Title: It's all about context and expectations....
Product review: I'd never heard of Michael Buble until I was wrapping holiday CDs for shoppers at Borders the week before Christmas, so from that standpoint, I'd say his marketing machine is not quite up to snuff.... but because I wrapped it so many times, I figured others must be onto something so I bought this eponymous CD. Upon first review, I was quite pleased. While other reviewers may critique Mr. Buble for not having a 'unique' sound, one has to consider both context and expectations. Mr. Buble does a good job at reinvigorating some of the 'old standards' and adds pretty good production values in the process. It is hard to imagine anyone who is looking for a new twist on some old standard and says "Let's put on some good 'mood music'" who is unsatisfied upon putting this CD in the machine. It's all about context and expectations. Buble delivers within the context in which he is working; it's somewhat original, but also very familiar....
