- De Burgh espouses a Lebanese flavor
This album is worth it if only for the incredible duet "Lebanese Night" (with Lebanese singer Elissa). The melody is instantly pleasing while the lyrics are extremely poignant. It's wonderful to note that Chris De Burgh, not unlike such artists as Sting ("Desert Rose"), is finally experimenting with Arabic music in a way that creates a truly global sound. Elissa's vocals on the track only add to its haunting quality. Customer review - September 26, 2002

- Timming is everything
Just rec'd the album last night. It is fantasic, it is all new material. He has done it again. this is going to be one of the best he has done. It only gets better as you play it through again. the 1st 1/2 is in a different style then normal, but they have great lyrics and wonderful music. The 2nd 1/2 is in the style we have all come to know and love from Chris de burgh. In order to ensure that I rec'd the album as soon as possible I ordered it through Amazon.uk.com, but I am really glad that the US website is offering the album, that way it can be delivered to the fans here in north america right away.
This is an album that you have to have. With all new songs you cannot miss out on this one. If you are a fan of Chris de Burgh, this is a must have. It is hard to say at this time which song I like the best, they are all stil ringing n my mind. I did not want to come into work this morning because I had to turn off te cd player in the car. they are all fantasic. You have to get this album.

- That's what they call MUSIC
I lack the words to describe this marvelous album.
It is the best in the past few months ...
The first song remindes me of Chris De Burgh classic Man on the Line, while the second reminds me of his war songs.
But he has renewed his view and manipulation of the songs.
Simply, go and buy it you won't regret it ...

- De Burgh keeps it fresh after 27 years
You would think that after 25+ years in the music business, having amassed a personal fortune estimated at nearly $50 million, Chris de Burgh might be ready to hang it all up and head to beach pictured on the cover of "Timing is Everything".
Or, at the very least, you might think he'd simply throw together a few half-developed tracks and call it an album.
Wrong on both counts.
De Burgh is still in great voice throughout the 11 songs on "Timing is Everything", and his lyrics still have the ability to paint vivid pictures of love, war and compassion.
The opening and closing tracks ("Guilty Secret" and "Save Me", respectively) are the album's weakest. Not bad songs, necessarily, but they just lack the depth we have become accustomed to from De Burgh.
The rest of the album is absolutely excellent.
