This album is classic, easy-listening Ronan Keating: inoffensive background noise in which 16 tracks flow into each other with barely a change in pace or pitch.
Nothing grates on your senses and little excites them either.
Boyzone's Keating will never rock the music world by producing ground-breaking new sounds, relying instead on ballads, good looks and blue-eyed Irish charm. But with 16 top five singles, including six number ones, he hits the spot for many, and this retrospective will delight die-hard fans with such highlights as Father And Son, We've Got Tonight with Lulu, When You Say Nothing At All, If Tomorrow Never Comes and latest single I Hope You Dance.
Thankfully, his cover of The Pogues' Fairytale Of New York is absent.
