"Have the Bee Gees ever made a bad album?? I don't think so! This is another cracker from the lads. All the songs are quality. but here are a couple to look out for:



* For Whome The Bell Tolls: This Top 5 UK hit is simply breathtaking. There are three very distinctive and different parts to this song which make it so amazing. I really feel the Gibbs should be given a genre of their own because this track has that unique Bee Gees sound once again.



* Heart Like Mine: Beautiful, haunting..........this is just amazing. You can feel the deep sorrowful emotion coming from robin's amazing voice......it's almost spooky.



Got some money? Do yourself a favour and but this pop masterpiece."

Best Bee Gees CD!

"After the low sales of "High Civilization", the Bee Gees decided that they needed to get much better. Clearly they did. Although it did poorly in the charts and sales, 'Size" was an awesome album with some hits that should have made the top ten.



1- "Paying the Price of Love" To kick things off is an upbeat dance song. Barry takes the lead, and sings great (except for when he starts screaming at one point). The music is good, and is sure to make you want to get up and dance. A music video is available at beegeesonline.com Also, on the single are two remixes (KC and Ocean Drive). I do not like Ocean Drive at all, but KC is pretty good.



2- "Kiss of Life" Robin takes the next lead with a rock song! Robin's vocals are the best on this album and "This Is Where I Came In". The chorus is great, the music rocks, the whole song is awesome.



3- "How to Fall in Love Pt. 1" This is the irst slow song. It is very sweet and Barry's vocals are wonderful. I love the chorus..." Experience Is Not Enough... I'll show you how to fall in love". The only wrong thing- where's Part 2?



4- "Omega Man" This is the first song Maurice leads on. He sounds great. Too bad he never got more of a role singing. I do not undserstand the lyrics, or why it is called Omega Man, but oh well. It is on the short side, but is one of the best songs on the CD. The instruments are cool, especially for the intro.



5- "Haunted House" Going back to along the lines of "Ghost Train", the three brothers manage to put in a spooky song. It reminds me of Halloween. Scary intro. Barry leads, with Robin doing some of the backing.



6- "Heart Like Mine" The next real slow song, led by Robin. It sounds kind of depressing, but gives hope that someone out there is perfect for you. This is the worst song on this CD.



7- "Anything for You" This is a fun song, like "Carzy For Your Love". Barry does a great falsetto lead. The chorus is repeated too many times, though.



8- "Blue Island" This was written for the children of Yugoslavia. It is great, with Barry doing no falsetto. Robin helps out on the chorus, and it rocks! Also there's a great harmonica solo.



9- "Above and Beyond" The other Moaurice lead. This one is great, but not as memorable as "Omega MAn". It is upbeat and fast.



10- "For Whom the Bell Tolls" Barry AND Robin take the lead. This is my favorite power ballad ever. Robin and Barry are perfectly harmonized. There is no fault with this song. IT'S PERFECT!



11- "Fallen Angel" Wrapping it up is a dance song led by Robin. It is extremely good. If "Paying the Price of Love" doesn't get you dancing, this sure will. A remix was offered on the "How to Fall in Love Pt. 1" single. It is not as glood.



*- "My Destiny" Only available on "Paying the Price of Love" singles, this is one of the few sonngs where all three brothers sing and can all be heard.While being short, it is worth every penny you spend. It is fast paced and a rock song.



*- "855 7019" Even rarer than "My Destiny", this was only found on the "How to Fall in Love Pt. 1" singles. It is slow, but it is awesome. It has kind of a Latino taste to it. This is my favorite of all 14 songs.



As you can see, this CD is full of awesome tracks and should have done MUCH better. Oh well. This CD is definitely worth getting."
