Music reviews of Circus (International Edition)
Music Review: Adult Pop with Teen Pop Echoes
Rating: 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.

Description of Circus (International Edition)
2008 album from the mega-selling British boy band. After successfully effecting one of the greatest Pop comebacks in history, Take That release their fifth studio album, the second after their return. Led, as ever, by the songwriting talents of svengali Gary Barlow, this release is similarly epic and romantic to its predecessor (2006's Beautiful World), with songs such as 'What Is Love', 'How Did It Come To This' and the single 'Greatest Day' standing out most. Producer John Shanks returns for a second collaboration with the boys, repeating the success of his work with them on Beautiful World. Universal.International CDs
