Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Please note that this album comes in two alternative sleeves, which will be randomly assigned.

Greatest Hits chronicles the remarkable journey of Mr Robert Williams, from being the "fat dancer from Take That" (c. Noel Gallagher) to the multi-million pound jewel in EMI’s crown. Assembled in chronological order, all the hits are here, except for his initial solo outing "Freedom", and it’s interesting to see how his sound evolves from wannabe Britpop buffoon on the sub-Oasis pubrock of "Old Before I Die" to the subtle captivating melodies of "Feel" and "Come Undone". There are so many great tracks that it’s impossible to list them all, but highlights have to be the barnstorming "Let Me Entertain You", the bouncy, floor-filling "Rock DJ" and the song that madeth the man, "Angels". The two latest additions to his canon--"Radio" and "Misunderstood" clearly have one eye on the past, the other on the future – with the latter an instant classic Robbie ballad from the Bridget Jones 2 soundtrack and the former a foray into the world of electro pop that sounds like a warped Human League track from the 1980s. This has to be Robbie’s forte, his ability to make great pop records that always sound fresh and full of energy. Every home should have a copy of this album, and chances are, by the end of 2004, most of them will. -- Melanie Wilkin

CD Description
After five studio albums and nineteen singles, this greatest hits collection brings together nineteen classic Williams moments for the first time. It features his first UK number one 'Millennium', and the hugely popular 'Angels'. Also included are two new recordings, the single 'Radio' and 'Misunderstood' taken from the Bridget Jones' Diary II soundtrack.

3.0 out of 5 stars No doubt, this is only part one..., 19 April 2005
By disco_daveuk (Southampton, UK) - See all my reviews
It's been 13 years since a lycra-clad Take That first stormed the charts, scoring an earth shattering number 38 'hit'. Sure, they ended up having a pretty glittering run but, to use Noel Gallagher's words, "could you really have seen the 'Fat Dancer from Take That' surviving in a sphere of musicality where lip-synching live to a vocal track is tantamount to admitting to liking the remake of The Avengers?"

It is undeniable that Robbie Williams' foray into solo stardom was initially met with more than a touch of trepidation, but 19 top ten singles, 5 number 1 albums and global album sales in excess of 32 million can't be argued with.
Cataloguing the journey from boy-band oblivion to all conquering supreme, Greatest Hits is required listening for any pop fan. Opening the collection is lads anthem Old Before I Die, one of many high standards from the infancy of Williams' solo career, immediately followed by classic-in-waiting Angels, which will no doubt be the highlight of the album for many buyers.

One of the biggest problems facing Greatest Hits' compilations is keeping the release fresh, hence so many artists now include a new track or three to get the interest flowing and Robbie is no exception. Latest number 1 Radio is a hint towards a new era in Williams' evolution with it's darker edge and electronica, and with new track 2, Misunderstood, featuring in the latest Bridget Jones movie this collection surely can't miss! Standout tracks would definitely be Lazy Days, Let Me Entertain You and Kids, Robbie's duet with Kylie Minogue, and though not all tracks are as strong, Williams is an artist who weaves his soul into each release and such honesty alone makes every track deserving of your attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing collection, 18 Oct 2004
By H. R. Trigg "howietUK" (Swindon, Wilts United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Firstly, I think it's important for me to say upfront that I have never bought a Robbie album before...until now.
This is without a doubt one of the best collections of hits that I have seen. 19 tracks, 2 new and both are excellent - 1 of which is radio, the recent No1 single (and a real musical departure) and Misunderstood, a beautiful popwer ballad that he does very well.
Is there really any point in me talking about the songs themselves, other than to say that this is a truly uplifting, incredible selection of popular songs that everyone should have in their music collection. I can sing along heartily to EVERY track.
A couple of songs are missed out (noticeably Something Stupid with Nicole Kidman) but this doesn't effect the quality of the cd at all. This will be the biggest album of 2004

5.0 out of 5 stars Writer/performer beyond compare in UK, 31 Aug 2007
By Brian Levine - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
He's not reached quite the heights post-2004, evidenced by the patchy nature of his output and coincidental with the fabled US$80m record deal, but Robbie, post-Take That and up to 36 months ago is a superb writer and performer.

If you haven't got round to working out what's so good about him, buy this and, if you like it, gravitate to the live DVD also on Amazon which shows you the effect RW has on others.

There are no bad songs on this Album and for that reason, and the fact I think he's a good bloke (I used to walk past his house every morning on my way to work and if he was up he was always friendly) makes this a five starrer. Well done, Robbie. Please get back together with Guy Chambers though because you are a weeny bit the worse without him....
