Ever wondered how in the music world the Americans Invented most of modern music but the Brits musically perfected it? Think about it...Rock, Metal, Pop and even the boy bands from the Isles are better! And a demonstration of that is Westlife 's latest, World of our own . The first thing to understand before you push play is that Boy Bands are a musically flawed species, so first of all don't expect musical genius. The next thing is to grab some time as this is one long album and could easily last the hour long journey back home from work.

The Album starts of with Queen of My Heart , no surprises here unless you don't have a TV set. But to give you an idea, this sets the trend for the rest of the album. Love is the inspiration here and now before I get sick we'll move on to the next number, Bop Baby Bop . This is a lively number and you can't help tapping your foot to it. Note that in terms of liveliness this is one of just two or three numbers that has a reasonable tempo. The next song to really take note of would be I Wanna Grow Old With You , here vocals are a little more prominent than before and you realise that this, really is a good Boy Band and that they have indeed got the Best Producer around. Evergreen also gets your attention and then comes the title track- World of Our Own . Now this is easily the best number on the album and again, nothing to elaborate about here unless you're deaf.

After a break called the end of side 1, you can hear a slightly older sound with Drive . Then another peppy number comes in the form of When U Come Around . Definitely a song inspired while driving in the countryside. Noteworthy songs after these are Don't Let Me Go, Walk Away and Love Crime . The rest of the album is dotted with mediocre songs that don't stand out in any way. They are good however. Though they don't stand out, they don't bleed your eardrums either. One of the worst songs on the album is Imaginary Diva . A disastrous attempt at Funk.

The verdict? That all good looking teenage boys who worry too much about girls, seem to retain a "Boyish Charm" ( I prefer to call it a lack of Hormones) and can't stop saying "Bayeee-beh" should be sent to the middle of the Pacific. But if Boy Bands are your poison, then it's best to go with Westlife as they do not try and sell their garage experiments like ‘N Sync does. A must buy for everybody who is into Pop-music. Go out there and get it!
