Rudebox
The album peaked at #1 in Switzerland, United Kingdom, Argentina and Australia to mention a few. Rudebox being Williams 7th studio album and 2006 release was a major hit in Europe and Argentina and Australia. The album spawned the singles "Rudebox", "She's Madonna", "Lovelight" and "Kiss me". I especially like the track "She's Madonna" and remember hearing this track being played before hockey games. The booklet contains all the lyrics and a list of whom plays what on each track. 4/5.


I love Robbie but this disk was horrible!
I, like a lot of others, am disappointed that he has not caught on in the US. Ugh! This is not what I expected from Robbie. Well, I can tell you that this is not the CD I would use to try to hook anyone on Robbie. It was so strange. Maybe it was kinda techno? I'm not sure, but I sure know that it was bad. My husband paid quite a bit for it at Christmas. I listened to it once (I'm not sure I made it all the way through)and then turned around and sold it at a local used CD shop for a couple bucks. Well, you live and learn, I guess. .


Electronic Robbie
The previous album Intensive Care (by Stephen Duffy) was a total mistake, except of a few tracks. Over the years I've always liked Robbie and mostly Guy Chambers' music, but man, this is just weird. Rudebox is even worse. I don't mind dramatic changes, but Robbie just can't be good in the new style. The music si modern, rude, pumpin', however most of the arrangements are a bit out of taste. That results in a complex of strange synth sounds, electronic grooves and Robbie's open (and amazing) vocals that just don't fit in this style of music. Robbie's chosen a completely different field, which is unfortunately not for him. Maybe next time, Robbie!.


rudebox is not so rude
It is rudimentary. . .
the first elements of a science or art. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and just part of the
picture. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The End?
Whatever happened? This looked like a rush effort to compete with the UK Top 40 newbies. Got this CD over a year ago and still can't get over the painful listening
of the once great Robbie Williams. Intensive Care is still a better effort than this. He badly need better material for the next release or we would lose him forever.
