Solid album.......2005-06-06

The Corrs second CD TALK ON CORNERS put the Irish group further into the pop music stratosphere. It is easily their best album so far in their career. Filled with radio friendly hits like "What Can I Do", "Only When I Sleep", "I Never Loved You Anyway", "So Young" and a great cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams". This Special Edition of the cd features their singles in remixed form. Also a bonus track, a remix of Runaway which was later rereleased as a single in 1999. Other highlights include "Don't Say You Love Me", "Hopelessly Addicted", "When He's Not Around" and "Love Gives, Love Takes". Overall a great pop album!

For all who likes to be remixed ;).......2003-12-02

Talk On Corners album went successfuly in many of countries and several singles taken of it were remixed. And guess what happened! All the original versions were replaced by these remixes and the "Talk On Corners Special Edition" was made. To be honest, I don't like this way. I can't understand it what led to remix (and make worst...) Runaway of debut Forgiven, Not Forgotten so it is to be found here also. Other songs are the same, without any change, so here is the question if the album is worthwile to buy just because of five remixes... on the other hand - all the remix fanatics will be pleased for sure...

Songs review:

What Can I Do (Tin Tin Out remix) - even though I don't like remixes, this is quite good - a combination of strings and percussions sounds well...

So Young (K-Klass mix) - I cannot say this remix is bad; even though hasn't added any improvement, it is interesting, because this in this version there is one more verse! So we can enjoy 30 seconds more of optimism and happiness of life...

Dreams (Tee's radio) - oh my God! This style doesn't fit The Corrs in any way! The melodic song was defiled by various techno and electronic sounds which made it good only for night club party, sorry...

I Never Loved You Anyway (remix) - a bit different arrangement, for those who aren't musical enought, probably difference unable to hear. What's a pity, the song ends up with: "I'm delighted you're moving away" and what was the best, the instrumental epilogue... is simply away...

Runaway (Tin Tin Out remix) - the original version is sweet, but still pleasant to listen. The most beautiful was the gradation "I would runaway with you..." and the following guitar mini-solo - which I'm missing so much in this remix. It was a connection between this verse and refrain, now this sounds very unnaturally. What a shame...

Excellent pop -.......2003-05-18

You can't get any luckier than this unless you're the Osmonds or the Jacksons - a family with good looks, great hooks, musicianship, style and grace. It's appalling that they haven't sold a zillion records here in the US. Perhaps it's because they've been "marketed" as an Irish group -- yet the Irishness is only incidental. Andrea Corr has an unmistakable voice and the group writes very polished pop songs; nothing heavy, mind you, just enjoyable. They have more musical depth to them than most prefabricated pop groups and these sibling can really play. This album is their best by far...let's hope they continue.

breathless.......2003-02-16

My friend recommended this CD to me when I was in London. Since it was on sale, i said what the hell. After I heard it, I was totally hook. It was just too bad that when i got back to the States, they are not as widely known. But i am always looking forward to their new CD or DVD. Futhermore, you get some extra songs that are not release in the US version.

"Of Corrs", this is the best album, if you pardon the pun !!.......2001-07-24

I know this CD has became harder to find, but I think we should take into consideration the two sides of the coin.

Some facts 'bout this CD version of "Talk On Corners":

***The version of 'Dreams' alone is a reason to get this record;

***It is pretty much of the same vintage as was their famous album "Forgiven Not Forgotten". Unlike the Special Edition and, for what it's worth, their album "In Blue", more pop-oriented(quite good still different), this album retains much of the Irish accents and folkish qualities that make them so unique;

***The original version of 'What Can I Do' (on the present CD) is, in my opinion, much more better than the remix on the current Special Edition album. Vocals, in particular, are much more vivid. One listen and you'll know the difference;

Tracks:

What Can I Do - Tin Tin Out Remix
Only When I Sleep
So Young - K-Klass Remix
Dreams - Tee's Radio Mix
Runaway - Tin Tin Out Remix
I Never Loved You Anyway

