Robbie Williams what dares: On his new Album, the Pop-Entertainer in a Melange of Eighties stadium rock, James Last-Bombast and Russian Folklore. The Entertainment-About-the shot goes off, however, to the rear.
light! Spot On! Robbie Williams is back! After three years of Studio silence, England’s Show-Heavy Weight Champion is back with a new Album. And who knows, Robbie Williams, the white: The man with the Tiger-Schlüppis and the implanted Entertainment-DNA bakes are reluctant to small rolls.
Already, the sight of the cover indicates the direction. In duplicate it is: sweaty, on the first Gong, waiting, and surrounded by Fight Club-memories. What might peel now from the boxes? Edgier Boy Band Punk Rock? Dirty Noise-Pop? Or even pump-backyard-Dubstep? Neither. The opening title track starts with a gentle Piano-strumming and a singer at the microphone, which falls immediately with the door into the house: “Good evening, children of cultural abandon/ You searched for a saviour, well here I am,” whispers Robbie Williams.
seconds later, the curtain falls. From all sides, bombastic Arrangement packages pushing themselves into the foreground. In an opulent, James Last-meets-007-fashion, the good, Robbie burns is a TV-Show-Soundtrack-fireworks. With brass, strings and rattling Cymbal in the Luggage of the Entertainer bowing in front of Prime Time formats that tied in the eighties, millions of people in the armchair. Time according to sounds different, no question. Also in terms of harmonies Robbie Williams has delivered in the past, already been much Eingängigeres. But well, it POPs. Welcome to “The Heavy Entertainment Show”!
Robbie-Fans of the younger Generation should take for the Rest of the album to their parents. Sure, in some areas, Mr Williams loses in current spheres. A bit of Good mood-Pop (“Love My Life”), a pinch of Standard R’n’B (“Sensitive”) and a touch of Hip Hop, topped with a Swirling from the type Pop-cuisine (“the Best Intentions”), suggest that in the kitchen radio of Ayda Field, some frequencies of Hit-radio stations are stored. But the real cornerstone of the album are rather based on the ancient heritage of the Pop – and Rock-history.
The two rock spear tips “Mixed signal” and “Motherfucker”, for example, the 80s stadium rock. There are pictures of licked guys like Bryan Adams and John Farnham in the mind’s eye to suddenly jump up and down. A “Paradise City”-Solo on top of it and you want to get to as in his forties his old Vinyl treasures out of the cellar.
Far less applause, however, the harvest of vodka and caviar-greetings à la “Party Like A Russian”, and “I Don’t Want To Hurt You”. Here Robbie Williams embodies the Dancefloor-Ivan Rebroff. The grotesque Moscow choirs meet Blue System-Backgrounds. Nonny.
Also in Roxy Music-circles makes Robbie these days, no friends (“Bruce Lee”). His tribute to Bryan ferry’s Over-Hit “Lets Stick Together” go rather to the rear. There is no Kung Fu screaming in the Background helps. Of some of the pearl in the history of music, one should let the Finger.

Together with his old Songwriting Buddy Guy Chambers, and various other input-High-carat diamonds, such as Rufus Wainwright, Stuart Price, and Ed Sheeran, Robbie Williams, anno 2016 makes the greatest Sound-bomb burst. Too bad: after the big Bang, not much remains. The pompous recycled “Heavy Entertainment Show” lacks the structure and sustainability. A real Hit in the vein of “Let Me Entertain You”, “Angel” or “Rock DJ” is looking for you here in vain. Instead, you get a reference-Potpourri served, not only the younger Fans Often draw the eyebrows together. I only say: James Last, Ivan Rebroff, Blue System.
