Musically and vocally, there's few surprises but at least lyrically he's moved on from clever-ish wordplay and inane love songs, to tell tales of being generally screwed-up at the hands of the multi-million dollar pop machine.
-
More than anything in his career, Escapology is literally riddled with confession and confusion.
-
Occasionally, Williams even manages candor without cockiness.
-
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."

BlenderBeing shallow and immature is both his strength and his weakness. [Apr 2003, p.131]
-
Probably the weakest Robbie Williams album to date.
-
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.
