5.0 out of 5 stars This album is fantastic, June 1, 2001

By	Jennifer Creekmore (Manteca, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Size Isn't Everything (Audio CD)

To me, this album is the best that the Bee Gees have done. "Paying the Price of Love", "Haunted House", "Omega Man" and "Fallen Angel" all have great energy to them, and show how well the Bee Gees can "rock and roll"! You can feel the energy in these songs and you will not stop dancing! Also, the songs "For Whom the Bell Tolls", and "Blue Island" are "heart-breakers" that illustrate the Bee Gees' beautiful melodies and "soul-grabbing" lyrics. Consequently, I especially enjoy how this group has combined the fast-paced songs with the ballads, and this makes "Size Isn't Everything" a must-have! I think that if you enjoyed "Still Waters" and "One" you will most definately want this CD. Bee Gees forever!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Substance And Style, July 16, 2001

By	Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Size Isn't Everything (Audio CD)

This CD contains four hit singles, although the only one to chart in the USA was "Paying The Price Of Love", a fair, but unsuccessful attempt at 'hip-hop'. No matter. The rest of the album is wonderful. "Kiss Of Life" has an upbeat tempo with a killer chorus, while "How To Fall In Love, Part I" contains some of Barry's most soulful singing. Robin matches this soulfulness with his own on "Heart Like Mine". "Blue Island", a beautifully harmonized ballad dedicated to the children of Bosnia, has an amazing harmonica solo; unusual for the Gibbs. The remaining songs are all high tempo, especially "Above And Beyond" and "Fallen Angel", the latter being one of the Gibbs most danceable songs to date. The big sleeper here is, "For Whom The Bell Tolls", a romantic power ballad that should have been a big hit.

If you buy the IMPORT, you'll receive "Decadance", a high-tech remix of "You Should Be Dancing". It's worth the search. If you are very lucky, you may be one of the few to find a 'hidden track' - another version of "Decadance" not listed on the cover notes!

4.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best of the Bee Gees, September 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Size Isn't Everything (Audio CD)

I've been on a long search for this album and when I finally got it, I can't stop listening. I almost listen two to three times a day to this album, almost more than I listen to my "Still Waters" or "One" or "E.S.P" albums. "Paying The Price Of Love", "Kiss Of Life", "Haunted House", "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and "Fallen Angel" are the best. Maurice takes an great lead on "Omega Man" and "Above And Beyond" and they both rock hard.

I would advise any big fan of the Brothers Gibb, to buy this album if you haven't got it yet, because it's really great. Some people say that this is the best album the Bee Gees ever released, that is so true, but "Still Waters" I guess are the best.
