The Bee Gee’s are legends. Is there anyone who will doubt this? From hits they’ve done on their own to the monster hits they’ve written for all sorts of artists over the last few decades. Now comes a new album filled to the brow with new songs.
They still have it. I’m almost embarrassed to admit it. “This Is Where I Came In” may not have hit written on it but that doesn’t detract from it one bit.
The love songs aren’t left far behind. “Sacred Trust” is good, but doesn’t hold a candle to “Wedding Day”. Can you see the dollars here? Every wedding dj in the world is going to snap this baby up.
My favorite track comes from the simply desirable “Man In The Middle”. “Déjà vu” sounds like it could have been sold to the Backstreet Boys or NSYNC. It’s not bad, but it’s certainly a pop track that could attract plenty of attention with the teeny boppers. “Technicolor Dreams” has a bit of a vaudeville jaunt and is a great break in the middle of heavy tracks.
“Loose Talk Costs Lives” is an interesting title, and an even more interesting song. More interesting is “Embrace”. It pulls up that dance beat we’ve heard once before, however, this track doesn’t seem to build to epic stature. The last track, “Voice In The Wilderness”, gives us a good rock song.
The Bee Gees are living legends. This Is Where I Came In however doesn’t quite live up to expectations. But those expectations are mighty high. They certainly have a better showing than most bands that try to muster up a comeback without sounding like a cover band.
