The Bee Gees Biggest Studio Album!, June 14, 2001
This review is from: Spirits Having Flown (Audio CD)
In the difficult position of having to top "Saturday Night Fever", the Gibb brothers surpassed themselves and created their biggest hit studio album of their careers, including three more #1 hits, making six #1 hit songs in a row! "Tragedy", "Too Much Heaven" and "Love You Inside Out" were all top hit singles. "Spirits (Having Flown)" was a large hit single overseas. All songs are Barry dominated vocals and he is at his falsetto best. However, "Stop (Think Again)" is a tad long and a little bit tedious, but the following tracks go right back to their upbeat best! Succeeding in avoiding any dance songs (disco), the Bee Gees out-do themselves. These songs are truly funky "R & B" numbers, a solid match for any rythym and blues band. "Until", the closing solo track may not be equal to their earlier hit "Words", but Barry's voice accompanied by the electronic harpsichord makes for a delicious ending.

Great follow up of tha "FEVER! ", March 1, 2000
This review is from: Spirits Having Flown (Audio CD)
This is really one of the best albums these three guys ever released. The tropical "Spirits (Having Flown)" and "I'm Satisfied" are both great. The ballads "Reachin' Out" and "Stop, Think Again" are heartbreaking. You can also dance to this album, thinking of "Search, Find" and "Living Together." "Until" is almost the music you often find in a dream in a movie. The three biggest hits of the album, "Tragedy", "Too Much Heaven" and "Love You Inside Out" are all three also great songs. Barry's fallsetto is great on this album and he really reaches notes that I couldn't believe he could reach. But hey, after all it's the "BEE GEES." This album is really worth buying and a great one to have in you're collection.
