Dec 27, 2013A brilliant singer-songwriter and an amazing album. A very talented Artist, and I highly recommend this album to anyone. One of my favourites by him.

Jul 24, 2020Again, Robbie shows us that he's a great songwriter and a great artist. He rocks a new sound and does it perfectly.

Dec 10, 2012At some parts Robbie shows that he is a good singer-songwriter, but most of the time this album is rubbish. While hearing "Won't Do That" I actually wanted to smash my head against the desk - this song is terribly bad. He obviously became too old to make good music. Sometimes his talent peeks through, but it's better to skip this release of him.
-
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.
