Advantages: An Excellent Live Album! Disadvantages: None!
band called Take That, who where very successful, very talented and very, very good looking. RobbieWilliams lasted with the band Take That for four years before he went solo in 1995 and became a huge solo star in a short space of time. He released many singles and albums before this CD called "Live From Knebworth" was recorded in 2003, during his three day concert in Knebworth itself.
Well unfortunately I could not be at Knebworth at Robbies concert on any of the three nights, so as soon as this CD was released and the DVD of course, I was straight out buying it to see what I had missed from my favourite idols three day sell out concert.
I first bought this CD in October 2003 and was very excited to first read the back cover after I had bought it, to see what songs RobbieWilliams had performed at the concert. Well there was over ...
Advantages: Erm.............things can only get better!!! Disadvantages: Many of the tracks are poor
"), as the album is extremely well produced and does have a varied range of tracks. However, this is not what we expect from RobbieWilliams. It is not what we have put him on the pedestal for, and not why we love him so much. That, in itself, does not make it a bad album, just different, but the quality, type and performance of the tracks themselves DOES make it a bad album, as I will shortly review.
RobbieWilliams has always released songs with one 3 main messages, either :
1. To offer a mask to the world that he is strong, popular and confident (Let Me Entertain You)
2. To show that he is, in fact, deeply unsure of his talent and very insecure with who he actually is, and critical of the attention that he gets (Angels, Advertising Space and even the imagery on the Millennium "Bond" video), or
3. Heavily criticising the people that ...
Advantages: Some great tunes, including signature Angels Disadvantages: One track doesn't fit, others are weak
When RobbieWilliams split from Take That following a disagreement in 1996 and he announced he would be starting a solo career, many were not sure. Gary Barlow had been the main driving vocal talent behind Take That. The other problem was the contract preventing him from releasing anything solo for a certain length of time after splitting from the rest of the band.
This may have worked out to have been a good move, as Williams' first album, 'Life Thru A Lens', was a smash success, reaching the number 1 chart spot. The time between the split and when he released the album in 2007 may have been instrumental in the balance of the tracks on the album. The album features hits such as 'Angels', and 'Let Me Entertain You'.
These are the tracks:
1. Lazy Days
2. Life Thru A Lens
3. Ego A Go Go
4. Angels
5. South Of The Border

Album Notes
Britain's leading pop entertainer Robbie Williams goes back to pop basics with his eighth studio album 'Reality Killed The Video Star'. After receiving mixed reviews for his 2006 record 'Rudebox', the former Take That man enlists the help of pioneering producer Trevor Horn, with electrifying results. Big and bold, it's a typical Robbie album. Packed with plenty of wit and humour, it's a storming return to form. Includes the single 'Bodies'.
