"Beautiful World" is the fourth studio album by English pop group Take That, released on 27 November 2006. It marked the band's first studio album in 11 years and was their first as a four-piece, following Robbie Williams' departure from the group in 1995 (he rejoined in 2010). The album features five singles: "Patience," "Shine," "I'd Wait for Life," the European-only release "Reach Out," and "Rule the World," which appeared on the deluxe tour edition.
Beautiful World is described by the band as a blend of a "throwback to the 90s" with a modern twist. It is also significant for being the first album in which every member of the band—Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald, and Jason Orange—sings lead vocals on at least one track.
In 2011, Beautiful World was ranked 240th in Q magazine's readers' poll of the "250 Best Albums of the Last 25 Years," further solidifying its legacy in pop music.
