I hate these voices so fucking much
Awful. Make it stop. Why is this on the list.
Blah. I was excited at the start with "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart"...and then it was a total fizzle.
Horrid
Dreadful. How on earth can this lame schmaltz be in anyone's top 1001? 😏
What you get when you stretch “Day in the Life” into an entire album. Made me want to listen to something better.
Cor, what a slog. Taking up valuable space on this list that could have been filled by the Black Parade. Nil pwa
My 500th album! So just about half way through the process although the exact point will be the start of side 2 on tomorrow’s album. So I await in anticipation of that. 501 days to go which will take me to 29th September 2026. This date has nothing to do with the Battle of Trafalgar so not the reason why I got this today. Trafalgar is very significant in British history. A naval battle where we defeated the naughty French but they got there own back by sneakily shooting Lord Nelson the blighters! He was killed on HMS Victory. Long story short but I once got drunk in Lord Nelson’s quarters and had a piss where Nelson would have done so over the ship’s stern. So having this interest I wondered what homage to it the Australian Bee Gees would serve up and in particular the title track. Imagine my disappointment to discover not one mention of the great battle and one of the greatest British heroes ever. All I can say is that it is obvious that the Aussie’s wanted to get one over of us Poms and do as much damage as possible to one of our finest hours. But what do you expect from Aussies? From a penal colony to proud nation - proof that you can really polish a turd. 1/5 16/5/25
The last Bee Gees album I reviewed received a 2 from me. It was tolerable because it wasn’t their overplayed whiney crap. This is not tolerable. It’s boring, unrelatable, droned on and shouldn’t be on the list. I stopped listening at track 7, “Somebody Stop The Music”. I took it as a sign.
Their 9th album. Soft Rock / Easy Listening. Harmonies are great as you'd expect from the Bee Gees. Israel - Awful lyrics, 'Where there's sand, beautiful sand' lol ! The pre disco Bee Gees have great voices but they're wasted here on singing such beige songs. Remembering is a truly awful song which is followed by Somebody Stop The Music which is hilariously ironic. Trafalgar is the best track and very much like a John Lennon song. Not a good album.
Imaju oni dobrih stvari, ali ovaj album nije reprezentacija toga. Jedna pjesma mi je posebno odbojna, a ostale su sve iste i dosadne. 1/5, 2/10.
What the heck was that? Love the Bee Gees but this was rough - they should stick to disco. Some songs felt like a joke.
Well this was pretty awful. I could have maybe got behind a later album, but this is just dreadful. Warbly vocals, cheesy lyrics, with slow, predictable, and boring music backing it all. Some of it was almost comedically bad. Most of it was just bad.
I thought this disco shirt sucked. Turns out they sucked before then.
Odd.
I’m genuinely surprised this album made the list. Trafalgar sits in a strange, in-between phase of the Bee Gees’ career—after their ‘60s baroque pop heyday and before their iconic disco dominance. Unfortunately, it doesn’t measure up to either era, both of which represent the Bee Gees at their creative peaks. Now, I get that the rules for this list exclude soundtracks, but leaving Saturday Night Fever off while including Trafalgar feels like a major oversight. That soundtrack defined an era; Trafalgar, on the other hand, barely leaves a mark. Aside from the standout ballad “How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” the album leans heavily into bland, middle-of-the-road folk-pop. It lacks the energy, emotion, and innovation that define the best of their work. Even Robin’s usually moving vocals can’t save some of these tracks. Favorite song: "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" Least favorite: Most of the rest—largely forgettable Album artwork: A cool visual tribute to the Battle of Trafalgar, which is sadly more memorable than the music inside.
This sounds outdated as hell. Listening to the album the whole way through was quite the difficult task... I honestly found nothing enjoyable about it. It's definitely not the kind of music I associate with the bee gees and it doesn't suit 'em well, in my opinion.
this was bad on so many levels, cringeworthy at times
This is truly awful from beginning to end.
Not my thing... Won't listen again.
Stick to disco Barry Gibb
Horrible.
