Free Music Notes for Circus (International Edition)
Free Music Review: Adult Pop with Teen Pop Echoes
Hit: 4 Stars
Overall, unlike some other listeners, I like this album better than "Beautiful World," which seemed bogged down by a number of undistinguished ballads. "The Garden" is probably the best song here, and the one that transcends the mainstream subject matter that can make TT seem a little bland. It earns its melodrama better than "Greatest Day," which works better with the video - it is drama with little content. This could be the greatest day: why? so what? While some fans wanted a Barlow-dominated album, I found that the variety of voices here gave the album more depth. "Up All Night," the Beatlesque "Shine"-type song of this album, is instantly likable, and its laddish lyrics give the band some much-needed grit. The social commentary of "How Did it Come to This" similarly earns its hook with a little humor. These are all non-Barlow elements (Mark Owen, mainly) that make the cd more engaging. "The Circus," a piece of Barlow-balladry threatens to dissolve in its schmaltziness. Songs like "Julia" and "You" veer too close to teen pop, though; they're about * * this far from the Partridge Family. "Hold Up a Light" may pander to the band's 02 Arena audiences, but it works, and would have made a good b-side. "Said It All" is a song with a strong hook, reminiscent of Keane, and, as the last single, rounds out a collection of "adult pop" with few skip-track moments. Take That are more charming this time around even as they are unabashedly commercial.Free Music Review: The Circus is great!

I really like Circus it was out awhile before I finally purchased it, but it is great. The guys have really grown since the early days, and when I heard their last record "Beautiful World" I was surprised how good they could really sound without Robbie Williams but now in fact it's like Robbie who? the guys all sing now and I especially like Gary and Howard on lead together very Lennon and McCartney to me. This CD flows better as a whole then just the singles so just put it on and let it play from start to finish.Free Music Review: Sounds good to me...

I have never been a fan of 'boy bands' but these four lads have grown up and made a fun, mature CD full of music I want to listen to.
