October 22, 200618 yr Yep, I saw it and for those who did'nt here it is :D On the back of a stadium tour and with last year's seven-million-selling album still presumably fresh in his fans' minds, Britain's most popular entertainer makes an unexpectedly rapid return with the most eclectic and yet madly compelling album of his career.Electro-pop, hip-hop, surrealist rap (in a northern comic meets ragga MC style), romantic crooning, space-age country and western, disco, world rhythms and Bowie-esque balladeering all vie for space, sometimes in the same song. Crammed with hooks, rippling with snappy couplets, replete with some of the oddest cover versions ever released by a major star (one of which has Williams belting out "We're the Pet Shop Boys" with the Pet Shop Boys), the almost frantic mix of styles and ideas risks confusing and even alienating some of Williams's mainstream audience, yet it is probably the record that most reflects his complex inner world He's like a hyperactive manchild with attention deficit disorder, rooting around in a musical toy box, using (to quote a typical glib yet revealing couplet) "my cuts and lacerations/ To feed myself a new sensation". If you stumbled across this on MySpace, you might think a pop genius had been born. ^_^