Let's just try to sound like the Beatles if the blandness dial was turned up to 11. Pretty unbelievable how much music the Bee Gees made before disco was a thing and that they managed to keep going, this is really unremarkable. "I know what the next track is gonna be! Plodding pace, strummed acoustic guitars and strings!" This is one of those albums clogging up a spot that could've gone to Neutral Milk Hotel, Weezer or something else overlooked by Dimery for the book. PS free Palestine 🇵🇸
I don't like disco but when I saw that I got the Bee Gees I thought at least it's the best of disco. Instead I got shitty rock. Boo. 2/10
This feels like the least essential album that has been generated for me so far. And along with that, I didn’t really like it all that much. I was so close to just skipping Lion in Winter. What is that vocal performance? I feel I’m obligated to give this a 1. My 2s so far either had a sound I don’t care for but, they were trying to do something different and just fell flat (for me) or have a sound that is at least okay (I wouldn’t make you turn it off), but they don’t seem to do anything special or even try to. This one has a sound I don’t care for and doesn’t seem to try and do anything special.
Ok, there's soft rock and there's SUPER SOFT rock. It's so focused on being easy to listening that it becomes almost insulting to the power behind every human ears. The lyrics are awful, the music is uninspired to an impossible level.
1/5
As an active and critical listener I liked that it was beatles esque and almost the score to a film. But as a fan of music, theres a reason the bee gees switch to disco when it exploded. Because this shit is boring and un inspiring. Middle of the road contemporary mix of instruments and pacing.
I never liked the BeeGees but I must admit, listening to it now, brings me back to memories of Bat Mitzvahs in my teenage years, so its hard to evaluate properly
Nothing really redeemable
Sounds uninspired. Such a boring album… I WAS A LIiiiOOoN
boah, das ist mir viiiiiel zu schnulzig; kann ich mir nicht wirklich anhören
Sleepy & tiresome. The part of the palette of the 1970s that I despise.
So exactly why was this album on the list? I see nothing redeeming about it. If I could give it zero stars I would. Disco era Bee Gees is better than this and that is saying a LOT!
Boring
Well it's good to know the Bee Gees sucked even before they were doing disco.
This is another one of these cases, of course I’ve heard of The Bee Gees and I know their hit songs, but I never listened to a full album, and actually don’t think I ever heard any song in hear. So I gave it a listen without prejudice and… It’s crap. This is simply awful. The most sappy, corny music and lyrics. Why would anybody want to hear this? It’s so overly sentimental to the point of parody. I mean yeah they have great vocal harmonies but this is pure dreadful kitsch. One star.
1971 must have been a bad year for music....globally....for this to be considered for the list. It's bloody awful !
Det är för mycket cheesy ballader! Det finns fantastiskt bra och starka ballader men dessa är för "uppenbara" och för "rättframma". Sen kanske jag kommer få mycket hate för detta (inte nödvändigtvis i vårt gäng men i världen i stort) men jag tycker Barry Gibb är en överskattad sångare, särskilt hans tenor-bröströst som blir för nasal och för mycket vibrato för mig. Det finns fina låtar på skivan men inget fantastiskt och det är alltför jämntjockt. "Somebody stop the music" är nog skivans höjdpunkt med sina mer poppiga och Bowie-eska kvaliteter. Tycker också att detta är långt ifrån Bee Gee's bästa album. Den livar upp sig lite under andra halvan men nej det var inget kul eller spännande med detta. 1/5
Cute poppy tunes
I did not like this one Will I listen to again: 0%
Before the Bee Gees went falsetto and ruled the disco, they sang three part harmonic ballads that were turbo shite. 1/5 and I’m taking a point off for them singing songs that celebrate a genocide state (Israel) 0/5 and deservedly so.
Good lord, the Bee Gees are awful.
It's amazing it's their 9th album and equally amazing that they made it to disco and some actual songs with this bland overblown easy listening bag of bones.
anyone that hates disco should be made to listen to this pile of shit
Don’t think so
Firstly, it’s deeply fucking weird to write a love song about any country, let alone the genocidal ethno-state that is Israel. That is enough to earn 1 star all by itself, but every single song without exception is a slow dreary ballad with inane lyrics like “Where there’s sand, where there’s beautiful sand yeah”. Somebody Stop The Music - please.
Odesa was bad enough, but I was generous there with a 2. I can’t keep curving these guys’ work. This early Bee Gees stuff is just awful.
Fucking hell, this was awful.
This album is so bad it sounds like a skit of a band trying to sing fancy. It's boring, shrill and slow. I give very few 1 stars but this deserves it.
