Amazon.com's Best of 1999 More than a decade passed between song collections from Randy Newman, a drought that's finally ended with Bad Love, an album the self-critical songsmith ranks with his best. Age certainly hasn't mellowed the satirical composer, who targets Western imperialists, shameful lechers, and burned-out rock stars this time out. --Steven Stolder Similar CDs

CD ReviewsAh, the essence of bitterness... J. Carroll | Island Heights,NJ | 10/30/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "I was surprised to find a few reviews here that were offended by some of Newman's songs found on BAD LOVE. As if the title wasn't warning enough, this is quintessential Newman, adopting the persona of some of the more reprehensible characters around in order to portray them clearly for all to see. BAD LOVE is a return to form; the songs here are a balance of bittersweet and pure vitriol. That's the way I like my Newman: Unfiltered. While not as cohesive as some earlier efforts, BAD LOVE definitely let's you see ugly side of life, surrounded by excellent melodies and more than a few comments on the world as scene through the eyes of a pure cynic. While not entirely successful, "Better Off Dead" with its soaring strings sounds like bad muzak left me cold and "The Great Nations of Europe" sounds like an outtake from SAIL AWAY, this really does hearken back to prime Newman." Randy comes up with a good one. rock god | 08/02/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "randy's return in 1999 was a good one, probably his best since the great "sail away" and ""good old boys" my favorites include the hilarious "shame" you find an aging randy get into an argument with his back up singers, and the nice sounding "the one you love" finds randy at his best." My Favorite Randy Newman album W. K. Gray | South Carolina | 08/14/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "As only Randy Newman can, he alternately amuses the hell out of you (I'm Dead But I Don't Know It) and breaks your heart (My Country). And as if that weren't enough, he confounds you by doing both within the same song(Shame, The World Isn't Fair). Randy Newman is his own man, and I couldn't be more thankful about that. I LOVE this album."
