  1. It ends up that most unusual of things, a stadium rock album with a personality of its own.
  2. An average effort with hints of greatness.
  3. Despite the air of musical schizophrenia, 'Intensive Care' is OK in a sort of karaoke way. [22 Oct 2005, p.43]

    I have listened to the album many times now and you find something new every time. The lyrics are fantastic and the melodies just grows. The instrumentations are the best ever of his albums. It shows he has paid much effort in these songs. Expand

    The lyrics seem more brooding and deep than a lot of his previous stuff, and there is absolutely none of the quirky, cheeky sense of humor that robbie williams built his career on. Maybe not too surprising, given the subject matter. Gone, however, are the delightful phrasing and wide-ranging tunefullness that, for me, characterised his earlier works. This album feels strained, as though williams was being pushed to meet a deadline, and just threw in some studio time to get it done without really knowing what he was trying to do. The tunes are repetitive and lack dynamics, some of them are so bad that they just make me cringe It's almost as if Robbie woke up one morning and discovered that he had forgotten everything he ever knew about how to put a tune together. I loved just about everything else he's done, but this one's a shocker. Expand
