Album Description
Available in:
Back Again... No Matter What is the fourth compilation album released by Irish boyband Boyzone. The album was released on 13 October 2008. It became the bands sixth top ten album in the United Kingdom, charting at #4 and staying in the top one-hundred for forty-three non-consecutive weeks. It also peaked at #3 in Ireland, selling a total of 445,100 copies sold in the United Kingdom, 40,000 in Ireland and 540,000 worldwide. Three new recordings were made for the album: "Love You Anyway", "Better" and "Can't Stop Thinking About You", the former of which were both releases as singles in promotion of the album. The three new songs were the first new material recorded by the band in nine years, and the last to be recorded before the death of Stephen Gately. The band's tour in the summer of 2008 was the tenth highest grossing set of concerts for that year.

User Album Review
When Boyzone were first about, a decision had to be made. It was either Boyzone or Take That. To like both was the ultimate sin in the life of a teenage girl, and if you were foolish enough to choose the Boyzone option, you weren't really worth hanging out with.
Now wanting a piece of TT's comeback pie, they're back, playing a sold out tour to their adoring public, and releasing Back Again... No Matter What - a compilation of their greatest hits, plus three new songs, and a live version of Ronan's Life Is A Rollercoaster.
While the bad are either hilarious (Love Me For A Reason) or coma inducing (You Needed Me), the good amongst Boyzone's 16 consecutive top 5 hits still make us smile. 1998's #1 No Matter What, penned by Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Jim Steinman for musical The Woman In White, was a highlight, particularly as Ronan finally let someone else sing the main part. Ronan's traditional growl is, of course, omnipresent, especially in Baby Can I Hold You, one of four covers. When it comes to new songs, Love You Anyway recaptures the Motown fun first heard in Picture of You but Can't Stop Thinking About You is an awkward electro song that doesn't fit the band at all.
Ultimately there's no denying the greatest Boyzone song - A Different Beat. We are not even slightly being sarcastic here by declaring this one of our favourite pop songs of the 1990s just for its extreme randomness. Yes, for some unknown reason, Boyzone, bored of soppy ballads, decided what they were missing were African drums, chanting, foreign languages, thunder, a rousing middle eight, lyrics to solve world peace and a trembling piano. Everything is forgiven just for these four minutes. Amazing doesn't even cover it.
If you love Boyzone, you'll love this. If not, well you might just find yourself a bit surprised by how many songs you're happily singing along. Perhaps after eight years of Westlife, Boyzone sound like a treat.
