Amazon.co.uk Review
As a piece of propaganda, James Blunt’s album Back to Bedlam does more for changing the face of the British Army than a series of television adverts ever could. Swapping a rifle for a guitar, the former cavalryman’s ballad-heavy debut is a clearly aiming to win the battle for the public’s hearts and minds. The success of singles like "You’re Beautiful" and "No Bravery" (inspired by his time stationed in Bosnia) are both heartfelt and sensitive, the latter packing an additional emotional punch beyond the typical lovelorn ballads of his contemporaries like Damien Rice. But Blunt also sings with conviction about matters of the heart, and that’s the territory that most of Back to Bedlam visits, with songs of loss like "Goodbye My Lover", "So Long Jimmy" and "Billy". And throughout, the arrangements remain understated yet effective, thanks to the input of such heavyweight producers and songwriters like Linda Perry and Guy Chambers. All of which prove that there’s a lot of depth to this modern, musical hero. --Robert Burrow Album Description Back to Bedlam, the debut album from James Blunt, recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Tom Rothcock (Beck, Elliott Smith, Badly Drawn Boy), takes the listener through heartfelt songs of unattainable romances, lost loves and friends' failures before climaxing with James' first-hand experience of war. | |

'You're Beautiful' is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most irritating and grating song I've ever heard. I'm serious.
If I hear it playing anywhere I have to walk out, or if it comes on the radio or TV, it gets switched off immediately. Apart from the horrible 'You're Beautiful' screech that occurs at many intervals throughout the song, there is absolutely nothing else about the song that stands out. Still, after one album he'll never be heard of again so I shouldn't worry too much. Hey ho! | |

Then I cum again. | |
