UUSI Robbie Williams Greatest Hits CD (2004) - Ilmainen Toimitus

A near-perfect look at the career of Bri-

tain's brightest singles artist during the

late '90s and early 2000s, Robbie Wil-

liams' Greatest Hits chronologically con-

solidates Williams' canon of Top Tens -19

of them in all as of its release in late 2004.

(Not all of his Top Ten singles are present

since the disc closes with a pair of new

songs.) In the late '90s, Robbie Williams

proved that a pop artist with a dodgy ar-

tistic background - witness his member-

ship in Take That - was still capable of

joining the long line of British artists (T.

Rex, Madness, Pet Shop Boys, Blur) who

completely embraced danceable pop mu-

sic without selling their souls in the bar-

gain. Williams' biggest up-tempo hits "Mil-

lennium" and "Rock DJ," were loved by

middle-aged housewives and young te-

ens alike (slightly less so by the latter, of

course). Sugary and infectious but not

disposable, they were made-to-order as

great radio product, an art increasingly

being lost. And as shown by "Angels" the

biggest hit of his career Williams also had

a winning way with balladry. He also for-

ged a comfortable performing personality

via his excitable, self-effacing cad who ta-

kes himself far too seriously and can get

intensely emotional every now and then,

but is usually good for a laugh. (See

"Strong" for the details.) The two new

tracks introduce Stephen Duffy - an origi-

nal member of Duran Duran who later

made his own name in the Lilac Time -

as the replacement for Guy Chambers as

Williams' new producer/songwriter/contri-

butor (of course, the two songs, "Radio"

and "Misunderstood," can't help but so-

und weak in this context). Despite pop

fans being sick of his omnipresence in

British pop culture, history will likely be

kind to Robbie Williams. After all, would

a disposable pop artist quote Latin on the

back of a CD booklet? (Granted, in typi-

cal Robbie fashion the epigraph transla-

tes as, "If it has tits or wheels, it will ma-

ke life difficult.")
