Music reviews of The Ultimate Bee Gees (2 CD)
Music Review: Tales From The Brothers Gibb 2009
Rating: 4 Stars
It has been 50 years since The Bee Gees came alive, and have been introduced to the spotlights of fans of all kinds, all over the world. While the Gibb brothers have had their shares of highs and lows, the songs that have been conjured, have honestly been one of the biggest constants as singer/songwriters of all time. While it is so sad that The Bee Gees aren't performing anymore, since the tragic and heartbreaking death of Maurice Gibb back in 2003. Nevertheless, with the way the music industry has been going lately, it has been very easy to deeply forget all the great and down to Earth guilty pleasures that Robin, Andy and Maurice have made for so many generations that have been dancing with joy. Now to celebrate the trio's 50th Anniversary, a new collection has been made to showcase The Bee Gees in the best, but it isn't completely all of the best.
The Ultimate Bee Gees, replaces the well-documented and received 2001 double-album hits package The Bee Gees Their Greatest Hits: The Record, as a new entry of what has made The Bee Gees talented as songwriters. The songs have all been remastered and neatly packaged as a mostly strong reflection of what has made The Bee Gees so strong in strength as singers from their best anthems in the 70's like Jive Talkin, How Deep Is Your Love, Stayin' Alive and You Should be Dancing from Saturday Night Fever, to their most intimate ballad they've made for themselves like Too Much Heaven and How Can You Mend A Broken Heart. It also includes some of their most overlooked and dedicated songs like One, Alone, Still Waters Run Deep, and their last big hit, This Is Where I Came In. The collection also includes some songs that've never been on a Bee Gees compilation including live material of songs that they wrote for other acts like Heartbreaker for Dionne Warwick and Guilty which Barry recorded with Barbara Streisand back in 1980. While the collection is a deep and strong double-album, there are a few tracks that have been surpringly overshadowed from their past collections including Throwing Our Love Away, which The Gibb brothers recorded with their departed brother Andy (whom sadly died in the late 80's,) and Immortality which they did a brilliant recording of, which they later gave to Celine Dion.
Overall, despite a couple of flaws, The Ultimate Bee Gees still remains a very strong and detail reflection of what had made The Bee Gees one of the strongest singer/songwriting groups of all time. It is a great reminder of how strong their song have remained throughout the testiments of time, and how deep their songs are enjoyable to listen to. While there are too many of the wannabe artists out there right now like Rihanna and The Jonas Brothers who seem to have taken over the mainstream to this generation of music lovers, they'll never have the deep impact that The Bee Gees have still carried with their greatest songs. If you've never owned a Bee Gees album before, or heard any of their songs, than this would be a great buy for your music collection.

Description of The Ultimate Bee Gees (2 CD)
THE ULTIMATE BEE GEES is a double-disc career retrospective featuring the group's many hits and chart-topping singles, performances of a selection of hit songs they wrote for others, and liner notes by Tim Rice.Tim Rice's liner notes accompanying THE ULTIMATE BEE GEES puts the group's extravagant popularity into perspective. 'Within this package is a collection of performances and songs that very few practitioners of popular music of the past could match for quality, originality, and emotion. It's the singing, the harmonies, the arrangements, the sound, the rivalry, the love, the intelligence, the determination, but above all it's the songs.'
