Short description
Stoke's favourite son's sixth studio album marks a new stage in the career of Mr Robert Peter Williams, Britain's favourite popular entertainer. Severed from his former right hand man, songwriter Guy Chambers, Intensive Care sees him forging a new partnership with former Lilac Time stalwart Stephen Duffy. The result is his most complete album to date, free from the gimmicky fillers--like "Me and My Monkey" and "Jesus In A Camper Van"--that tended to drag previous efforts down.Stoke's favourite son's sixth studio album marks a new stage in the career of Mr Robert Peter Williams, Britain's favourite popular entertainer.

Long description
Combine bombastic cock-sure self-aggrandizing antics with sweeping melodies and forlorn lyrical confessions and you’ll have an album by the planet’s biggest, brattiest pop star – well outside Uncle Sam’s domain anyway. Intensive Care is Robbie Williams pop by numbers and is a rollercoaster of trite balladry and soaring pop anthems complete with the pre-requisite over-hype that will no-doubt irritate his detractors and delight his fans