Queen Of Hollywood
Hopelessly Addicted
When He's Not Around
No Good For Me
Little Wing

Having created a worldwide sensation with their albums Forgiven, Not Forgotten and Talk on Corners, Ireland's Corrs await the hit that will break them wide open in America. To that end, the group (who've earned a Rolling Stones openers slot) has issued a retooled version of its sophomore set, featuring five songs recast by some of Europe's hottest mixmasters, including K-Klass ("So Young"), Tin Tin ("What Can I Do?" and "Runaway," the latter song being from the group's debut), and "Dreams" (the Stevie Nicks song, remixed by Todd Terry, who turned Everything but the Girl's "Missing" into a smash). The new mixes for the most part aren't radical departures from the originals but strip away some elements, and add some spit and polish to others. "Dreams" is notable for taking the song even harder toward the dance floor without losing its appealing Celtic edge. The rest of the album is the same as the original version of Talk on Corners minus a few tracks, but still including their lovely version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing." --Daniel Durchholz

Customer Reviews:

Deservingly one of the greats!.......2006-11-12

Of all the Corrs' albums, this one has the most mixing of the traditional sound of Forgiven, Not Forgotten and the full on pop sound of In Blue. The lyrics take a mature look at relationships, and Andrea's dreamy voice is at its best. All of the Corrs' albums are must haves, but this is a good starting point.

A Virgin Top 100 album? Puh-leeze!.......2006-10-21

I got roped into listening to this because it appeared on the Virgin "Top 100 Albums Ever" poll. I'd always thought "Runaway" was a nice tune, sounding like Wilson-Phillips with their Irish cousins helping out. The Corrs peddle a sort of lite Celtic pop with English lyrics. Unfortunately, too little time seems to be spent on the words. ("Queen of Hollywood" is particularly abysmal, a cliche about the small-town girl who's out to take Tinseltown by storm.)

The Irish band has been popular elsewhere on the globe but not Stateside. With this album, the tunes on the original TALK ON CORNERS are remixed to try and lend more pop appeal for the American market. (The band's big U.S. breakthrough wouldn't come until "Breathless" on followup disc IN BLUE).

HIGHLIGHTS:
"Runaway" doesn't stray too far from the original and its still a nicely lilting mid-tempo number with a fair amount of Celtic influence. While I don't like it as well as the Cranberries' cover, their take on Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" is also decent with a dance floor cast given to it. It's listenable but nothing that really remakes the song their own.

LOWS:
"Queen of Hollywood" and the pretentious pathos of "When he's Not Around" are easily the disc's nadirs. Hendrix cover "Little Wing" also fails, not because I feel the band commits musical sacrilege but because they can't choose a direction. It can't decide if it wants to be a smooth jazz retool or a Celtic re-interpretation (wasting some nice arrangement efforts by the Chieftains' Paddy O'Reilly because of the dilly-dallying).

BOTTOM LINE:
C'mon..couldn't people really have come up with something better to hail as one of the 100 finest recorded pieces of music ever?

The Corrs Remixed.......2006-02-07

This is my latest Corr's CD I have listened to and needed to listen to the songs 3 more times over to get a full review in my head. I am The Corrs fan and I know that within Australia, The Corrs are gaining a wide and steady fan base amongst pop listeners. Truly, what is not to like about this band of young Irish ladies and gent. Andrea Corr is the lead female vocalist of this talented group and she has a fine musical voice rich and pure and just right for this style of music. This album is unique for the Corrs as it includes 5 remixes from European mixers such as K-Klass and Tin Tin.

'Talk On Corners' is a limited special edition CD that was released in North America first to try to open up a new and wider support base and the plan worked with the Corr's remixed song 'Runaway' popular on US radio's. The song's that are remixed are; 'What Can I Do', 'Runaway' remixed by Tin Tin Out. 'So Young' remixed by K-Klass and 'Dreams' is a radio edit mix.

