Average Rating: Rating: - Historic Album The transgression in musical maturity from "E.S.P." to "One" is amazing. This was to be the album that combined Andy Gibb with his three siblings. It never happened. Instead this album is dedicated to Andy and the broken heart lyrics are all over the place. "Ordinary Lives" was the big hit in the U.K., while the title track made the biggest impression in the USA since the late seventies. "Bodyguard" is a sexy, sensually woven song utilizing those famous harmonies, while "Flesh And Blood" is simply explicit. "It's My Neighborhood" was initially intended to be Andy Gibb's next single, but the brothers recorded it themselves - great song; it also ended up in the 'Saturday Night Fever' Broadway Show. Signs of Andy also show up in great ballads like, "Wish You Were Here" and "Tears". The heartfelt longing is more than evident. Finishing up the tracks is "Will You Let Me", a great funky dance song and on the IMPORT album only, "Wing And A Prayer", a song written for the Olympics.The song writing is excellent, the vocals are perfect, and the band incredible. This is an earmark moment for the Bee Gees. Rating: - Less Falsetto, A Little More Edge This album feels a little more serious, more subdued than many other Bee Gees albums. Some of the songs reflect recent grief ("Wish You Were Here", "Tears", "Ordinary Lives"), while "It's My Neighborhood" reflects a more rock-oriented edge. There is, of course, the terrific single "One", another bright pop tune "Tokyo Nights", and some very sultry numbers ("House of Shame", "Wing and a Prayer", "Bodyguard", "Will You Ever Let Me"). I especially love Robin's passionate vocal on "Flesh and Blood". From start to finish, this is a great album and an essential Bee Gees recording. Rating: - Not A Bad Album! While not quite as good as their classic 60s/70s work,or Still Waters,it's still got its share of fine moments,like the brilliant title song,Ordinary Lives,Bodyguard,and the touching tribute to their late brother Andy,Wish You Were Here.All in all,a nice entry in the Bee Gees catalog!
