I am amazed by how many people are so down on this album. Are you listening to the same cd? This is one of the best albums i've heard in a long time. Wisemen and You're Beautiful are two of my favourite songs this year.
Over the early part of this decade the music industry has been filled with rubbishy plastic pop. James Blunt is the perfect antidote to this music. As now we are seeing some real talent with powerful thought provoking songs that are anything but dull and samey.
I recommend that you listen to this cd at least once all the way through. As each song is part of the whole. This album does have a definite mood to it. Its powerful and moving and I promise you, if you buy this album you will not be dissapointed!

If you look at the reviews of this album before it was well known, they all think it was a fantastic find. When it hit number one with both album and single, a few bad reviews appeared. Interestingly, the new reviews that paint a negative picture of this album all seem to include some sort of personal attack on James Blunt, or even personal attacks on people who enjoy the album. Fortunately, I ignored these often uninformed reviews and actually bought the album, and can say it is very good.
The songs are very strong. The production is simple, but effective, and James' voice is a remarkable instrument. The album has not been hyped. It's been around for just under a year, and developed organically. The songs change from up-tempo to slow and dark. Some have a band-like feel, others stripped down and raw. It feels like an intimate album that reflects it's independent record label roots, but confident enough to be relevant to a broad spectrum of people.
If you are shallow enough not to like posh people, or inadequate enough to despise anything that is popular in order to show off your independent thinking, don't get this album. If you appreciate good music, I recommend you give Back to Bedlam a go.

I don't understand some people, I really don't. Reviews on this site are supposed to help other people who are interested in buying the album to decide! I've been frankly shocked by some of the zealotry and pettiness of some of the reviewers on here. I've heard terms like 'people who like this album should get a life'! How ridiculous is that! Do the people think it's clever or seemingly sophisticated rating the album 1 star and giving it a barely discernable and flawed grilling will actually help people? I think not.
Then again I've heard those at the other end of the scale - 'Better than Dylan' etc etc, which is a fallacy equal to the former. This album is somewhat unoriginal,somewhat soporific in some ways, and it obviously panders to the radio audience but in NO WAY is it the worst album ever. Furthermore, the album is at times incredibly touching, fitting almost every situation, and GENUINELY heart-felt. But equally, it's incredible that some think this is the best album of the decade. This guy's voice is a clearly a very divisive debate. So one can only assume its a matter of opinion, something which nearly everything boils down to.
I personally like it. As people have mentioned, the overplay You're Beautiful has been awful for James Blunt. It has reduced You're Beautiful from a soaring ballad to pretty formulaic. Furthermore, it has attracted the critics, who swarm like vultures. It is also representative of Blunt's amazing talent. The first half is very strong, showing us ballads which are tuneful, and demonstrate (for those of us who like it), the good range of his voice, while the second half slows the pace down to nearly unacceptable levels. Although 'Out of my Mind' and 'No Bravery' pretty much come at polar oposites in quality, they both deisplay key features in James Blunt's repertoire, repetitive hooks and true, genuine heart. You can't justify this album to everyone, but it is not a bad album if you like this sort of a music,
I think those people who like 'sophisticated' music, who like 'deep' music, who seem to want to die every time they hear this 'pap' need firstly to rethink their attitude. Yes music is an artform, not your version of an artform. Secondly, they need to accept that they don't rule the world.
That's my two cents

Love James Blunt and his music, but was a bit disappointed with the swearing! Had this CD on with children in the room and had to turn it off rather quickly.

Poor quality recording.
Disapointing lack of clarity on this product. I am hoping it is not a poor quality copy. High end hi-fi equipment shows up a "thin" dull sound with lack of crisp, clear symbols and... Read more
