:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o Have you heard it all Linz?? and if so are we still loving it ?

So tonight (or today for you lot) we should get Good Doctor, the Actor (in full :cheer: ) Never Touch that Switch, and Louise. I wonder if he can keep up with his 100 % score card he has from me so far. I am not expecting much from never Touch That Switch...so it will probably blow me away the most :rolleyes: .

After listening to this one on and off today I have come to the conclusion that it is one of the best songs he has ever done :heart: :wub: :heart: :wub: Beautiful beautiful beautiful :wub:

I'll be back tonight for the next instalment :cheer:

Have I mentioned how much I love this song :yahoo: :yahoo: "Come on everybody boogie down boogie down" :yahoo: :yahoo:

Yep...needs at least 5 listens I think LOL ...don't give up too soon

Thanks Twinkle. This is such a fun song. I love it :heart: :wub: :yahoo:

I know this ones a bit "different" but GODDAM I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT :yahoo: . I love how it has slower bits and then he really rocks out in the rap bits. Can't wait to get this one on the stereo...LOUD. I must have been a rock chic in a previous life :D .

This actually didn't grab me on first listen...it was the 3rd listen that did the trick :wub: . A beautiful song...classy -_-

They have Viva Life on mars :heart: , Keep On :o :yahoo: , Bongo :dance: , and She's Madonna :wub: up on the official. I have listened to each 5 times and I love every single one. They all take a few listens..especially Keep On...but once you get used to them they are brilliant. I think you should all listen 3 times before you comment.

Are you guts not listening to the tracks on the official. Viva Life On Mars, Keep On, Bongo and She's Madonna are up. They are ACEEEEEE...all of them. Different but ACEEEEEEEEEE :wub: :heart: :cheer: :yahoo:

She's Madonna :heart: :wub: :yahoo:

Thanks Jupiter. Far too short to tell...but nice for a taste test. Sounds good

Thanks Jackie. God they are chasing him like an animal in that first clip.....scary stuff. He looks great in the 2nd clip . So it all seems to have gone well last night...its a bit hard to tell with those translators :D

I won't judge Bongo until I have heard it, but if She's Madonna is supposed to be the best thing he has done then...... HE HAD BETTER NOT WASTE IT :arrr: :arrr: :arrr: :arrr: :arrr: WE WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO HEAR IT

Lovin this dearly. How much better can we get and what impresses me is that each song is completely different but still brilliant in their own way. AND SEE........... HE CAN RAP :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

And another good one From Uncut Magazine ROBBIE WILLIAMS Rudebox *** Robbie forgets America and hits a career high Robbie's struggle between instinctive perversity and commercial ambition seems, for the moment, to have been won by the former. Rudebox is the album he should have made, but bottled, with last year's Intensive Care, and seems to mark his final disregard for breaking America. It's not always pleasant, it's a good half-hour too long, and he should have ditched the fairly pointless covers (the Human League's "Louise", Stephen Duffy's "Kiss Me"), but, at its best - as on "Burslem Normals" or diaristic "The 80s" - it's the funniest, most adventurous and liveliest record of his career. STEPHEN TROUSSE

These reviews have me beside myself with excitement. I have no idea if it will sell as well as IC in it's first week, but it may chart higher for longer hopefully, especially once the supposedly brilliant She's Madonna is released. This is going to be an amazing album :yahoo:

This one's funny. From the Gay Times 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. **** Steve Pafford

I think its about time you saw some of the great reviews its getting..hope you don't mind :P Rudebox is another flick of the Vs to all those who doubt the substabce behind Robbie Williams' incorrigible irrepressibility. Initially concieved as a quick and dirty reposte to last year's occasionally overwrought Intensive Care, Rudebox, with its mixture of autobiography, Stoke-on-Trent vernacular and well-chosen covers ( among them Louise by Human League, Manu Chao's King of The Beat - with Lily Allen - and Stephen Duffy's Kiss Me ) ia an intriguing, funny and inventive listen. The highlight is the Pet Shop Boys collaboration,She's Madonna. Camper than Spanish footwear, it acts as a golden showcase for the glory of millennial pop. In another time, we'd have feted Williams as an ian Drury figure. With this sloppy,happy,ingenious record, maybe its time we did. From Mojo

Very tough...but The Actor just blew me away from first listen. Lovelight a very close second.

Good on ya Jupiter. But I warn you, once you start listening to this one..you can't stop :wub: :wub: :wub: .

I think a lot of "other people" are interested in this. I have been perusing a few general type forums and Pet Shop Boys forums and a lot of people say they will buy it...whether they like it or not is another matter. From what I can tell so far by all these great reviews is that it certainly isn't boring. Burslem Normals seems to be getting a bit of a mention in the last few reviews too, and the Uncut review didn't even mention She's Madonna and Lovelight. It obviously is more than an album with a few hits and plenty of fill :cheer: .
