Title: Ahh, the beautiful disposable pop
Review: I wonder if anyone is lacking in irony enough to accuse Robbie Williams of being ear candy... or lame enough to accuse people of accusing him of being ear candy. Either way, this album is inconsistently wonderful, and even the low points are fun. When I say low points, I just mean indistinct. His voice is a wonderfully predictable mix of alternative and R & B, and the production is perfectly clean and sterile. You just want to sing along to everything and not feel any shame... except for that "monkey" song, which has too many words to remember. There is plenty of wit ("Handsome Man"), as there is plenty of lame ("Handsome Man"). You'll play it constantly for a month, then get sick of it. Then remember it 4 months later. Give it a spin in your car with your arty Velvet Underground fan friends (if you know any), see them squirm.
