JAMES BLUNT BACK TO BEDLAM CD COVER FULL

I honestly cannot find an ounce of real talent to even be able to say the standby line in these circumstances, 'He has talent and hopefully he'll build on that next album.' This album may not have originally made to be a major label tool for selling albums, but honestly, the only people I see enjoying this album are housewives in turbulent marriages and pre-teens who just got broken up with because summer came. It revels in being stereotypical and clichР“С“Р’В©, with oh-so-little room for originality outside of the rather trippy cover art. Granted, I didn't go in depth in any way, shape, or form for the good part, but honestly, this album doesn't make me want to. And Wisemen is a decent song (I mean, come on, psuedo-biblical references ftw).Р”Вid you see that? Three paragraphs expounding on why this album stinks, and two whole sentences on what was good. There's nothing going on instrumentally that even constitutes real discussion what they do is so absolutely monotonous and bland that if I heard Daniel Powder or any number of not-worth-the-time artists over it, I would think 'Oh, that must be that 'Snow' song.Р”В«ack to Bedlam is kind of a neat title. The moments that do end up getting stuck in your head, such as the chorus from High (' But now I'm hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh') go from being memorable to anger-inducing within 5 minutes, and you'll punch your best friend more times than you'll actually press play on winamp. Unfortunately, James Blunt is neither a flaming homosexual nor catchy or moving in any way. But maybe the music as a whole can overcome that, right? There is no reason for Boy George to be anything but an affront to life, but by god if I can ever get Karma Chameleon out of my head for a week after I've heard it. Again with the thought provoking questions Why do they have pickups!?!?!? (oh, for reference, that was the only listenable track on the album, Wisemen). It's not me.Р“СћРІвЂљВ¬Р’Сњ and for it not to be ruined by Р“СћРІвЂљВ¬Р•вЂњ Those three Wise Men, They've got a semi by the sea.Р“СћРІвЂљВ¬Р’Сњ. What I want is stuff like ' Look who's alone now, It's not me. Blunt? I don't appreciate such thought provoking questions being asked to me when I'm listening to sugar coated faux-alt pop. The Jimmy Hendrix tribute So Long Jimmy is silly and completely worthless, as Blunt epically sings such lines as Р“СћРІвЂљВ¬Р’СњDid you lick that line yourself, Or did the voodoo magic help? ' Did it, Mr. Really, is she beautiful James? I'd say this was the worst lyrical moment on the song, but there are quite a few others to draw from. There is the quintessential Blunt chorus ' YouР“СћРІвЂљВ¬РІвЂћСћre beautiful. A mere check of his hit single You're Beautiful will reveal just how awful Blunt be. James Blunt completely sidesteps this as well. Of course, some singers overcame bad voices with their penchant for songwriting (Bob Dylan, anyone?).

Not the normal 'oh that guy sucks' kind of thing, full on 'Why is this mother singing!?You see, he has a weird little trick he does with his voice, that I really can't describe, but since I assume everyone has heard Shakira, I can only describe it as an emasculated, more grating, and even more impossibly high. However, as time wore on (AKA I listened to this album once), I already hated its very being.

Mind you, I didn't like it, but I could stand it and enjoy the music (more on that later). The first four times I heard You're Beautiful, I could stand it. The most obvious example of this is his extremely high, annoying voice. It's a culmination of horrible facets that, while they may occasionally work for other artists, he deems suitable to flaunt at every single waking moment. What's wrong with Blunt isn't anything in particular. Reviews oh so rarely get to the point these days, so I'll just sum up my normal two paragraph long intro with one simple statement: James Blunt sucks.
