Mitte der 90er-Jahre begannen vier Geschwister der Familie Corr aus Dundalk/Irland mit Songs wie "Runaway", "The Right Time" oder "Love To Love You" die Airplay-Charts zu stürmen. Mit ihrer unverwechselbaren Mischung aus harmonischem Pop und sanftem Folk spielte sich das Quartett schnell in die Herzen vieler Hörer und ihr Weg nach ganz oben war geebnet. Mit Talk On Corners und der dazugehörigen Tournee erreichten The Corrs traumhafte Verkaufszahlen, und auch der Nachfolger The Corrs Unplugged war ein echter Topseller. Auf ihrem bislang letzten Studio-Album In Blue war zwar nicht mehr allzu viel zu hören von irischen Klängen, sondern nur perfekt produzierter Pop, doch die Harmonie, die für ihre Musik bestimmend ist, hatten sie nicht eingebüßt. Das nun erscheinende Best Of-Album ist eine hervorragende Werkschau der Iren, welches neben ihren großen Hits auch zwei neue Songs zu bieten hat: Would You Be Happier und "Make You Mine". Einziges Manko an diesem Album: das wirklich sehr ansehnliche Booklet hat zwar viele schöne Fotos zu bieten, jedoch sucht man die Texte vergebens - dabei hätten die sich doch bei dieser Sammlung geradezu angeboten.

The opening line of the first song ("Would You Be Happier") begins "Have you ever wondered where the story ends, and how it all began" which raises questions about the future of the band, especially as it's the opening track of their definitive Best of collection. Despite becoming one of the world's biggest pop groups in the late 1990s, the Corrs were almost transformed over-night from being one of the chicest groups around to being one of the un-coolest. Their mass appeal led to certain sections of their fan base rapidly searching for other distinctive types of music, and their third studio album In Blue was shunned by many. Despite what your opinion may be of the group, there is no disputing that Corrs classics such as "So Young" and "I Never Loved You Anyway" are catchy, pleasant tunes that succeed so well because they are so simple. All the other favourites are also on here, including "Only When I Sleep" and "Give Me Reason", as well as three tracks from 1999's Unplugged album ("Radio", "Everybody Hurts" and "Lough Erin Shore"). Although the collection closes with the unremarkable new track "Make You Mine", the penultimate song is "Dreams", the Fleetwood Mac track that finally brought them success. Even if it means swallowing your pride, now may be the time to rediscover the wonder of the Corrs.

The Best of the Corrs features many of the Irish band's best-known songs from the mid- to late '90s, conveniently compiled onto one disc. Featured songs include "Right Time," "Dreams," "What Can I Do," and "Runaway," in addition to 15 others. Since the Corrs only released a handful of albums during the era captured on this disc, The Best of the Corrs isn't quite a vast as you'd expect a best-of collection to be. However, it's still a nice one-stop album for casual fans as well as those curious about the Corrs and not yet ready to begin exploring the group's LPs.
