Free Music Review: BETTER AND BETTER and BEST YET
Hit: 5 Stars
My liking of Robbie Williams sits out of cilter with most of the music I listen too. But in the same respect I love good story tellers in music and after all that is what Mr Williams does best. That and his [...]-sure attitude that makes it hard to hate him for too long. I am not sure how others will feel but I see a similarity between him and the great story teller Alice Cooper. Infact a great deal they are two of rock/pops best entertainers who don't mind mixing up the themes in any given release. Both have a razor blade hidden amongst even the sweetest of lyrics.
So onto the music well certainly with a change in partnership there will be change. Certainly the songs offered are far more meloncholy (bar one or two) but really this is the way the material has been heading for some time, especially on previous release 'Escapology'. He is growing up. He always has a lot to say about it and says it in abundance. There are songs of not feeling worthy of love, regret of lacking love, self doubt whilst living the high life where to the outsider everything is to be envyed. Occasionally slipping into a Bowie-esque trance we have 'Spread Your Wings', and then a tint of UK Ska early eighties in 'Tripping'. 'Ghosts' is a great opener which almost displays disbelief from Williams that he is still standing and people are still prepared to listen. 'Make Me Pure' is stripped and wears its heavy heart on its sleeve very nice indeed really being an aucoustic led piece of poetry. 'Advertising Space' is sublime in the same way that 'Feel' was. A tribute to Elvis and celebrity, it is completed by a very nice orchestration that swoons in the back ground. 'Please Don't Die' is low key and is the owner of a great chorus and again Bowie like phrasing. 'Your Gay Friend' seems a little like filler and a little too lite for this great release, perhaps a grower later. 'Sin Sin Sin' is electronic pop much like 'Radio' if not a little cheerier a summer hit for sure. The female vocals used in conjunction with Robbie's voice add a new element. 'Random Acts of Kindness' has an Eastern mysticysm attached and is blunt in asking at each bridge why people just can't get along and show each other basic respect. 'The Trouble With Me' is surely The Smiths with a little less angst and continues the high quality. The Stones obviously came into the studio for 'A Place To Crash' a great party song that will go down a storm live with doo wop horns and brassy female backing singers. Great! William's seems to like to end things on a sombre note and does again with 'King of Bloke and Bird' another therapy session it would seem and a look into his future in his thrirties, he seems to fear loosing youth. A little blue perhaps its predecessor would have been a better closer.
So there we have it. An artist who is as British as a seaside holiday in a caravan and loved in his home land and many parts of the world as a result. Don't forget though to appreciate how fine a song writer and singer he is too.
Intensive Care Poster
After two years of continuous writing with Stephen Duffy, the album, which was recorded exclusively in Los Angeles, will be released, preceded by the first single ?Tripping?. "I'm a huge fan of The Lilac Time, so I thought I'd spend a couple of days writing some folk songs with Stephen Duffy, just for a change,'' says Robbie. EMI. 2005.Stoke's favorite son's sixth studio album marks a new stage in the career of Mr. Robert Peter Williams, Britain's favourite popular entertainer. Severed from his former right-hand man, songwriter Guy Chambers, Intensive Care sees him forging a new partnership with former Lilac Time stalwart Stephen Duffy. The result is his most complete album to date, free from the gimmicky fillers--like "Me and My Monkey" and "Jesus In A Camper Van"--that tended to drag previous efforts down. Never short of cocksure bravado, Robbie starts proceedings off with a modest declaration--"Here I stand victorious, the only man who made you come," but for once he's got the tunes to back up the posturing. There are plenty of classic Robbie tracks, from the ballad-tastic "Advertising Space"--which should see "Angels" relegated to the backbenches--to the public confessional of "The Trouble With Me"; plus some daring departures in between, from the '80s pop fun of "Sin Sin Sin" to the Rolling Stones-like "A Place to Crash", via the Oasis-lite of "Make Me Pure" and the Smiths-esque guitars on "Your Gay Friend." You can't help but feel that Mr. Williams has a point to make with this album, to all the people who said he'd be nothing without Guy Chambers; if that is the case, he couldn't have gone about it a better way than by serving up the best album of his career to date. --Melanie Wilkin
