Greatest Day Take That |
| It's almost 10 years to the day that Robbie Williams released 'Angels' onto an unsuspecting British public and all at once established himself as one of the 90's most successful solo artists. Leaving his former Take That band mates in the dust, they embarked on unsuccessful DJ careers, below average indie projects and misguided acting jaunts. How fortunes have changed. Whilst Robbie resides alone in L.A. addicted to Red Bull, Marlboro Reds and UFO websites, Take That have re-emerged as one of Europe's most successful pop acts; on the verge of releasing an new album and undertaking a sell-out stadium tour. On latest release, 'Greatest Day', Garry Barlow takes a rest from writing hits for the likes of Peter Kaye, Lee Mead and John Barrowman and hands over some of the creative responsibility to Mark, Jason and Howard. The result is a mid-tempo, piano and guitar driven effort that could easily be filed, along with Coldplay and Snow Patrol, in the inoffensive pop rock section. In many ways the song is merely a preamble to the upcoming tour and just in time for Christmas album, 'Circus', to be released on 1st December. 'Greatest Day' proves that whilst nostalgia is still a major factor of Take That's appeal they, unlike many other reformed groups, are still capable of writing songs that stand up to their earlier work | |
