Album Notes This is an Enhanced CD which contains regular audio tracks as well as multimedia computer files.Personnel includes: Robbie Williams (vocals); Alana Duncan (spoken vocals); Neil Taylor (electric guitar); Guy Chambers (guitar, keyboards, synthesizer): Phil Palmer (12-string guitar); Steve Sidwell (piccolo trumpet); Dave Catlin-Birch (bass, background vocals); Winston Blissett, Brad Lang, Phil Spalding (bass); Chris Sharrock (drums); Andy Duncan (percussion); Andy Caine, Steve McEwan, Gary Nuttall, Claire Worrall (background vocals), Kylie Minogue.The former Take That heartthrob's follow-up to THE EGO HAS LANDED is so slick and covers so many stylistic bases that one's initial response is that it's too clever by half. On more careful listening, however, it seems more the work of a true pop obsessive, a guy with an encyclopedic enthusiasm for all sorts of music.The lyrics here are literate, funny, and loaded with attitude (in the good sense); you have to love a guy who can reference John Coltrane, AC/DC, and the Manic Street Preachers on the same album. The music is similarly smart, ranging from high quality dance pop of the boy band variety ("Kids," a duet with Britney Spears' role model Kylie Minogue), to the alt-rock Oasis-meets-Led Zeppelin guitar grind of "Let Love Be Your Energy," to songs that sound uncannily like IMAGINE-era John Lennon ("Better Man"). Best of all, however, is "Rock D.J.," a Cockney-rap track which sounds like modern day Ian Dury until it closes with a lift of the vocal breakdown from Sly Stone's "Dance To the Music." All in all, SING WHEN YOU'RE WINNING is an ambitious and highly entertaining piece of work. Editorial Reviews Rolling Stone (10/26/2000) | |||||||||||

Report this review Review created: 20/02/08 by: This is a classic album by Robbie Williams at his peak. Every track is great, and he has not topped this album yet. Lets hope he comes back with another killer album. Review ID: 10000000005733240 Was this review helpful?
