Beautiful World is the fourth studio album by the English pop group Take That. Released on 27 November 2006, it was the band`s first studio album in 11 years; it was also the band`s first album to be released as a four-piece instead of the original five-piece, without Robbie Williams, who had quit the group in 1995 and was not to rejoin them until 2010. Five singles were released from the album: `Patience`, `Shine`, `I`d Wait for Life`, the European-only single `Reach Out`, and `Rule the World`, which appeared on the deluxe tour edition. The album features what Take That describe as `a throwback to the 90s, but with a modern twist`. Beautiful World is their first album in which every member of the band sings lead vocals on at least one song, as well as contributing to the songwriting and production.

In 2011, Beautiful World was ranked at number 240 in Q`s readers poll of the `250 Best Albums of the Last 25 Years`.[1]

Background
During work on the Ultimate Tour, the group contemplated making another Take That album. It was agreed that everyone would contribute to the songwriting process, thus sharing in the production and the royalties. John Shanks was brought in to serve as a producer for the album.

The title `Beautiful World` was chosen by band member Howard Donald. In an interview, Mark Owen revealed the original idea was to call the album `Shine` after the song of the same name. Another alternate title `Patience` was considered, but Gary Barlow demurred on the grounds of a previously-released album by George Michael.

All tracks are written by Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange, and produced by John Shanks, additional songwriters are noted below.
