I agree with the other reviewers this is Robbie back to his best. My lovely husband brought me this for Christmas, and I have played it constantly in the car ever since. Normally my children would be begging me to change CD's by now, but even they like it, especically my 9 year old son(a huge Transformers fan) who loves Deceptacon. So it looks like a whole new generation of fans to me!
 I could say this was good, but I would be lying. February 10, 2010

This is a pretty dull contribution from Robbie who has never really got back on form since his older stuff such as I've been Expecting You.
There isn't a single song that sticks out on this album as being particularly catchy or memorable. If I had heard it before, I wouldn't have bothered buying it. Too many slow songs and not enough 'oomph' from our Rob.
He really could do with pulling a corker out the bag as it's been a while.
 DVD disappoints February 1, 2010

The point of getting the Deluxe edition with the DVD is that you want the DVD. I was expecting the DVD to contain the promotional videos for the songs on the CD. It turned out to be a short film of RW talking to camera and telling us that he hadn't done 'work' for three years and how talented the photographer is and how nice all the people working on the photo shoot are and he has a house in Wiltshire. We also see him riding his motorcycle.Whilst all these things are very interesting this would have been a good filler on DVD with what we really want, to see the Videos. Or is the answer in the Title.

This album is fantastic. I've been a Robbie fan for a long time, but I think that this is the only album I possess of his that has no 'duds' on it. I love them all! Great to have him back at the top again.

I'm a 30 year old bloke and have always been a huge fan of Rob. I loved it in the early days when he was taking huge inspiration from Brit-Pop, particularly Oasis. If you listen to Life Thru a Lens again, that is seriously an outstanding record. AMAZING. I've Been Expecting You was a different class, and Sing When You're Winning is a decent album. Intensive Care was Shakey but with a couple of good tracks but Escapology was again, fantastic. I never liked the swing stuff, not my bag. I think Rudebox was actually a brave album - funny because NME said he was a musical genius with that album, then the red tops slated it, so they changed their opinion only weeks later. It became popular to hate him, just like is was fashionable to hate Oasis at the back end of the 90's. Big acts go through that. I've said for the last couple of years that Robbie will be back with something great. Bodies is a decent single, I'll give it that - a bit Primal Scream with subtle hints of Kasabian, in a much milder sense. But the album... I'm gutted. I so, so, so WANTED to like this album. I've even TRIED to like it. But it's just boring. I'm not against a balad, but this doesn't even have anything like that. It's just one slow 'i don't know what type of music I want to be' track after another. I've had the album since Christmas and have given it a chance. I'm sorry to say that there really ISN'T a SINGLE decent song on the whole album. Yes, the production is good, yes everything sounds professional - it should be when you at his level. But the actual songs are totally rubbish. Not catchy, not with power or emotion. It's like a poor tribute to his former self. And I don't say this lightly - I AM a fan. Don't compare in to Rudebox, I know that's NOT to a lot of people's taste. Compare it to his 1st two albums - this is one MASSIVE let down. I give two stars for Bodies, and Morning Sun being played live. This really is a bad album, even if he'd not had a break - even worse as it's his come back record. Think he should stop teaming up with 'pop-legends' like Stephen duffy and Trevor Horn - I think he should do it himself, and find a producer with balls. He can do it alone - Come Undone is his 1st totally independent song without Chambers, and I think one of, if not his very best, so HE can do it. Sorry to say, I hope the next one is better because this is utter rubbish.
