well after years of taking the mickey out of take that fans i have to say WHAT AN ALBUM. truly converted and the boys are back. Excellent song writting

I was not a particular fan of Take That the first time around, but I bough this album on the strength of Shine, and I haven't been disappointed.

The group don't suffer in the slightest for the lack of Robbie Williams, who is in his own right an excellent solo artist. Take That as they now are, however, have matured gracefully, and acquired greater skill to capitalise on their respective individual talents.

I enjoy the album tremendously. There are stand-out tracks, which include of course the track I bought the album for (Shine, weren't you paying attention?), but the whole album is worth a listen, and reflects well on a group of young men who've lived a lot more now than they had done when last they entered the recording studio.

It's been out for a while now, and if you've considered buying this but have held back, don't do so any longer.

Take That have made an unbelivably stupendous comeback, and it shows with a fantastic album like this. Songs like shine, patience, reach out and beautiful world are stunning records that you will not want to stop listening to! MY ADVICE IS BUY THIS ALBUM!
