Disco de Robbie Williams: “Angels [UK CD #2]”

Angels: One of the best songs of the 90's without a doubt-a pop masterpiece!

Back For Good (live): Anyone who knows Take That and Robbie's whole 'story' will get a kick out of his um...reworking of this tune.

Walk This Sleigh: All I have to say...now THIS is a christmas song!

Biased, I admit: Robbie is the most spectacular male vocalist to come along in decades, bar none. Forget about American Idols or cookie-cutter boy-toys, RW is one among no others.

Angels is easily a most perfect, powerful, lovely song. Back for Good is such a raving departure as to leave the listener befuddled by the speed. Walk This Sleigh is, like Angels, perfect: just enough holiday charm to be inviting, plus enough elbow-in-the-ribs bite to be pure Robbie.

Like any holiday confection, you know you shouldn't, but what the hey...it's the holidays, I'll diet later.

I'm a pretty big Robbie Williams fan and this song is the reason why. Angels is one of the most best songs ever written. I can't believe this song didn't make this guy a house hold name in the U.S. His pop is so much better than the other male american artists.

Like I said earlier Angels is a beautiful love song. The music is great and Williams vocals are fantastic. It's a moving song and the chorus on it is awesome. Those are some lyrics being sung there. I DJ on the side and I've played this song and seen people cry to it. This is an incredible song. Everybody should hear it at least once.

Back for Good is an alright song. I hear you really have to know Robbie Williams to appreciate it, so I don't quite get all of it. I still like it however.

Walk this Sleigh is I guess what you could call Williams attempt to do a christmas song. This is an ok song. It's nothing to get to excited about.

The reason to get this single is for the song Angels. This is a fantastic song, and no music collection is complete without it in there somewhere.

If this is the first review of The Curmudgeons you've ever read, I'm going to give you a bit of an introduction, and a bit of an explanation, for this one star review.

The Curmudgeon hails from Great Britain, where Robbie Williams could pretty much replace Christ as our saviour. Honestly, they LOVE him here. His every move is front page news, his every release snapped up and sold by the million.

So why am I reviewing him on American Amazon? Simple - because Amazon UK is the biggest waste of time ever. They never print ANY reviews. You might as well write a review and then flush it down the toilet than put it on Amazon UK.

Anyway, The Curmudgeon's "thing" is to review the worst of the worst, the baddest of the bad, and give them all a deserving one star. But here I'm going to bend the rules a little - this isn't one of the worst songs ever written, and it doesn't deserve one star. I have a lot of time for Robbie - frankly I think the UK is in dire need of some decent male pop stars (and NOT some adonyne boy band wannabe from some reality show either), and Angels is.. well, it's nice. A decent song.

So here's why it's getting the one star treatment - not because of the song, not because of the singer - but because of the people who LISTEN to it. Angels has kinda taken a whole new life now, it's became this untouchable anthem adored by every dullard you've ever hated. Every empty-headed, yo-yo knickered slag thinks its "their" song, and hordes of morons across the UK will say this is a "classic choon, maaaan". Do you know this was voted (by the public, always a recipe for disaster) the best song in the last thirty years? It beat Joy Division, for God's sake. I think even Robbie is embarrassed by it all, but that doesn't stop a million cretins for thinking it makes them all deep and stuff for liking it.

Sorry Robbie, it's not you - it's not the song. But if you're one of the drones that insists on playing this in pubs, insists on murdering it at kareoke - if you're planning on walking down the aisle to this - then it's aimed squarely at YOU. For shame.