Nevermind Trafalgar. This felt more like The Hundred Years War. It is such a tremendous slog with one murderously dull and wretched folksy symphonic cornball ballad after another and not one disco hit in sight. The music is already pretty lame anyway but the Gibbs bros manage to serve up a truly bizarre and horrendous set of vocals with Robin especially pushing the boat out here. Robin has some really stiff and weird delivery going on with When Do I and with the chintzy oompah eurovisiony arrangement it does give me serious Edvard Khil trololo vibes except it’s not fun or uplifting in anyway and on the histrionic Lion In Winter he sounds like Roger Daltrey with a buzzard in his throat whilst running around after catching fire. 1.5 stars.
Fucking awful.
I love the Bee Gees, but this album was abysmal. Except for ‘How Can You Mend a Broken Heart’
Free Palestine
Can't say I like anything about this
Não consegui ouvir até o final zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Absolutely boring.
Highlight: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart. In a nutshell: Somebody stop the music! The opening track is proof that the Bee Gees *did* write some decent songs before their disco era (another one is Spicks and Specks, not on this album). But there are not many here or on Odessa. The Bee Gees are more of a Best of band. Just play How Can You Mend A Broken Heart and move on. Overall: 1/10
Is this better than Odessa? Probably. It's tighter and there's some mediocre Beatles rip-offs? Sure. But the maudlin songs are so bad. And it just feels like a contract fulfilling album. Don't understand how this gets on this list
Nobody really needs to hear this
Trash, my life is diminished having listened to this hot garbage.
Oh no. Such a wussified, limp, no balls, lame suckfest this was. Why is this album here? Some of it actual sounds like parody. Give me disco falsetto Bee Gees any day over this garbage. Best song (and only tolerable one): How Can You Mend a Broken Heart
I never realized how much The Bee Gees singer sounds like Kermit the Frog.
Very odd
Dreadful.
I couldn't tolerate the nasally warbling much past the half-way point of 'Somebody Stop the Music'; a song whose name I only now realize is perfectly suited for my review.
Disco Bee Gees are great....Trafalger BGs not so much. 1.5/5
I don't even like the Bee Gees' popular songs, so this album was never going to do well with me, and it was no surprise when this album of slower ballads by this band was not something I enjoyed listening to. To quote one of the track titles in this album: "Somebody Stop The Music". I feel a bit harsh and it's not the worst album on the list, but this falls below my 2-star albums for me. Rating: 1
zzzzzzzzzzzz........... How do you mend a broken heart er en banger, men den version vi havde på Al Green albummet var MEGET bedre. Resten var kedeligt! Tilslutter mig gerne 1'er-koret
Ku egentlig meget godt lide den der meget underlige Bee Gees plade vi havde tidligere, men det her er altså en af de værre vi har haft på listen! Svinger mellem kedeligt og pivringe. Nu gider jeg fandme ikke have mere Bee Gees med mindre jeg kan få noget disco.
😴 b-side bullshit
No
So I like all eras of the Bee Gees. This is not their strongest outing. Meh.
If you’re into brushing out your chest hair, spray tans, teeth whitener and blowouts, this album is definitely for you.
Beegees are terrible
This was worse than Odessa because that one ripped off the Beatles / Beach Boys and seemed to do it competently. This one continues that pattern by again copying those two and adding Elton John into the mix. Absolute snore.
Incredible that this is the same band that made something as catchy and exciting as "Stayin' Alive". This is overwrought, oversung, and plodding. Highlight: It's Just The Way Nadir: When Do I
Gear: Dunu SA6 Artwork: 🖼️⛵👌 Mix: 🤷♂️ Musik: ⛵🦺🏊☠️ Wertung: ⛵/5
114/1001 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑
Not a fan of this really. Cheesy and not in a charming way, vocals range from decent Lennon impression to real bad. The stretch from when do I->dearest->lion in water was pretty awful. There are some neat ideas here tho and the first track is quite nice. Musically probably should give it 2 stars but I’m dropping it to 1 because I really don’t understand why this album is in the 1001. It isn’t remarkable, influential, or super culturally relevant plus there’s already another early Bee Gees album included (Odessa, which I haven’t listened to but have heard is better) 3/10
Boring, dull, supports an apartheid state, uneventful, lethargic.
Æ ég er ekki heilluð af þessari plötu.
Not for me...
Genuinely hated it
Was prepared to give this a generous 2*, then that fucking Dearest song came on which highlighted everything that's shite about this record
Somehow this actually started off better than that other horrible Bee Gees album I reviewed ("Odessa"), even despite the horrible singing, but after track 1, it became the same over-the-top, self-absorbed, Beatles-meets-Floyd high school band karaoke.
