As almost everybody, I knew mostly the Bee Gees for their disco era and had no idea they had such a diverse career. So, this is a not so bad soft-rock album, sometimes very Beatle-esque. The fact that it is only ballads makes it a bit boring though, it lacks of dynamic and might have been better with punchier songs. Once again, I wonder however why this appears in this list. It might be a 2.5, but I rate it 2 because it has no real significance.
This is an oddity. Like everyone else, I know all of the Bee Gees late 70s disco classics but I was completely unaware of this album from 1971 which for some reason seems to be themed around famous battles of the Napoleonic era. There are some reasonably enjoyable tracks here (and the odd clunker) but nothing essential. Even their voices don’t sound quite as falsetto as they would go on to be. Great cover though!
