"This is where I came in is a primo cd. I haven't listened to the Bee Gees in about 20 years. After catching A&E's One Night Only, I ordered this CD. This is one of the best CD's I own. It has quickly become one of my favorites. My kids like it too. The Bee Gees' music is ageless. Everyone remembers them and kids are experiencing quality music and song writing at a time when most groups are re-recording anything they can pay copyrights for. They are an amazing group and this CD is incredible. The Wedding Day song makes me want to get married all over again just to have it played at my wedding. It's a shame that the Bee Gees aren't more popular in the US market. The States are missing out on one of musics classic groups."

To Import or Not To Import

"This is a first-rate Bee Gees' CD, full of energetic, feel-good music. Pop ballads are interspersed with some very catchy up-tempo tracks; the result is a well-crafted album that is, in my opinion, one of their best ever. This review is specifically directed towards the two bonus tracks included on the import version. Both are gorgeous songs and well worth having, particularly if you're a fan of Robin's vocals. "Promise the Earth" offers a top-notch performance by Robin of a beautifully-crafted song. It has the strongest euro-pop beat on the album. In short, it's high energy and it's phenomenal! "Just in Case" is a lovely ballad. For those who've seen the Keppel Road video, this is the work-in-progress that was showcased there. Robin sings the verse, and Barry is the dominant voice on the chorus. The song turned out to be far more beautiful than I could've imagined.These two tracks (together with "Embrace," "Deja Vu," "Sacred Trust" and "Wedding Day") are my favourites on a CD that is full of great songs. If you like what you hear on the sample tracks, you'll not be disappointed with this CD. Get it and you'll see why these three brothers are among the best songwriters and performers of the 20th century!"

Bee Gees in a new decade

"This album is absolutely awe inspiring. Their 1981 album "living Eyes" has been my favourite for some time now, and so this album has been quite welcomed to my machine. It has simlar background harmonies, as well as a Renaissance art-like feel, just like the LE album which came right in the heart of Wew Wave and theatrics in pop. TIWICI starts of with the title track, which i thought was too sugarine to kick start this seriously well crafted album. Nevertheless By track 2 you realise the variety of this album. Track 1 would be my only criticism. It has a pop feel with commercial bluesy guitar overtones in the chorus. 2 repetitive!If they need a hit they picked the wrong song (as per usual). Track 2 on the other hand is great rock and funk, like Prince, moving the stiffest of feet, in a pumping rhythm, and pulsating bass.Rob's vocals prove to be valuable for any R&B/hip-hop artist's work in the future. "Sacred Trust" needs to be put on a hit teeny flick, with Drew Barrymore, and this will be number 1 in more countries than my dog has flees! ST is a Back Street Boys genre song. Great for some care-free romance! Ooh YEAH! Weddind Day is a more serious love ballad, crafted a la Living Eyes. I thought "Paradise" from LE was identical in its superb organic arrangement as Wedding Day. It could not have been produced to sound more real.its the BEST. It puts the whole Still Waters production to shame. Deja Vu on the other hand is a radio friendly song, and should be an automatic hit. It has some great Rock guitars and voice overdubs, and would also do well in a movie marketed for teenagers. Finally there's Walking On Air. It is Brian Wilson inspired. It creates a surreal feel from its incredibly sweet melody in the verse. Mo does the whole thing himself, even though it sounds like a big team effort (a la Brian!). You will have this song on repeat I assure you!WARNING: SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES. Pure Pop Paradise! This is one of the top 5 BG albums! Listen to it for yourself!"
