LynneRMar 2, 2003When I first listened, I'd give it 5 out of 10, as many of the tracks sounded too much the same. Now I've heard it through a few times and I can hear the layers in the music and seeing him performing them live only served to make me enjoy the intensity and humour. So up yours Playlouder and NME, lighten up or try doing it yourself.

stephentSep 17, 2003Some of these critics must be entrenched in big corp. life and are shallow as far as there music taste are concerns. This album makes me glad that I am alive. I love it and want to share with all my friends and the world.

KillaBenJan 9, 2006This is a great album to sing along to if you're trying to learn. Especially 'Love Somebody' and 'Some Kind of Beautiful'. Definitely go with the UK vesion, though- U.S. version omitts some great tracks.

T.R.Jan 15, 2003I feel it's a really personal album. most of the songs are great, combined with humour. I just lvoed it, and I love Robbie Williams.

JessicaJan 5, 2003Robbie Williams continues to advance his already unique style on this album. The songs have a refreshing rock edge, as well as some riffs that are reminiscent of old motown, like Rufus f/Chaka Khan. Now if only Williams could penetrate the market over here in America!

JohnWApr 6, 2003This album is worth each cent. It's unbelievable that such a great musician like Robbie Williams has't achieved here the status he's got everywhere else...Sure this album will make him big because it's excellent. I give it a 10 out of 10.

May 19, 2012What's with the low critic score? After 9 years, this is still an album I remember. OK, there are a lot of self-indulgent and self-deprecating songs in here, but that's how Robbie is. I really do feel bad for him for having all that pressures to "break in America". The U.S. was never ready for someone like him, and it's their loss.

MarkYJan 7, 2004I think this album is almost brilliant - granted , there are one or two bland tracks but the gems more than make up for it (something beautiful/me and my monkey). An entertaining album from a great entertainer ... nothing more - nothing less.

SamPDec 27, 2002This album sucks. Robbie Williams is about as authentic as a cheap Rolex bought on the streets of Bangkok. Some of the lyrics are laughably self-obsessed, and the music is about as middle of the road and bland as you can get.

DaveApr 7, 2005I'm a big fan of Robbie Williams and British pop in general, but this cd is truly painful to listen to. Very disappointing.

Dec 1, 2012A pretty unspectacular album. I picked out a handful of songs that are good, the rest is not really entertaining. Robbie Williams has got a good voice and he's got much better lyrics than most other pop artist have, but this album is no big deal. I enjoyed it, yet only a couple of songs are really good, as always with his work.

It doesn't help that the best song here, "Feel," sounds like a bad Richard Ashcroft B-side; the worst is a seven-minute mariachi stomp about traveling to Las Vegas with a monkey, called "Me and My Monkey."
-
Backed by stale songs, formulaic arrangements, and mediocre songwriting, Williams is forced to rely on his volcanic personality to bring this album across -- and despite a few strong performances, he sinks into lame self-parody time and time again.

Probably the weakest Robbie Williams album to date.
