Excellent...looks like The 90's is a stayer :cheer: :yahoo:

I cannot wait :D

it's moved up to #2 on the Amazon pre-orders chart already :yahoo:

 

It's behind someone called Madeleine Peyroux :blink:

there´re not pre-orders here yet :mellow:

 

the waiting is a torment :dance:

Here is the full length review featured in the new October issue of Gay Times: :lol:

 

So Robbie’s gay after all then. Well one would certainly be forgiven for thinking so, if his latest “experimental dance†opus is anything to go by. May I present the evidence, m'lord?

 

1. The much-maligned Rudebox with it’s constant references to dirty bumsex including, shock, horror, the Robster himself on the receiving end. “So sick I just had to take it� Well no one's forcing you.

 

2. Next single the insanely catchy Lovelight, with its pitch-perfect falsetto disco does the unthinkable and manages to out-camp the Scissor Sisters. No mean feat.

 

3. Lyrically the alluring electro-ballad Burslem Normals is a bitter Morrissey-inspired barb against Burberry bling chav culture though the music is pure ABBAesque Erasure only with a more expensive synthesizer.

 

4. And speaking of synth duos, he then ropes in his and our favourite double act Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe on two of the most accessible tracks here: We’re The Pet Shop Boys is a hard-edged cover of a cover where the narrator wistfully reflects back to a time in the 80s when he and his lover thought of themselves as the Pet Shop *Boys*.

 

5. And if that wasn't enough, PSB crop up again on She’s Madonna, a gloriously Motowneque sweeping synth anthem that manages to plagarise many of the pop duos past hits with a ridiculously rampant Robbie vocal. A future No.1 if ever I heard one and possibly the best thing Robbie or the Pets have put their name to for, like aeons. So ignore my tittle-tattle on which way Robbie is well swung, because, on the face of it, the song seems to provide ‘proof’ of Robbie’s heterosexuality. With a chorus of “I love you baby, but face it, she’s Madonna/No man on earth could say he don’t want her.†But hang on, surely even someone as buffeted from the real world as him would know that the 48-year old Madge vadge is about as appealing to the straight male population as rice pudding? Ah, she's one of those 'gay icon' type thingies, yes? I get it now.

 

Elsewhere there’s an intriguing ragbag of ideas, from solid covers of 80s pop faves Louise and Kiss Me (Human League and current writing foil Stephen ‘TinTin’ Duffy respectively), Hunky Dory-era Bowie tributes (Viva Life On Mars and The Actor) and a Streets-lite two-part autobiographical suite The 80s and The 90s, where lyrics such as “Ah it’s nice that you’ve got a mansion/While I’m treated like the drummer from Hanson†prove that the ex-boybander’s Post Take That Member Trauma is still as evident and as brilliantly twisted as ever. Strange fascination indeed.

The gay, community, bless 'em... I guess they'll never give up hope that Rob is a tiny bit gay deep down. :lol:

Nice to see a brilliant review. A mate of mine has heard Lovelight and says this might be the first RW album he will buy. Guess what, he's gay ! :o :D

He's always liked Rob's looks, but so far he has never cared much for his music.

RobbieWilliamsLive is reporting that EMI France held a 'listening party' for Rudebox last night and the whole album was played. And they are saying 'The 90s' has been removed from it. :unsure:

 

I really don't understand what is happening here. :wacko:

We know the 90s was removed from all 'promo' copies until the legal thing was sorted out. So was it just a promo copy they heard last night?

 

And if it's been removed why is it still appearing on all the tracklistings? Surely all the CDs will have been shipped by now (well, the ones going overseas anyway). :unsure: :cry:

I don't believe any of it <_<

Oh and they are also saying that Bongo Bong is going to be the 3rd single. :unsure:

I find that quite difficult to believe, particularly if She's Madonna is as good as everyone is saying. And I can't see RW releasing 2 covers on the trot. <_<

Alot of these non english site always make up stuff <_< Remember that Batman story :lol:

 

Bongo Bong will not be a single :lol: Rob does'nt want to be seen a a male version of the Cheeky Girls :rolleyes: :lol:

Well - the singles released from the albums are not always what we would have chosen are they ^_^

No :lol: But up untill Escapology's singles (apart from Feel and Come Undone) all previous singles were spot on IMO.

 

She's Madonna needs to be a single and It would be great if the women herself could appear int he vid :lol:

I once heard Robbie being interviewed where he was asked what his next single was going to be. He saidhe hadn't a clue and turned and asked some EMI bloke.

Then another time I read him talking about Feel being released. He said the 'Head Honchos' told him the first single from the album was going to be Feel and quite surprised but said 'oh, ok then' or something.

 

I'd like to think he has more control over what get released than that but sometimes I'm not so sure. :unsure:

Of course he does. That's just him acting that way. :lol: he never knows anything in interviews. :rolleyes:

 

Remember in the book Feel when he is disscussing what singles he wants to release. he had the final say most definatly. Even Chris Heath seems to have more of an imput than EMI :lol:

I bet it was Robbie who insisted on Rudebox. All the EMI big-wigs were probably jumping off window ledges. :lol:

Where is this information from exactly, I mean I know the website, but where did they get that from?

I hope it's a load of rubbish. Particularly about Bongo Bong, that must be a joke. :o <_<

If She's Madonna doesn't get released, I'll have to run havoc. :arrr:

OK, I admit I haven't even heard the song, but it can only be better than Bongo Bong.

But you know what ? Maybe it will be a single in France ONLY because Rob does French lyrics on it.

That would make sense... ? :unsure:

Did PopJustice do a full review today? :unsure:

No :rolleyes:

The 90's was removed, and then reinstated with altered lyrics
