Amazon.co.uk Review
At the time of Coast To Coast's release, Westlife could do no wrong. With a staggering record of every one of their seven singles hitting the top spot of the British charts, they were really at the peak of their game. Within a week of this, their second album's release, their cultural forefathers Boyzone announced it was game over, leaving their most successful member Ronan Keating balancing his solo career and his job as Westlife's manager, aided and abetted by Louis Walsh, the man who made Boyzone and who was now firmly focused on his five new Irish wonder boys,. Together they have come up with a winning formula--good looks, ballads and gentle pop--and they rigidly stick to it. After all if it ain't broke don't fix it--look what happened to the Spice Girls, swept aside thanks to a combination of a radical change of direction combined with Westlife power. As such, the album itself is hardly a challenging affair, in fact the only things that really jump out and grab you are the aberration that was their duet with Mariah Carey on "Against All Odds" and their butchering of Abba's "I Have A Dream"--taking the lush harmonies of the original and turning them into the aural equivalent of wallpaper paste. However, it isn't all totally bland, there are moments where the harmonies shine through and the pop sensibilities come to the fore, such as "My Love", "When You're Looking Like That" and "Dreams Come True", in fact anything that is remotely up-tempo and a break from the relentless wishy washy nondescript ballads. This is the sound of Westlife at the peak of their career--the only trouble is, with their phenomenal track record and the wonderful fickleness of the British pop charts, the only way from here is down. --Helen Marquis

Customer Reviews

I still love this album
I havent listened to this for ages but just looking at the song names i remember them all, i used to fall asleep with it playing in my tape player.... im so sad! anyway it was great, World of our own was a tad better but its still great somewhere between world of our own and turnaround i reckon so probably second in the race but i loved it... one of the best albums i own, very easy to relisten to and brings back great memories!!! im going to listen now!

Westlifes brill second album
this is the fantastic Westlifes second offering. And with songs like 'what makes a man, and the beautiful ' my love'(winner of record of the year) 'when you're looking like that (a wonderful uptempo number)'Soledad' and the beautiful 'I lay my love on you' this is a must for any fan.

Absolutely dire!!
I cant believe how the music industry has capitulated in the past 40 years. In the sixties it was the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix etc fighting for number 1 and now it is Westlife on their own!! The songs on this album are as dull as dishwater and really just well disguised copies of pop songs from the past. My message to Shane, Bryan et al is come on lads, pick up an instruement and actually earn your fame. 'My Love' and 'I have a dream' are examples of the sickening type of trash that floats around in the pop industry today, while 'Against all odds' is just a copy of an old Phil Collins song and represents an easy Number 1 for the band. The best track on the album is 'When your lookin like that' and while its not the best song ever, it is quite up tempo and lively and represents a direction that maybe Westlife should follow in the future. But as a whole this album is rubbish and represents everything that is wrong with british music nowadays.
