Rating: - Give them a break! It's different - but still brilliant!

I am no fan of 'pop' music as it stands today. Most of it is dreadful. But I love this. What does that tell you? I would be lying if I said this was the best that the Corrs could produce, because it's not. But I have to say as a long standing Corrs fan, it is very, very good. It's full of heartfelt, meaningful lyrics, and top quality tunes, just like their two previous albums produced. Their songs tell a story every time, unlike the usual 'pop' that everyone compares them to. Just think of Somebody for Someone, or Hurt Before. These are written from the heart which another element of the Corrs songs that I fell in love with - not just their blend of Irish melodies and 'pop' tunes. Their genius and talent shine through in every song. That was evident to me the first time I listened to this album a month ago. So come on you critics out there - LISTEN to it.

Rating: - Corrs leaving us '(In) Blue'

Is it just me, or has Andrea Corr swapped her voice for a souless (and less talented)replica?

Apart from the excellent 'Rain', (and of course 'Radio' and 'At your side' which, should have been left in their Unplugged form)I see little to recommend. There are too many changes in musical style, in a way that can only suggest that they undoubtdly selling themselves out to the teeny bopper market.

This CD has made me change my mind about making an effort to see them live.

Rating: - The Corrs - In Blue - Still the best

Yet another classy album from the ultimate Irish band..who needs Boyzone or Westlife. Everything is original materialand the tunes and lyrics are as good as ever. A must buy this summer and it certainly left me Breathless!

Rating: - 2000's best AOR album?

I was a bit sceptical about this, as I loved "Forgiven not Forgotten" but thought "Talk on Corners" was a bit of a bland sell-out. But one listen had me hooked - what a great AOR album! Very contemporary in sound, but not even a hint of nasty modern dance trends. Despite all these mutterings about "outside writers", no outside credits apart from a handful of co-credits from R J Lange (which surely is all to the good). And "Give Me a Reason" really is an absolute classic AOR song, complete with - wait for it - guitars! There are also more "Irish" touches than some people have given them credit for.

Though I must say that, while Andrea has a very appealing voice, it isn't the world's strongest, and she struggles to pronounce her R's. Ann Wilson, or Lana Lane, or Amanda Marshall could blow her away. But I'd crawl over hot coals for Sharon.....

Rating: - Does it leave you IN BLUE ?

From my REBEL HEART all I can SAY about In Blue is simply IRRESISTABLE. The Corrs have produced a better album than any of their successful predecessors. Catchy melodies that won't leave your head and lyrics that you would die for. Best tracks must be - Breathless, Say, No more cry, Hurt Before. Buy it and be left BREATHLESS.