First listen Saved 1/12 Top track: Don't Wanna Live Inside Myself
Couldnt finish it. Incredibly dull with no notable highlights.
Comically bad, every song is as edgy as a circle, the warbling vocals are equal parts hilarious and terrible. The wiki page suggests the album wasn't successful or notable so I assume it made the list by way of an admin error.
They were nearly irrelevant until Clapton and some others convinced them to turn to disco. I'm looking forward to one of their later albums to be fair, but this is dross.
The Bee Gees pre-Disco were pretty awful and dull.
Wasn't expecting much and it didn't disappoint! Didn't know any of the songs here and it was way duller than I was expecting. Not the discoey sound they are known for. Very forgettable
Much like the Battle of Trafalgar, listening to the Bee Gees will result in the death of plenty of semen.
I would not have asked them to contribute music to the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack based on this, and that would have been a mistake on my part. Didn't care for this one, though.
God this was bad. For a band known for their singing i found their tone incredibly bad and some of the songs were laughable.
i should have known it, i'm not a bee gees lover
Well. That was... an album. Imagine that 6 years later, this group would have one of the most upbeat, danceable albums of all time. EVER. At least the most well-known song was the first track. Imagine if it was buried deep in the album. You'd have to listen to all the other songs, which are just sooooooo melancholy and morose to get to it. Again, what makes this the album to hear before I die? Is it the album to hear to MAKE me die? Or the album I hear AFTER I die? Trapped in hell? Geez guys, ONE uptempo song. ONE. Is that too much to ask for? It does have "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart," which is an iconic song. But one song doesn't cut it for an album. I'd give this 2 stars because of that one track, but there are 2-star albums that have more merit than THIS. Sorry.
Really horrible. How did this make the list
Unbearable schmaltzy.
boring
Bee Gees .. tönt für mich alles gleich .. langweilig.
Ohne Höhepunkt und leicht übergehbar. Definitiv nicht für mich.
Of all the Bee Gees albums to choose from, author chose this one? Thanks for nothing, stupid-head.
Don't need to hear this album again.
Sehr schmulzig. Langweilig.
Almost put me to sleep
Wow. How is this on the list? I get that some albums are included because they are genre-defining, and I may not particularly enjoy a certain genre. But what genre is this defining? The shit lyrics sung horribly over boring music genre.
I would rather listen to "Staying Alive" for an hour and ten minutes than this dreck. I'm honestly not sure how this album found its way into "essential listneing" except maybe as a cautionary tale. If only there were a 0 star rating.
dont care for it 1
Interesting to hear them prior to disco -- but still not something I'm interested in listening to. 1.5 stars
sorry, not my jam at all. I don't think I've battled this hard in a while to finish an album.
<< Waterloo
This was extremely boring.
If this was a meal it would be bread with a glass of water. It's dull, bland, mundane. It's not doing anything terribly wrong, it's just not doing anything exciting or different. There's a solid base, but it's never built upon. I'm not sure why this is on this list.
I’m surprised I actually thought I would like this more than I did.
i thought i would enjoy this. could i write poetry to this? n
No, thank you.
I don't have much to say because I literally remember nothing about it except how bland and boring it was
Ugh this was a slog to get through. Wanted to turn off more then once, this was really pushing me towards giving a 1 which I haven't done in awhile. Not a single song that was memorable or anything like a banger. Not list worthy. And was the song "Trafalgar" even about the namesake battle? I listened to it and still don't know
Not my cup of tea.
If I could give zero…
The music was nice but I do not like the sound of their voices.
Very forgettable album. One and done.

I learned that The Bee Gees have a hell of a lot of albums and they weren't always disco. Learning those facts was far more interesting than anything on the album. I hated this very much.
i listened to half of it but it was mighty enough
One of the most dull albums I've ever listened to. The vocals are awful. Repetitive and boring. Their disco phase was much improved. Fav tracks: N/A
Sappy post-Beatles / pre-Elton ballads. Don't hear anything new here - really not sure why this is on this list.
Pish. 0 🌟
Kann ich wegen unfassbarer Belanglosigkeit nicht durchhören.
The last Bee Gees album we had on 1001 (Odessa) is one I am not likely to forget since it was mind boggling how such a bad album could make it to 1001. Trafalgar is also very hard to listen to. It is an example of the terrible music that was AM radio. The strange thing about these two Bee Gees albums is that I like the genres; I just hate the albums.
