Superb!, 4 Dec 2006
Reviewer:

I cant believe just how perfect this album is, no other record in the world has ever come close to the beauty that is Pete and Katie.
I used to have a collection of over 1,000 CDs but this one album has made them obsolete, for I shall never play one of them again, this will never leave my CD player.
I have now parcelled up the rest of my music collection and am giving it away to those not fortunate enought to be able to afford this album...
At last I am at peace I have purchased my last ever CD.

Two monstrous talents, 2 Dec 2006
Reviewer:
The Tears of Orpheus (Eindhoven, Netherlands) - See all my reviews
I literally can not stop my feet from dancing and my fingers from clicking. Every synapse in my brain has stopped firing and my emotional palette has been wiped clean. I feel that I have been afflicted with the musical version of Parkinson's Disease and I love it.
Yet, I also despair. How can I, as a loving husband, ever try to tell my wife of my love for her again when I hear Peter Andre's sincerity oozing like pulchritudinous pustules of teenage hormones.
When I listen to 'Tonight I Celebrate My Love For You,' I think of the beautiful sorrow of parting that Peter must feel when he is alone in his hotel room able only to watch Jordan's oral talents on the Pay TV service. Timeless classics so modern that you feel reborn and as blessedly ignorant as a new child gush forth in a manner so modest and reserved that it almost seems like ostentation. How can two monstrous talents such as these, who so shun public exposure, have plucked up the courage to make this bold, vibrant statement of artistic splendour? And lets not forget Peter's contribution either.
If I knew what it meant, I would describe this as a tour de france of an album. Every number steams solidly to combine into an aural pastoral, making me conjure up images of a beautiful country lane after the herd has passed. This is a bovine of an album. It is not some fey, weak, short-lived songbird, it demands to be heard in the same fashon as summer evening kine lowing. Yet moreso!
The cherished graveyards of musical history have opened up their graves, tombs and sepulchres and sent forth their most beloved corpses to have new life breathed into them. Nothing is sacred anymore, nothing is respected as Peter coaxes new pearls of fertile seed from his throat. And Jordan is there with a natural beauty that seems almost prosaic as she blows such honest, primal sentiment over the shrivelled members of music's pantheon.
Each one of these tracks is a well-oiled slab of commercial, power pop.
'Islands in the Stream,' naturally makes me think of Jordan bathing in the love of her husband. How lucky she is that a song so describing her massive contributions to modern consumer culture was written for her? One staggers in awe at the prophetic geniuses who surely must have known that this album would one day demanded to be made.
I could carry on penning the eulogy of all that is tasteful and talented, but I must desist. Instead, I feel I must prick this bubble of wonder that surrounds me and register a disastisfaction with this album. The second song is titled, The Best Things In Life Are Free but this isn't true dear reader. The best thing in life costs only a mere £8.99! But be assured that by the time you hear the third song on this album that you will have formed an Endless Love with this jewel in the world's navel.

Ms X (UK) - See all my reviews
as soon as i heard that Katie and Peter were releasing this album on the 27th November i was up early and couldn't wait to go get it, i have to say that after listening to it, i think it is brilliant and i think bahoo to those that think Katie can't sing, because she can.

Wow. Just wow., 1 Dec 2006
Reviewer:
Mr. Ewan Tant "Mister Toad" (The Holy Parish of Wokingham, England) - See all my reviews
Sometimes you see something that you just know that your grandma is going to love filling up her christmas stocking. Well, if she wasn't dead that is. When I saw the faces on the cover and those names I just knew that, god rest her soul, this would be one such item. To evoke her memory I went ahead and made this purchase for donation to the local care home. The only problem is that upon hearing the dulcet tones of that first stanza I literally could not part with this album.
This album is no mere christmas gift, this is in fact a drop of gold from the heavens themselves, somehow made available to us mortals down on earth. This is one of the great works of art, if not THE great work of art. It's greater than Picasso's Guernica, more moving than Billie Holiday's Strange Fruit, more pioneering than The White Album by the Beatles.... well, the list of more thans could keep on going. Forever.
Cherish it. Hold it. Mate with it. Buy it, for it transcends mere earthly values such as capitalism and religion. Sheer heaven.

What can I say - my Renee and Renata album is just about shot. How can I possibly replace it I have been pondering - and here is the answer to my dreams. Track after track of velvety goodness. Awesome.

Is the world going mad?, 30 Nov 2006
Reviewer:
Common Sense "Yeah yeah" (England) - See all my reviews
It's not often that you can buy a record which is sung by 3 huge t1ts.
Anybody taking this albumn or these artists seriously should be removed from society and placed into a secure unit somewhere where they can be looked after by people wearing white uniforms.
