Not So Intensive by Bradley Jacobson  3 Stars
June 25, 2008
Oh, how I love my hottie Robbie, for some insane reason this man can chalk up hit after hit in the UK but he has never found any real success in the US - other than my impassioned love for his hotness. None the less, Intensive Care is not quite as good as some of his previous stuff and for some reason I'm beginning to fear that my boy may be repeating his albums - they're starting to resemble each other in sound, but that's not necessarily bad. I mean this album contains "Trippin'" which has a very unique sound but then there's the standard ballads "Sin, Sin, Sin" and my fav ballad "Pure" ("oh lord, please make me pure but not yet.") and the cheeky lyrics we expect from the hotness that is Robbie. No matter what, I'll still buy all his albums and posters and snatch his wet towel from the stage, but that's just how I am.

In my opinion, the best album from Robbie Williams. by Emily Allen (West Michigan, USA)  5 Stars
February 09, 2008
I just don't understand why Robbie Williams can't break into American music. Maybe most of us over here just can't get used to the British sound. I, being different from everyone else my whole life, discovered his music in 1999, when he had the moderately successful US hit "Angels", and was on MTV for a few stints. Then after I bought that CD, he dropped from America. Being 14 years old at the time, I had limited access to his music because much of it must be purchased online, so I sort of drifted from his music until I got into college and got iTunes, and fell in love with the music again with this album.
To me, Williams' previous efforts had been lacking something since "The Ego Has Landed". Don't get me wrong, I love all of his music, but "Sing When You're Winning" and "Escapology" had just lacked something for me. "Intensive Care" spoke to me: the songs were different, one can tell that an immense effort was put into this album. Williams went with a different songwriting partner on this one. The songs are gritter, harsher, less polished. The lyrics are true to heart and well written. It sort of has an American feel, probably because most of the songs were written while Williams spent time in America.
My personal 3 favorites on the album:
-"Ghosts", with a strong piano and vocal intro, with brash lyrics so one doesn't forget who they're listening to ("Here I stand victorious, the only man who made you come...")
-"Your Gay Friend", an upbeat song about a not-so-happy subject, from what I interpret, an affair that is covered up by claiming that the man in the affair is the woman's gay friend ("Hey lord, forgive us if we're wrong, and make sure that he never hears this song...").
-"Sin Sin Sin", a song, appropriately by Williams, mostly about attempting to have a sexual encounter with no strings attached "Just relax, it's what Jesus would do, we're made in his image baby, let's ride this thing through...").
Once again, Williams proves that he can tackle just about any style of music with this grittier album. And he is successful with a change again. He really can do no wrong.

great cheek! by ronaldbrian (Quezon City, Philippines) 5 Stars
December 21, 2007
If you liked his Greatest Hits album (released only in Asia in 2004), you'll like this one. The lyrics are standard Williams--cheeky and swaggering. The first line of the first song announces: "Here I stand victorious/ The only man who made you come." Ha! I read the reviews at Amazon--all good, solid reviews. I listened to it once--and found out it bore an immediate second listening. Wikipedia says it was the best selling album in Europe in 2005. Go, get!

Good CD by C. James (Oakland, CA USA)  4 Stars
May 14, 2007
I am not that big of a fan of his but I really enjoy his music. His greatest hits are the best. Being in the states now you have to buy his CDs to hear his music. If I were still in Germany I might wait for the second greatest hits.

One of Robbie's Best by A. Jaeger (Cincinnati, Ohio) 5 Stars
January 04, 2007
I liked this CD from the very start. Some (like Rudebox) have to grow on you - this one was an instant hit with me. Like most of the tunes; of course tripping is a favorite.
