounds so heartfelt.

WHEN YOU COME AROUND- I have to say I haven't listened to this song as much as the others. But I do love the beat in the background. And it's a song that makes you feel happy.

DON'T SAY IT'S TOO LATE- I like this song. Not my favorite, but it has grown on me.

DON'T LET ME GO- Again, I'm glad Nicky and Kian get some lines in this song.

WALK AWAY- I like the sound of "If you want a man that is here to stay..." Good song.

LOVE CRIME- I'm not crazy about it, but it's a good solid song. Takes some getting used to.

IMAGINARY DIVA- I LOVE this song. I didn't at first, but I do now. Again, Mark's voice (and songwriting) is amazing.

ANGEL- I do like this song, but it has been soooo overplayed in the US that I'm not crazy about it. I do think that Westlife did a great job covering it though. It is not an easy song to sing.



Overall, I think this album is definitely a must-have for any pop music fan. And what I love about it is that it is a great CD for working out. The treadmill is much more bearable while this CD is playing. :)"
