Full review
Although never being a fan of Take That (honest) I, like many many others, never though that Robbie would be one to become a superstar but that is exactly what he has become, thanks partially to the massive hit Angels taken from his debut album 'Life Thru a Lens' way back in 1997.

Intensive Care is Robbie first real album for 2 years, as since 2003 he has only albums have been one recorded live at Knebworth and a Greatest Hits, neither of which had any new tracks on them and what a great album it is.

The album has twelve tracks

1.Ghosts
2. Tripping
3. Make Me Pure
4. Spread Your Wings
5. Advertising Space
6. Please Don't Die
7. Your Gay Friend
8. Sin Sin Sin
9. Random Acts Of Kindness
10. The Trouble With Me
11. A Place To Crash
12. King Of Bloke And Bird

And a total running time of

Track Two, Tripping, is the most instantly recognisable, being the first track that was released as a single and is a break from the norm having a ska like feeling to it, and whilst the lyrics to the track are not Robbies best but are indeed very trippy and to me give an indication as to some of his 'other activities'

One of my favourite tracks is 'Advertising Space' which is all about Elvis, the way in which he was exploited, to me it shows how aware Mr Williams is of the evils of the entertainment business and as a modern day Elvis he is astute enough to be led down the same horrible path.

Overall the album seems very personal giving an insight into his life and thoughts. There is no single iconic song such as angels but there is a great mix of upbeat, rocky tracks (such as Your Gay Friend, Sin, Sin, Sin and Random Acts of Kindness) and slower relaxing tracks. The lyrics are very clever and in many places cheeky again summing the man up and bringing a smile to my face whenever I hear them. One thing to note is that the album does come with a Parental Advisory label due to the explicit nature of the some of the lyrics but they aren't too extreme and I think the album would be fine for anyone aged 13 or over

To me this is one of Robbies best if not the best album, it makes for great listening in the car, on an iPod, where ever and when ever the mood takes and it was a bargain as I bought it from CD-Wow for £8.99 plus I had a 50p off voucher and then just to put the cherry on top there is the 2% greasy palm cashback - what more could you ask for !
