My brother lives in London and every time I visit I would hear yet another brilliant song from Robbie on the radio. Finally I bought "I'll Be Expecting You" and was totally blown away so naturally I bought "..Ego.." upon it's release. This man has obvious talent, albeit he borrows heavily from the Beatles, Oasis etc. but who cares these songs stand on their own. I bought this album because it was a combination of his two hit Brit albums and a fine example of what he can do. This guy, unlike Take That, deserves to be huge stateside and after seeing him live at The Bowery Ballroom, I have no doubt he will(he tore the roof off). If you buy only one album this year make it this one. Look out Grammy committee!!!!!!
