What Was Robbie Williams Thinking?

Rudebox - Not Good

I’m a big fan of Robbie Williams, I’ve illegally downloaded almost every one of his songs, and made copies of CDs for literally hundreds of friends and family. His “Greatest Hits” album released two years ago was a definite must have for every music lover and the follow up album, “Intensive Care” became an instant classic. What then, was he thinking when he released his new album, “Rudebox”?

After listening to it for a couple of weeks now, I’m convinced that he’s taking the piss. Robbie Williams you’re a singer, not a rap artist. If I wanted to listen to rap, I’d get my fix from The Game or 50 Cent, not from a white former boy band member.

Worse than his mediocre rapping skills, are his attempted stabs at the dance genre, which essentially sounds like loud electronic noise. His second commercial single, “Lovelight” is undoubtedly the highlight of the album, but unfortunately it’s just downhill from there. I was listening to the album in the car the other day and I had to pull over because my ears started bleeding and I didn’t want to mess on my interior.

It’s that bad, avoid it like the plague.
