Hugely disappointing. So many of those bland, soft-rock mid-tempo chuggers that I hate. I can't believe he thinks this is his big return to catchy pop songs. "Candy" sure was, but the rest is anything but. |

He should stick to his boyfriend(s) from Take That forever. |

It's a sign: when someone pushes a video month ahead of a song release, nothing good can come from this project. |

Radio rips of some songs from the new album. They're all shite. Into the Silence: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xuprxv_robbie-williams-into-the-silence-take-the-crown_music Be A Boy: http://soundcloud.com/pulgoso-chileno/robbie-williams-be-a-boy Shit on the Radio: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xuq39h_****-on-the-radio-robbie-williams_music Aside from "Candy", everything sounds so lacklustre, plodding and weak. I thought this was supposed to be his return to making big pop songs? It couldn't be farther from that. Dreadful songs. |

Funnily enough, Rudebox was the only album of his I liked too! I hate the soft rock shite that tends to make up the rest of his albums. |

The next single is "Different", released on 17th December. Album version was played today @ BBC Radio 2: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01ng6wl (at 1:55:00) More soft-rock, weak, bland shit. Dear oh dear. |

If Sexed Up and Come Undone from Escapology is soft rock which you all hate, then I have no words... Is Rudebox the album with this Everest of any embarrassment called She's Madonna???? Wow. |

Rudebox shits over Escapology from a great height. By the way, my heart leaped with joy when you said you had no words. |

the vast majority his albums contain a couple of memorable, even great, singles accompanied by a bunch of boring filler tracks. rudebox was a rather welcome departure from his trademark sound and that was definitely why his core audience turned their back on him during that era. shame, really, as now he's back in coming up with the same old.

The album is such a grower. The big hit singles aren't there, but it's littered with really strong songs that reward repeated listening. |

All the serious music critics are with you on the statement. Well, i liked it, but it's so random and...weak, even while being new for him. The only song I really like from Rudebox still is Lovelight. I do understand ppl who like soft rock if only it blends with some electronic sounds in it. I'm kinda the one of them. But I prefer escapology it was genuine, not forced, music was the main thang, not effects and poor voice, as with Rudebox.I do think he came to electronic due to his voice miscarriage

Tripping is the song I love, and more, I looove the video This song was sooo above the rest of the Intensive Care, so maybe I missed all the other gems.
