Robbie Williams made a name for himself in 1995 when he split from the boy band of the early 90s, Take That. The band's popularity plummeted soon after, but Williams went from strength to strength as a solo artist.
Fast-forward 15 years: the rift appears to have been healed, Take That are as big as they ever were - and Williams' star is on a downward trajectory. But that hasn't stopped him releasing a collection of greatest hits. There are two new songs, including the opening track, Shame, written and sung with his former nemesis, Take That's lead singer Gary Barlow. It documents the pair's rocky relationship in a tongue-in-cheek, country-tinged tune.
The first two discs of the three-disc deluxe edition features tracks in reverse chronological order. Disc 1 contains some of his more heartfelt tracks, such as Feel and Something Beautiful, songs that reveal a softer, more earnest side to a man often viewed as a bit of a clown.
Disc two gathers perhaps Williams' best-known songs. Angels, Rock DJ and Let Me Entertain You appear, as does the Take That track Everything Changes. The majority of these songs are light-hearted, feel-good songs with sing-along lyrics and arm-waving potential.
The final disc is a selection of B-sides and previously unreleased tracks, many of which are acoustic numbers which prove the man can sing.
