The dead sing!

The gang squint in disbelief over the horizon as Robbie Williams emerges with his eighth album in tow, 2009's Reality Killed The Video Star. After years of self-imposed isolation in his own Robbie Hole following the disastrous reception of Rudebox, Robbie Williams teams up with veteran producer Trevor Horn for a full-throated comeback album, featuring Doo-Wop gem You Know Me, the Beatles-indebted Morning Sun, and the out-and-out banger Bodies. The boys reminisce about this being the first Robbie era they actively remember experiencing, and discuss how his reined-in pop songcraft here compares with the insanity of Rudebox. The reaction to this album is more important than ever, its existence being an attempt at reclaiming Robbie's place in popular culture and avoiding the fate of the eternal punchline. With his reputation in tatters, can Robbie win the public over? Or will Reality kill this Video Star once and for all?