Bland and uninspiring, not sure how it made it to the list. 1/5 Won't listen again
Jooh huhhu mitä paskaa ei paljoo motivoi suuta soittamanaan..
Expecting a classic. Not at all
This is atrocious, whiney nonsense. Wrist-slitting music. Probably one of the least enjoyable experiences of this list. Some of the reviews have said that the latter tracks are better. They are not. It's just that so much of your brain has shut down by that point, you don't really notice it as much.
Good lord that was awful! Glad they found their sound with the more disco vibe, but that was hard to listen to.
Its so fucking bad, the only list this should be on would be the "worst albums ever recorded by a band who later made better work". 1/5
I will try to listen to this record all the way through. I will try to listen to this record all the way through. I will try to listen to this record all the way through. Please, I'd take the Disco BEE GEES over this. Truly one of the worst albums I've had to endure through this project. Zero stars.
Top 3 Songs: 1 - Walking Back To Waterloo (12) 2 - Trafalgar (7) 3 - How Can You Mend A Broken Heart (1)
Thought I liked the Bee Gees, but this album did a great job at changing that. Honestly, what the fuck? First time on the generator an album actually lessened my opinion of an artist. Somebody stop the music indeed. ⏹️
I was definitely not stoked to listen to the BeeGees. Never been a fan. After listening to the album, I’m still not stoked to listen ever again. 😆 Listen again: no Purchase for my collection: no Favourite Song: didn’t pay enough attention Worst Song:
Music to lie naked on a waterbed with a rose between your teeth to, with your hairy little prawn flopping around, praying your girl doesn't hit traffic coming home from work because then you might have to break the pose to flip the record over. Dripping with Napoleonic references and driving home on a sunny day with a band famous for energy made me pretty excited for this. What in the ever schmaltzing fuck was that. Last song is kinda ok but that's it.
Notable for opening with one of the most pernicious earworms in music history. No business being on the list.
I do not like the Bee Gees.
Mietinkin joskus, ettem tiedä, millaista Bee Gees on. Imelää.
Huomaan välillä hitusen lämpeäväni jollekin melodialle, vähän niin kuin monilla käy Totojen ym. kanssa. Levyn toteutus on kuitenkin vain niin (en keksi muutakaan sanaa) ällöttävä, että tiedostamattoman resistanssin asettama muuri sitä vastaan on ylitsepääsemätön.
So much promise... so much disappointment. GDMF, when will this band deliver? Will it ever deliver?
The Battle of Trafalgar was a British naval victory against Napoleon's France and their Spanish allies. Trafalgar Square in London is named after that seafaring triumph. I guess maybe Maurice Gibb lived near Trafalgar Square, though I couldn't find any explanation of the meaning behind the song "Trafalgar." The Battle of Trafalgar is pretty interesting. The album "Trafalgar" is not interesting. So instead, let's review the Battle of Trafalgar. Napoleon wanted to invade Britain. So he teamed up with Spain and sent their armadas after the English Channel. Invading Russia may have been the mistake that doomed Napoleon, but attempts to invade Britain did not work out so well either. On paper, the French had the superior force. But it was the bold tactic of British commander Horatio Nelson to charge right in and split the Spanish and French fleets. Even though French admiral Villeneuve had worried they might attempt this tactic, he still didn't plan for it. I'll give that decision ⭐️. Nelson was shot by a French sharpshooter during the ensuing battle, so I'll give him only ⭐️⭐️ due to the dying. But posthumously he gets ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and an eternal role as a British icon and namesake. The British victory gave them the crown of best navy in the world, and helped set the course for British imperial dominance of the 19th century. I've never been much into naval history, but reading the synopsis of the Battle of Trafalgar and falling down the Wikipedia naval rabbit hole was pretty exciting. Navies and sea battles are a bit slow, but maybe the summaries are quicker and more interesting than the Master & Commander approach. Oh, and the album! "Odessa" introduced me to pre-disco Bee Gees, and I was unimpressed. "Trafalgar" is the only other Bee Gees entry on the list, and it is also pre-disco. I remain deeply unimpressed and bored. I should have just stopped at "Somebody Stop the Music." When the artist implores you to stop listening, maybe you should heed that call. Instead I made it far enough to discover that of all the Bee Gees voices that I dislike, I dislike Robin's voice the most. It makes me want to stop the music. But I made it all the way to Waterloo. Was this just a concept album about Napoleon's biggest humiliations?
It wasn't a great album. It is certainly better than a one but I wouldn't say it is a two. I will round down.
