Boyzone Album: “Different Beat”

Their music touches your soul and moves your feet at the same time. It's a must have!

"A Different Beat" and "Paradise" and "Words" and "Isn't it a wonder" and "It's Time" were written by the boys themselves. The music and the lyrics are suited for each other and produce handsome songs that never become dull. Yet "Ben" and "Never Stop Looking For Love", which were not originally written by Boyzone, are in my opinion the more expressive and impressive ones, because of the gifted voice of Stephen Gately, who seems to sing from the bottom of his heart. He does have dramatic talent, and makes use his voice in a way I had never heard before: it is a lovely and kind angelical voice. Of course, there are poor silly songs like "Games of Love". But the fact is that the album "A Different Beat" never becomes monotonous, as the inclusion of the last song "She Moves Through The Fair" shows - and who knows this folk-like song isn't a hidden wish of Boyzone to sing out their Irish roots?

Again, not one of my favorites by Boyzone but I still enjoy hearing their harmoney and most of the selections.

I think this album is got to be one of the best if not the best albums I have ever heard. "Is'n it a Wonder" and "Mystical Experience" have to be the 2 most underrated songs that are out there. With a little more plublicity and special apperances they would surely be the biggest pop group anyewhere.

i am a boyzone fanatic! i have all of their albums but A Different Beat was the first one i bought. i HIGHLY recomend this cd to anyone! My favourite tracks are Ben and Crying In The Night. Go out and Buy it if u don't already have it!!
