Bee Gees Greatest Hits
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.
There is no consistency on this album, but don't let that put you off. You'll think you're listening to the Beatles on the first tracks, then we move into elevator music from the early Seventies, disco, middle-of-the-road musak for Streisand and Parton, and finally end up with the digital sound of their more recent hits.
Yet there is one thing that holds the album together: phenomenal songwriting. I don't care who you are, it is inescapable that the Bee Gees are great songwriters. Track after track just gives you shivers - not major shivers, we are not talking about Led Zeppelin - but that gentle sense of watching the work of a true craftsman.
I kept discovering new songs that I'd vaguely heard somewhere, but was now becoming addicted to. Odd little songs, but they just stay with you. Oh, and get to know "This Is Where I Came In," the penultimate track. It's an absolute classic.
A textbook album for songwriters.
