All The Lost Souls [ECD] - James Blunt

Advantages: An album worth owning, though not his strongest.
Disadvantages: A couple of really forgettable tracks.

---JAMES BLUNT- All THE LOST SOULS--- After a three year gap Ex Army Captain, James Blunt brought out his long awaited second album 'All the Lost Souls' in September 2007. This was the follow up to his hugely successful debut album 'Back to Bedlam' which came out in 2004. James Blunt was a refreshing change on the music scene and he was to music in 2004, what Damien Rice was in 2003. James Blunt has his own unique style of Folk/Rock. He is a balladeer ...
...to my dismay. Airplay is all important, and if you are not flavour of the month, it can make or break an artist's release... I wasn't quite sure if I liked Blunts single,'1973'when I first heard it and was I worried that the album would not live up to his excellent first album, 'Back to Bedlam'. The track '1973' was a nostalgic ditty and one I found didn't sit well, nor did I believe in, as James Blunt himself was not even born then. Nonetheless ... Read review

Advantages: its better than you might expect
Disadvantages: its not as good as Back to Bedlam

...entertainment aisle and discovered that All the Lost Souls was their album of the week (usually the only one they have which you would buy since the others are more expensive than you'd find in most other shops) for just £6.99 it was time to buy it. Ihave to say I dont like the cover art at all, and if I didnt already know the artist would find it very off putting, so there was some trepidation as I put this in to my car CD player as I set off for ...
...As with his first album All the Lost Sould has only 10 tracks on it, giving it a more limited potential for singles than many recent albums but equally has left it with no room for the ubiquitous filler tracks whos quality is poor and drag an album down overall. People have said its a different style to Back to Bedlam, something which while I wouldnt entirely disagree with I wont say is a marked change, the songs are all constructed with good melodies ...

Advantages: Beautiful songs, emotional, clever lyrics, great voice
Disadvantages: Not keen on the cover art

...year and not long after, All the Lost Souls arrived in my mailbox, thanks to my Amazon vouchers. I put it in my CD player and it has rarely been out since. I listen to it while I'm wide awake and on the computer and while I'm relaxing in the bedroom in the evening. So, what do I think to it? I decided to use a track-by-track method of reviewing, with an overview at the end. REVIEW 1) 1973 This was the first (and so far only) single release from ...
...don't follow the charts at all now, so had no idea if it was successful or not until I had a look today. The song appears to be about love and nostalgia, remembering good times and all the emotions that accompany those memories. It is a very catchy tune, though quite a complex song. Catchy songs usually seem to be equated with vapid cheesy pop and although I do love vapid cheesy pop as well, Blunt is more rooted in the old tradition of the singer-songwriter ... Read review

Advantages: An Excellent Album With Great Re-playability
Disadvantages: None.

...has his second album out; All The Lost Souls. His debut album, Back To Bedlam, was something new and refreshing and certainly got people's heads turning on both sides of the Atlantic. James Blunt, with his song "You're Beautiful" was the first Brit to be number 1 in America since Elton John did Candle In The Wind in memory of princess Diana. So, that's a tough thing to beat; number one in both the UK and the US. Can he make another album that could ...
...can; and he has! All The Lost Souls is an excellent album. I had mixed feelings when i was about to press "Play" for the first time on this new CD. While I wanted to like it as much as I liked Back To Bedlam, I didn't want to get my hopes up; so often these days the more albums a signer or band brings out, the less effort seems to have been put in to it. I can honestly say that I was FAR from disappointed. Each song was fresh and original with subtle ... Read review
