Comments about EMI Robbie Williams - Reality Killed the..:
Bought this mainly for the singles (esp Bodies). CD was cheap, so can accept that the other tracks aren't outstanding. Solid Robbie but not up to Take That recent albums

Comments about EMI Robbie Williams - Reality Killed the..:
Lyrically, this album is very good and you find yourself listening to the words especially on the ballads and mid-tempos.
There are stand-out tracks on here, the single Bones, the very Pet Shop Boys-esque Last Days of Disco and Difficult for Weirdos - all of which can be played very loudly and again, lyrically are interesting. Do you Mind is another loud track but it does get a little repetitive.
However, the album could do with some more upbeat songs as it's largely mid-tempo - Robbie's voice is often best when he's belting it out and you sometimes feel he has more to give on this album.
The Morning Sun reprise is a waste of time, don't know why he put that on there but it's a reminder that Morning Sun is probably the best ballad he's done in a while.
Overall, a good album but lacks the punch that Escapology had.

Comments about EMI Robbie Williams - Reality Killed the..:
Bought this for myself as I never had it bought for of at Christmas or my birthday and could not wait any longer. I listen to this in the house and car. No fowl language so the grandchildren can listen to it too. Usually robbies c.d.s usually contain a secret poem or short song at the end of the tracks if cd is left to play but this one does not .
