Size isn't everything  (1993)

• Chris Anderson's Review  

  When i first heard 'Paying The Price Of Love' it didn't hit me very hard. Once i'd heard it a couple of times, i liked it, and realized that it is a strong song, musically, vocally, and melodically.

  'Kiss Of Life' has Robin on lead vocals, and is another strong song in the same departments as its predocessor. 'How To Fall In Love Part1' is a let down after the first two songs, and is still a song i'm not a fan of.

  'Omega Man' with Maurice on lead vocals redeems the album. 'Haunted House' is a very original piece of work, and conjures up the image of a dark, stormy night in winter. 'For Whom The Bell Tolls', at tenth is much too late in the album's running order as far as i'm concerned, is another original piece of work. Here we have Barry in emotional falsetto on lead for the verses, and Robin in crying lead for the chorus, and brings the listener out in goose bumps. It's the start of that particular arrangement that we would see once per album from here on. Definitely the best thing on the record.

  The whole album sees three active and creative minds at work, and with songs like 'For Whom The Bell Tolls', and 'Heart Like Mine', sounds as though all three brothers have had a hand in the composing. With the latter of the two songs, once again with Barry and Robin trading off vocals, it sounds like Robin has composed the verses, and Barry the bridges, like a lot of the album.

  The album ends with 'Decadance', a re-mix of 'You Should Be Dancing', but not really as strong as the original recording.

  All in all, it's a strong album, and there's a few songs to love, but i'm always left feeling empty and as though there's something missing.
  
  

• Review by "Robuz"

When people say Size Isn't Everything is one of The Bee Gees strongest post-Fever albums, you really have to believe it. With killer songs like "Paying The Price Of Love" and "For Whom The Bell Tolls", you can see why it works. I always thought the two best records of of 1993 were Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell II and of course The Bee Gees' Size Isn't Everything. This really is my second favorite album, second only to 1989's One.

• Barry Kim's Review

This is my favorite album from the nineties. This album has a real Miami feeling, that I havent heard in another cd, since 'SPIRITS' came out.... up until I finally got a chance to buy 'HIGH CIVILIZATION'.

This is a very unique piece of work, by each of the brothers Gibb, separately, and together.

Songs like 'KISS OF LIFE', 'OMEGA MAN', 'HEART LIKE MINE', 'ABOVE AND BEYOND & 'FALLEN ANGEL'....they may be obscure.... but they are timeless pieces of work.

I give this album by the Bee Gees...5 stars. Great work guys!
