Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: With the help of producer/songwriters William Orbit, Mark Ronson, Jerry Meehan, Joey Negro and Soul Mekanik (plus guests as diverse as The Pet Shop Boys and Lily Allen), Robbie Williams has achieved a most radical transformation. Gone is the slick, pop-rogue of yesteryear: in his place is a new Robbie that raps, embraces club beats and (mostly) favours personal indulgence over cheesy, universal pop. Recent single "Rudebox", all electronic riddims and slack-rap vocal delivery, was just the start of this transition. The rest of Rudebox completes the remarkable overhaul with several eclectic covers - from Manu Chau's "Bongo Bong" and Lewis Taylor's underground classic "Lovelight," to subversive takes on The Human League ("Louise"), My Robot Friend ("We're The Pet Shop Boys") and Stephen Duffy ("Kiss Me") – and tracks such as "Keep On", "Good Doctor" and "Dickhead", which confirm his quite bewildering quest to becoming a comedic, Staffs-accented version of The Streets. Slightly more serious are his attempts at what he describes as 'wonky pop'. Songs like "Viva Life On Mars", his odd ode to Madonna ("She's Madonna"), the dark "The Actor" and catchy club-hit-in-waiting "Never Touch That Switch" all feature innovative production and interesting arrangements. Toward the end, we get "The 80s" and "The 90s", two more amusing "rap"-tracks that cover the singer's adolescence and his Take That years respectively; these underline the nostalgic, end-of-an-era feel of the LP. Audaciously eclectic and admirably upfront, Rudebox is overtly a form of personal catharsis. Not all the experiments work, but they're better than you might think, and now they're off his chest it'll be interesting to see where the new Robbie Williams heads to next.--Paul Sullivan Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - FantasticThis is a truly amazing album from Robbie!!. Packed with groovy beats, catchy melodies and brilliant lyrics, this is a must have for any pop music fan. Highlights include Lovelight, Viva Life on Mars, She's Madonna, Good Doctor, The 80's, The 90's, The Actor...oh heck..all of them. The DVD is also interestng. Watching his mood before the Milan gig broke my heart, but seeing him after that amazing show makes me smile. Great performance of Rudebox and a trailer of the upcoming DVD which looks ACE!!!!! Rating: - "I found myself by circumstance"...This seems to be the ALBUM of the year that even music critics either love or hate. When Escapology came out it was an album that sort of had grow on you because it was different, and this is another one that might need that... Some of the songs are simply electro/rap/pop that dosn`t give me anything, but then there`s these tracks that are so brilliant they lift the album to a totally different level: The first time I listened to Viva Life On Mars I went "oh no! what on earth is this country inspired sound doing on a RW cd?" The second time; "it`s actually not that bad" and it`s still growing on me Bongo Bongo is one of several coverversions, but I so want to go on hols! She`s Madonna ...

I bought it this week, have heard it a few times now, and personally think that it is the funniest album I have heard for a long time. Some of the lyrics had me in stitches, especially those in Good Doctor, the 80's and the 90's, autobiographical songs where Rob is at his witty best and that many people can identify with, at least the two last ones. The whole album presents a collection of 80s'-influenced electro-pop tunes, some of them originals and some well chosen covers, such as the amazing Lovelight and the bonkers Bongo Bong. Also collaborations with the likes of the Pet Shop Boys ...

I don't know if it's simply because I'm the same age as Robbie and have therefore been subject to lots of the same influences as him growing up, or if it's that we've got a lot in common generally, but this is an album which I can really relate to, from Robbie's constant references to the music and pop stars that I grew up with as well as lines from (and covers of) my favourite 80's pop songs, to his incredible sense of humour which shines through in almost every track. It's definitely an album you can laugh as well as sing along to if you listen carefully enough to the lyrics! My favourite track is ... Read More: Rating: - Robbie out does himself!!With the little tidbits I was hearing about this album I was anxiously awaiting the release of Rudebox. I was not let down!!! Robbie goes from dance/country to electro/dance to rap and back again...what a ride!! Don't let the rap scare you off--Good Doctor, for one, is ACE...hilarious lyrics and a great beat! Lovelight is the shining star imo, and his work with the Pet Shop Boys (We are the Pet Shop Boys and She's Madonna) are other extremely high points! Give this album a listen--you won't be disappointed!! |
