Being the first boy band to reach No. 1 in the UK with four consecutive singles is a fine achievement, so this self-titled debut album from the photogenic Irish quintet is a welcome release, particularly as all of those hits are included. Specializing in emotional songs about love, both lost and found, Westlife sound rather like a young Wet Wet Wet. The highlight of this generous 17-track collection is the chart-topper "Flying Without Wings"--with its climactic chorus there's not a dry eye in the house. Fiddle and tin whistle provide a subtle and appropriate Celtic feel, for example on the cover of "Seasons in the Sun." Fans of Five and the Backstreet Boys will enjoy these well-produced and finely sung ballads. Don't look here for drama and bite, but for melodic solace. With expert advice from Boyzone's Ronan Keating, how could Westlife fail to succeed?
