The Art Of Pop Tunesmithing Plus Three
S. Considering this was the follow up to the comeback album E. P. there was a lot riding on it. Because of his unfortunate passing Andy could not join his brothers for the Bee Gee's Quartet album that this was meant to be in the beginning. However that doesn't mean this album is at all without it's merrits. Going for a well conseived and produced 80's contemporary dance-pop sound with some adult contemporary values the presense of funk trained musicians such as Steve Ferone and Nathan East,as ubiquitous as they both were during the 80's as session musicians was important to the fact that the Bee Gee's kept at least one element left intact from their all too often maligned late 70's music: that strong R&B flavor. The title song gets things rolling off to a could start with a slick variation on the late 80's Brit funk-pop sound and was just the right kind of music to go with their excellent melodies and songwriting. "Ordinary Lives","It's My Neighborhood" and "House Of Shame" look to similar musical values while rocking out a bit here and there for extra flavor. "Bodyguard" is a really nice 80's type R&B ballad with a bit too dark and surreal a flavor to qualify as quiet storm:really more in the more conventional late night adult contemporary genre I suppose. Considering all the Asian pop influences floating around at this time their presense in the aloof "Tokyo Nights" is not the least bit surprising. "Tears","Flesh And Blood" and the tribute "Wish You Were Here" are the slower tunes here-perfect for radio and certainly well crafted but not quite to the same level as they seem to get when they pick the tempo up here. Some may disagree and,because everything on this album is so strong it's hard to say but the style of the faster stuff has so much more to it that it stands out to me. "Will You Ever Let Me" is a great example,a chunky 80's blue eyed funk number that is an excellent,solid direction for an uptempo Bee Gee's tune for this era. There is a bonus cut called "You Win Again" which turns out to be a show stopping update of the brother's pre-Main Course sound and proves that all of the musical periods they've had still survice well within them. For it's era this is a surprisingly strong and well rounded comeback album and is highly recommended to not only Bee Gee's fans but anyone with an ear for high quality 80's pop music of any sort.

The Bee Gees - One
Well worth the work to get it. If you like the Bee Gees, you'll want this CD.


Not available via download
Great album, great music. The entire album, used, seemed to be my only option in getting this music as it's not available on iTunes. I'm confused as to why the album isn't available in the US market. Some of these songs were big hits. . . Still, very satisfied with it.


My All Time Favorite Bee Gees album
"One" has a groove that just won't quit, and the harmonies. The title track of this album is worth the price alone. . . . well, that's their trademark. The production is consistent throughout, and Maurice and Robin turn in some great lead vocals as well. This could be the best Bee Gees album ever made.
