Good Points: Got it all, something for everyone, two bonus tracks, and all for about £10 or thereabouts.

Bad Points: Right, not that this is a bad thing, but this album was a big step not only for Ronan, but his fans. To put it this way, I know Ronan's work inside out and when I first played this, I knew we had changed roads and I think the chart place told us that 21, not where Ronan Keating albums go and rightly so. Some people might call this album a flop, but I call it a risk and I think it has paid off. For me this album is the real Ronan Keating and his best work so far, hopeful for more to come.

General comments: Ronan Keating, Turn It On - This album is great. Why? It has it all from your slow ballsds we all love Ronan doing. Like one of the best on the album and my favorite "FIRST TIME." I love this song -- this song reminds me of a song from Ronan's first album called "Only For You." For me, being someone who likes to sing, and I do all Ronan's songs, this one is one of the best to sing because it really gets you in the mood. Anyway, the album has slow ballads to your upbeat tracks like "TURN IT ON AGAIN" and "BACK IN THE DAY." Both are very good and smart songs that I find myself humming and I don't even know it. Also, all the time I am singing "BACK IN THE DAY MA MA HAY HAY" over and over. Also, this album has, in the middle, tracks like "LOST FOR WORDS." I think this is one of Ronan's best singles along with "THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL." Number 9 in the charts was not right for this single. "HOLD YOU NOW" is one of the best on the album. So, if you want to sing to this album or just play it, get it ASAP -- you will love it. So, all that's left to do is say well done Ronan, keep up the good word mate, from Andrew. S

My overall summary of "Turn it on" is I really love the album it's a step up from his last two albums and you can tell he's been working hard to achieve his personal goals to release an album that both sells himself as a solo artist and to go the direction he's been working on. I just wish him every sucess for the tour and with the album, good luck Ro!!!

This album tops his previous albums in term of song quality. Written by the man himself, Turn it On is an oustanding collection of guitar-based-pop rock tunes that are bound to be hit singles. The sweet driven melody of ballads delivered by rich vocals that only Ronan's voice can bring to life. You can turn it on and discover that you may never want to turn it off.

For me the album has a natural pace, and covers all the tempos, from up with "Turn it on" and "Back in the Day" to mid with the duet with Leanne Rimes, to the slow ballads such as the outstanding track "First time" and "Let her down Easy". One of the most beautiful songs "This is your song" he wrote only days after the death of his mother, and it is a tribute to his band and fans alike that finally this song is included on an album. "I'm on my way" also deserves a mention, written with two of hi ...

If theres one word I'd use to describe, 'turn it on' by Ronan Keating, it would be 'quality'. From the crafting of the songs where all but two of them are co-written by Ronan himself (some very personal songs too), the very strong, vibrant vocals through to the wonderful musical arrangements. The opening track Turn It On Again is a great rocky song to get the album off to a great start and Back In The Day a real uptempo pop tune. For ballad lovers there is the beautiful First Time and the ver ...
