The idea of a Robbie Williams album of 'swing' music 'ironically' playing off the name of his last album seems like the kind of lame joke that Cannon and Ball are currently peddling around some dingy seaside resort right now. Except the nightmare has come true. So gaze nautiously at the back cover image of Robbie 'ironically' looking like a member of the Rat Pack, complete with gelled-down side parting, and prepare yourselves for perhaps the most smarmily disgusting album that shall hopefully emerge this century. The only thing Frank would be proud of is the fact that he died before he had the horror of hearing the type of music he peddled being stamped and pissed on by an ex-boy band cast-off. But how could we forget the 'chemistry' of Robbie's duet on Nicole Kidman on the 'wondrous' 'Somethin' Stupid'.
