Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Having spent the majority of his first two albums bitterly attacking his boy band years, it seems Robbie Williams has finally got Take That out of his system. Which means that for most of Sing When You're Winning, he is either ecstatically happy, in cheeky party mood--as with disco single "Rock DJ"--or reminding all just what a huge star he is, as with the self-appreciating/depreciating mock arrogance of his Kylie duet "Kids": he raps with a nod and a wink "I'm an honourary Sean Connery/single handedly raising the economy/ain't no chance of the record company dropping me". He's right of course, but his joy is only surface deep. With his Take That hate gone, his mocking humour has nothing to focus on--nothing except his own failings: lack of love and real self-belief. And so it is that Robbie indulges in a string of ill-advised, down-mouthed acoustic plodders, "Better Man" ("Angels" Mark II--but not quite), "If It's Hurting You", "Love Calling Earth" and "Road To Mandalay", where he shows just how frighteningly sincere he can be. Touching as they are, it's when the snarling attitude and big anthems like "Let Love Be Your Energy", "Supreme", "Knutsford City Limits" and "Forever Texas" are in full flow that the star shines and Singing When You're Winning sounds like the best thing he's done. --Dan Gennoe Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - My review for "Sing when you're Winning:!!!Sing when you're Winning, is one of Robbie William's best albums. His next best album is "Swing when you're Winning:!!! Rating: - He is definately a WINNERAll I have to say is that Robbie has released yet another great album, to which i am very pleased to own. Out of all i love 'Angel' which will always be the biggest hit for me, on his first album and 'Kids' on this album, his duet is excellent. I also like the added buzz you get at the end of the album, when you have just bought it abd you sit there waiting to hear his hidden track. He must be so proud of where he has got in his career, he has got places where in my opinion even he didnt think he would accomplish and also people that knew him, BUT HE DID. So well done and keep making those wonderfull songs we love so much. love Sarah Rating: - MORE OF THE SAME!'Life Thru A Lens' and 'I've Been Expecting You' were brilliant, showing that Robbie has elements of an undiscovered genius about him - showmanship, songwriting ability, etc. and so does this - if for slightly different reasons. The first album (LTAL) was his first stab at a solo career, branching out from the shackles and restrainsts of being a 'pop' star in Take That. It contained brilliant Oasis/Bon Jovi/Beatles/Kiss style songs and generated five hit singles. Robbie was here to stay! The second album (IBEY) was more of the same, although Robbie had established himself as a 'rock' star and was already gaining 'rock star' fees for everything. That contained even better songs and, again, generated five hit singles. Read More: Rating: - Slow burning 3rd albumWhen I first heard the album I thought Robbie had had his day. The attitude of Life Thru' A Lens and the lyrical excellence of I've Been Expecting You seemed to be lacking, making this release less engaging, less sing-alongable, and shocker of shcockers a tiny bit dull. However, once you're past the initial sense of disapointment more subtle gems begin to appear. Supreme has just the right mix of sarcasm and hope to touch a nerve. Rock DJ and Kids stick in your mind more resolutely than the first listening might suggest, and the album as a whole improves with repeat play. Lacks the WOW factor of previous releases, but still delivers the goods. Rating:  - MediocreA rather average offering from Robbie, especially if you compare it to his first album. I think Rock DJ and Kids are the best tracks, and the rest feel like fillers. Too many ballads for my liking. It seems as if this album was made just for the sake of it. No doubt it will be huge. It's lacking both lyrically and melodically and sounds like he is bored with the whole project. It can't even compare to the likes of Millennium and Jesus In A Camper Van from the last album, and Let Me Entertain You and Karma Killer from the first. Don't get me wrong, I love Robbie Williams, but I am deeply dissapointed with this offering. |
