Advantages: An excellent album that you'll certainly get your moneys worth from

Disadvantages: None that I can see

James Blunt now has his second album out; All The Lost Souls. His debut album, Back To Bedlam, was something new and refreshing and certainly got people's heads turning on both sides of the Atlantic. James Blunt, with his song "You're Beautiful" was the first Brit to be number 1 in America since Elton John did Candle In The Wind in memory of princess Diana. So, that's a tough thing to beat; number one in both the UK and the US. Can he make another album that could be just as good as his first and more? Of course he can; and he has!

All The Lost Souls is an excellent album. I had mixed feelings when i was about to press "Play" for the first time on this new CD. While I wanted to like it as much as I liked Back To Bedlam, I didn't want to get my hopes up; so often these days the more albums a signer or band brings out, the less effort seems to have been put in to it. I can honestly say that I was FAR from disappointed. Each song was fresh and original with subtle links to his previous work but standing proud on their own. I found myself getting to the end of the CD and starting it again. Normally I don't like doing this as it can "kill" an album if I hear it too much in too short a space of time but this was too addictive to leave alone. I found myself humming the tunes to some of the catchy songs and eager to hear them again. The track list is as follows:

1. 1973
2. One Of The Brightest Stars
3. I'll Take Everything
4. Same Mistake
5. Carry You Home
6. Give Me Some Love
7. I Really Want You
8. Shine On
9. Annie
10. I Can't Hear The Music

All The Lost Souls, the latest and greatest of James Blunt's work, is a rare thing. It's an album that gets you excited when you listen to it. I truly believe that he has once again given us something as exceptional as his last CD. Full of catchy tunes that will have you bopping your head in your car are humming while you work, All The Lost Souls is flawless and has earned its place in my top five albums of all time. Well Done Jimmy!

Summary: All in all, an EXCELLENT album that you'll enjoy singing along to for years!