Oh god, that warbling voice! Soft ballads - who listens to this and is under 80 years old? It sounds like I'm stuck in a church service and they have got a house band. And not the James Brown sort, the blue rinse hair and pearls sort. This was a painful listening experience. Bring on the disco Bee Gees cos this is so middle of the road. Lion in Winter just about broke me.
Dull, how was this so popular
bee gees suck
Admiral Nelson will be turning in his grave.
Did not age well. Super sappy & slow
not my cup of tea
zzzzzz
Way to sappy.
Gar Bage Didn't make it through the whole thing
I like a lot of the Bee Gees disco music, but this album falls flat for me in so many ways. It seems to be almost completely filled with basic unimaginative love songs. The vocals that they are know for don't do much of anything for me on this album. Like I said, it is mostly basic love/breakup songs over basic instrumentation and it was a struggle for me to get through. Can't point to a single song I loved, or even liked really. Favorite Song: "Trafalgar" (I guess)
Wimpy and spineless. I HATE that quivering vibrato style of singing they do on this album (and everywhere else) and the lyrics are appallingly bad and waaaaay-too-earnest. Fuck those bearded brothers. Dicks.
Sólo por la primera canción se merece las 2 estrellas, pero este disco ha sido el primero en aburrirme.
Ughh
While the first song or two were very nice, it soon descended into schmaltzy, Eurovision-y boringness for me.
eehhhhhh... Y s’passe rien, c’est de l’harmonie de vieux country qui tourne en rond. Tout est mou et sans corp. Très, très ennuyeux.
Je sais que la première pièce est un gros hit, mais personnellement je ne suis pas capable. Israel par contre avec son côté plus Elton John est beaucoup plus agréable. It's Just the Way et Walking Back To Waterloo sont vraiment les plus intéressantes selon mes goûts. J'ai l'impression d'avoir entendu la mélodie de Walking samplé sur quelque chose d'autre. Remembering et When Do I sont vraiment mauvaises. Trafalgar a un côté Beatles dans ses harmonies. Effectivement, la guitare dans Don't Wanna Live Inside Myself fait très While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Il y a aussi un petit côté Let It Be. Dearest ne cadre tellement avec le reste de l'album qu'on peut se demander ce qu'elle fait là. Mon écoute est faite et je ne reviendrai pas à cet album.
Dreadful - overwrought, syrupy ballads with dull vocal arrangements.
Never was a fan…and this album really sucks
Abysmal. Overwrought, self indulgent, over long, nails on a scratch board performance - worst album I heard so far. And the writing l? Ooof. When will I get the fun BeeGees? This is terrible.
This is the most annoyingly mediocre piece of forgettable try-hard rubbish I have heard in a long time. Other than having their first US #1 single (How can you mend a broken heart?) for a group that LATER became massive and influential (with a wildly different sound), this does NOTHING to justify its inclusion on a list of must-hear albums. This just makes me question the clear thinking of the list compiler. 47 minutes of my lie that I will never get back. (At least it wasn't the 53 minute version. Thank the lord for small mercies). I am really struggling to get through this. It sounds like everyone involved in the recording was loaded to the gills on valium, mandrax, qualudes or similar. I think it would be a better listening experience if I was similarly sedated.
Best Song: Trafalgar. Nice harmonies. Worst Song: The Greatest Man In The World. Sappy, weepy, corny, with way too much vocal vibrato. Overall: Why did I think the Bee Gees were fun? This was melodramatic, overly serious, and self-important. Should feature as Figure 1 in the textbook on over-singing.
I could have died without listening to this album
It’s literally the same song repeated twelve times! And that song is an absolute dirge. My wife left me! Here are some strings! Tedious beyond belief. How did this get made? I think it might be one of the worst albums I have ever heard.
What a bummer
Not into this at all.
Garbage
I had some slight interest in this being the Bee Gees pre falsetto and disco. That faded after 4 tracks, I couldn't stand any more
Oh god i barely got through the first 30 seconds of this. His nasal voice, just appalling.
Fucking awful
Just didnt work for me
I’m just trying and I’m sorry 😢 I’m sorry 😢 I’m not a fan and it’s a very difficult 😣 and it’s a hard time being in love 🥰 but it’s not that difficult 😞 and it’s hard when I can just say I’m so sad 😞 and it’s okay 👍 and you have no idea 🤷 and I’m glad 😌 and thank goodness 😅 and thank goodness for the drugs.
