                    [Summary] => The release of a greatest hits album is an occasion for an artist  to take stock. How far has one gone? How much farther can one go? And in what direction? Such a time has apparently arrived for Westlife with the release of Unbreakable, a compilation of the group’s hits and a sampling of six new songs. The assessment, in a capsule, is that while there is much to look back on, what lies ahead may be a path too straight and too narrow to be worth treading.

                    [Summary] => Three years ago, the sales clerks at Radio City were practically forcing Westlife’s first single on me. The cassette was cheap, and the CD came with a free poster and a Westlife backpack. Nobody in Asia had heard of the Irish group then, but a pen pal of mine in the U.K. had warned me months ahead that Westlife (then called Westside) was going to be the next boy band sensation. Why? "Because all of the boys are cute, all of them sing, and they have the backing of one Ronan Keating."
