    Again, Robbie shows us that he's a great songwriter and a great artist. He rocks a new sound and does it perfectly.

    Comparisons with Older are revealing, for Robbie sounds a bit world weary here at times, and the orchestrations are layered on thickly in an attempt to bring some brightness to the grey. Sometimes this works--with the electro swagger of Bodies a case in point--but other times the colour is a pasty, codeine white.

    The more you delve into it the less you find, because it’s all affectation.

    The whole album lacks focus. Williams jumps around from big band to Pet Shop Boys electro to piano ballads to easy rocking. The one common thread is overproduction.
