`The Circus'
(Universal)
It's always hard to stage a comeback, but British boyband Take That has proven detractors wrong when they reunited in 2006 with ``Beautiful World.'' Take That continues to surpass expectations with their new album ``The Circus.'' Members Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald have shown that a boyband can reinvent itself into a vocal group.
The album is filled with a mix of cheery songs such as ``Hello'' and sentimental including the Beatles-inspired ``The Circus.'' The best track is probably ``Greatest Day,'' a soaring number that shows hints of U2. Barlow, frontman and songwriter, has to be given credit for bringing Take That back to the top.