However what captured my attention and my immediate like were the new songs 'Paddy McCarthy' which was a return to native Irish instrumentals and 'Hopelessly Addicted'. The last track is a take off from Jimmy Hendric's 'Little Wing' that sure isn't a bad listen.

Overall this album is worth the buy and listen. It takes some time to grow on you, but trust me, you will like the end product. The Corrs continue their journey and I look forward to more album released by this foursome of talent.

Good remixes.......2005-07-21

Y'all should shut up before talking. These "garbage" dance remixes that you ignorants are talking about are what made Corrs have top10 hit after top10 hit, whilst the originals flopped badly. The remixes are all superb, and anyone who disagrees has poor music taste!

I LOVE this cd!!.......2004-11-04

I recommend this CD to everyone ... I never get bored. Listen to it in the shower, in the car, or just sitting there. It's an awesome CD. This is by far my favorite Corrs cd :).

Customer Reviews:

The Corrs rock!!!.......2001-04-02

The Corrs are one of the coolest bands to recently come out of Ireland. This is my favourite album of the Corrs and i have to admit to loving the remixes!! I first heard of the Corrs through their cover version of Dreams which got me hooked. All the songs are perfect, but especially to mention are What can i do, I never loved you anyway, Queen of Hollywood, Runaway, When hes not around and Intimacy!! One to add to your shopping basket...

The Corrs RULE!.......2001-02-04

I am a deep fan of the Corrs and to be honest with you this would have to be one of their best albums. Although there might not be much difference between this special edition and the normal edition, get this one if any because you'll love it the moment you get it.

1. What Can I Do (Tin Tin Out Remix) - ***** very very good! This version is nearly as good as the Unplugged version. 2. So Young (K-Klass Remix) - **** 1/2 nice song, but isn't a classic. 3. Only When I Sleep - ***** now this is a good song! One of the best singles on the album. 4. When He's Not Around - **** 1/2 excellent song; could do with a little 'peppering' up 5. Dreams (Tee's Radio) - ***** great single and best remix so far 6. I Never Loved You Anyway - **** 1/2 unique track; but wasn't a very good selling single though 7. Don't Say You Love Me - ***** one of the best non-singles on the album! 8. Love Gives, Love Takes - ***** brilliant song and great lyrics 9. Runaway (Tin Tin Out Remix) - ***** corrs classic of course & their first single but I don't know why they put it on the album 10. Hopelessly Addicted - ***** at first you might not like it but it turns out to be a very good lyrical track! 11. Paddy McCarthy - ***** BEST track on the album! chilling instrumental, great quality 12. Initimacy - ***** my favourite non-single, non-instrumental track on the album! great chorus with oohooh in it hehhe 13. Queen of Hollywood - **** 1/2 the corrs seem to like this one a lot (because they put it on Unplugged) but it is a little boring. The lyrics are good though! 14. No Good For Me - ***** fab lyrics although the song is a little dreary. It grows on you though! 15. Little Wing - ***** very nice Hendrix cover!

Overall: Best tracks: PADDY McCARTHY, INTIMACY, WHAT CAN I DO

Last words: BUY IT!

Their 3rd release of the exact same music.......1999-11-17

Oh, boy! Yet ANOTHER special edition. First there's Talk On Corners, then there's the first special edition of Talk On Corners, now another special edition. That's right, folks, just keep spending your money on the same songs. Their music is great and everything, but when do we get to hear something new? Don't even waste your money with the "special editions". The original Talk On Corners is good enough. Don't waste your money unless you're a die-hard fan who just has to have everything they do.

I love their music!!.......1999-06-08

The Corrs have a natural talent in music and very good voices. Their music just sounds beautiful with all those Irish instruments in it. It's pure beauty. The Corrs are one of my favourite bands and i think they're just fab!!

The Corrs is really amazing!!.......1999-06-04

This is a special edition from thier album Talk On Corners,and i know you had hooked by the original one,then buy this one as well,you'll be hooked again and again. The lead vocal from thier band-Andrea Corr,she's brilliant in every possible way!I really love her and the band too,and i know you'll do so.
