All The Lost Souls

Product Information

Raccolta fondamentale per chi vuole conoscere i retroscena dei video e gli episodi di vita che hanno ispirato le canzoni di James Blunt. Two or three of these tracks are reasonably catchy and uplifting, in a Chris-Martin-on-an-off-day kinda way. In other words, he still adheres to the Gray template the second time around, but he opens things up slightly with some spacy textures reminiscent of Coldplay and a heavy dose of classic popcraft" and finished the review saying "This makes All the Lost Souls soothing, not haunting.

Although I owned nearly all versions of this album this was one I missed until now, playing through a great DVD player and an amp with some quality speakers the DVD quality shines through. The anthemic 'Shine On' is exquisitely crafted while 'I Can't Hear the Music' hooks into your brain with its James Bond-style orchestration" and finished saying "But snobbery apart, this is a terrific album. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. perfectly crafted sings overflowing with melody, crammed with hook lines and rick with intense emotion. But being urged by the posh ex-Army tyke to 'shine on' ("Shine On") and told that we're listening to 'the sound of my breaking heart' ("I Really Want You") frankly doesn't hold much water next to such inadvertently hilarious clunkers as 'Why don't you give me your love?

Reading some of the less than flattering reviews I wondered 'could the lovely James have delivered a stinker here? On the UK Singles Chart, the song peaked at number four, despite being at number one on the Airplay charts. Blunt's voice is quite the acquired taste, and nothing on here really stands out or connects from a thematic or lyrical standpoint.

Several songs on the album were performed at live shows during Blunt's 2006 tours, including "1973", "I Really Want You", "Annie" and "I Can't Hear the Music". Same Mistake' (which was performed before an audience of billions at Live Earth) and the dazzling `I Really Want You'.Blunt also performed the song "Same Mistake" during his performance at the Live Earth concert in London.
