Editorial Review:
Produced by Robert John 'Mutt' Lange and Mitchell Froom, who Give the Irish Siblings' Music a Kick in the Arse. The New Sound is More Power Pop, Yet Retaining their Lush Harmonies.
Description of In Blue:
Having proved with an MTV Unplugged session that they are more than just a bunch of pretty faces and can actually play their instruments, Celtic-poppers the Corrs returned to the studio for their third "proper" album. Owners of Unplugged will already be familiar with two of the tracks here, "At Your Side" and "Radio," which are given the full studio treatment and endowed with a much fuller sound. Unfortunately, this is not necessarily a good thing, as the album as a whole tends to be overproduced--taking the raw folky qualities and folding them into a far more sanitized whole. As a result, the standout tracks tend to be the more up-tempo ones--"Breathless" and "No More Cry." To be fair, when the Corrs are good, they're very, very good; but when they're bad, they're just dull. Unlike their previous albums, In Blue doesn't seem to be quite so flowing. With several different producers working on it (including Mr. Shania Twain, "Mutt" Lange), maybe it was a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth. --Mel Roberts
In Blue Reviews:
Leave Me Breathless 
2009-05-04 - In Blue by The Corrs is fifty-nine minutes and four seconds and was released on September 12, 2000. In Blue reached #21 on the U.S. Billboard 200 Album charts and #1 on the U.S. Top Internet Albums and went Platinum. Only two songs reached the United States Billboard charts. The genre of the music is done in a Celtic pop rock. The CD was criticized for going more and losing its Celtic sound. Despite this criticism the album reached #1 status in some European countries. Despite mixed reviews, the CD in my opinion is great to listen to. In Blue by The Corrs gets an AAA+++.

Greatness
2008-03-24 - When I was younger, I used to love the Corrs. I still do, and I think their music has grown with the generations. 'In Blue' is their catchiest album and it's got the whole glitzy, glam, powerpop that makes you want to dance and sing along. Their most 'known' hits were from this album - and with good reason - this one is the most marketable, music industry wise.
Best Tracks include - "Radio", "At Your Side", "No More Cry", "Would You Be Happier", "Give Me A Reason", "Breathless" and "Iresistable".
One of my favorite all-time albums
2008-02-17 - This album is one of the most pop-ish sounding offerings from the Corrs. It is danceable and catchy (Breathless, Irresistible, Radio, Rebel Heart) and contemplative (Give Me a Reason, One Night, Hurt Before). When I listen to music I mainly want to be feeling good. The slower and more melancholic tunes are needed to balance out the effect, so to speak. This album does all that I want perfectly.
There are some more memorable Corrs songs on other albums, but this one has the most danceable songs. Sometimes I need to bop my shoulders a bit.
Great pop with incredible vocal harmonies... 
2007-04-21 - Normally my music preferences are hard rock/metal(child of the late 70's and 80's), but I really like this album. I came across it in a used bin and decided to take a chance on it because I liked the single Breathless, I'm glad I did. The Songs are simple pop songs with great melodies and the Irish influence that is mixed in definitely adds to the music. The standout feature, to me, are the vocal harmonies. Andrea Corr has a beautiful voice, and the harmonies provided by the rest of the Corrs are perfect. The production on the album was provided by Mutt Lange, so you know it's pristine in it's quality.
Song Highlights include: Breathless, Give Me A Reason, All The Love In The World, Radio, No More Cry and Rebel Heart(a cool instrumental).
This is pop music with the added bonus that the band has a great deal of musical talent, which makes it stand out(at least to me). If you like simple pop songs you will like In Blue.
um, cost effective?
2007-02-12 - how can anyone dispute the amount of musical bang you get for around 3 bucks including shipping with this cd? I think that Radio and One Night are fine tunes. This cd is one very cost effective collection of music, so don't hesitate to buy it.
