The entire album, used, seemed to be my only option in getting this music as it's not available on iTunes. Great album, great music. I'm confused as to why the album isn't available in the US market. Some of these songs were big hits... Still, very satisfied with it. January 21, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteMy All Time Favorite Bee Gees albumQuote
The title track of this album is worth the price alone. "One" has a groove that just won't quit, and the harmonies....well, that's their trademark. The production is consistent throughout, and Maurice and Robin turn in some great lead vocals as well. This could be the best Bee Gees album ever made.... January 4, 2008

The Bee Gees always followed trends, but almost always transcended them.

Their early work was scattered--blues, rock, folk, blue-eyed soul, and more. But it was great. They sometimes lost focus (or never had a focus), but their brilliant, searing (almost, but not quite, whining) harmonies always made them better than their models.

This was true even in their Disco Phase. "Main Course" is a wonderful album, despite, rather than because of, the disco.

This album, "One," has some very nice things in it.

But it does have a terrible problem: the mix.

The boys' voices are mixed FAR BACK--and the cheesy 80s arrangement tends to drown them out.

This is a big mistake.

The vocals are always the Bee Gees' greatest asset, yet here it is hard to hear them.

Sometimes they sound as weak as Michael Jackson. (Jackson, whose voice is frail--who is more a mannerist than a singer--was always helped by his arrangements, because they disguised his voice.)

That's a shame.

Still, this is not a bad album.

It could have been a masterpiece if the voices were more audible.
