    Admittedly, I liked the first James Blunt song, and when I first heard it I wanted to know who it was by. It had some really heartfelt lyrics, and Blunt had a rather edgy yet smooth sounding voice.

    However, since I have listened to the other songs on the Back to Bedlam: Repackaged album, I feel let down by what I thought would be an excellent album.
    All his songs sound the same, and his voice starts to grate after a while, and correct me if I'm wrong, but Blunt seems to me like he could do with a fish slap and a strong Brandy drink. Cheer up James! I'm sure the album would be a lot more cheerful, and I might enjoy if you did. Whereas at the moment, it has the capacity to, what's the word "suck my will to live?!"

    I got James Blunt's Back to Bedlam: Repackaged CD not long ago, and I haven't been able to stop listening to it. It is one of the best albums I have heard in a while. Another good song by James Blunt is Where Is My Mind. This is what I have been playing on my iPod for the last week or two, and it hasn't begun to get old. Buy it!

    James Blunt's Back to Bedlam album is amazing!
    I never get tired of listening to `You're Beautiful` or `Goodbye My Lover`.
    But the thing James Blunt needs credit for on his album is the lyrics.
    Lyrics should make you laugh, cry and understand, and James Blunt has managed to pass that with flying colours.
    A Songwriting genius!

    James Blunt's Back to Bedlam album is a collection of lamentably simple, uninventive, insipid, predictable and endlessly boring tracks with redundant thematics, vocal stylings and instrumentation; all drawn together by an overbearing schmaltz factor. Probably one of the worst albums of all time.

    Oh lord, please rid me of the horrible plague of the bland, MOR singer-songrwiter that is currently plaguing the British charts. Why lord, oh why? Why must we be subjected to these appalling individuals such as Mr. Blunt who are "credible" because they can play the piano or the guitar and write sappy love songs and "serious" lyrics about "serious" subjects?

    James Blunt is a songwriter-by-numbers who sounds pretty much identical to David Grey, Damien Rice, Daniel Powter and every other bland ...

    Back To Bedlam: Repackaged comes across to me as a story of drugs, love, loss of loved ones.
    There are clever lyrics refering to 3 wise men = 3 wise monkeys, monkey on my shoulder - american slang for drug addict, reference to Dorian Gray [reasearch that urself], so i feel theres a lot of stuff not blatantly stated.

    It's the best album I have heard in years.

    On the James Blunt album, Back To Bedlam: Repackaged; Tears and Rain stood out for me. It is a song which I fear will be badly recited by many karaoke bars up and down the country. Goodbye my lover is a song I feel we can all relate to, yet could not have possibly put it into better words, than what Mr Blunt has achieved here. Each song evokes different emotions every 5 minutes. Happy, sad, positive and angry.

    It is genius, and I hope it is not a one off album.

    Every song on Back to Bedlam evokes an emotion, be it happiness, sadness, or sheer joy. From the uplifting 'High' to the heart-wrenching 'No Bravery' I can honestly say that this is the best album I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.

    A Masterpiece!

    I think the album is great. Lots of lovely soulful songs, lyrics and tunes. I think he will grow into a very successful artist.

    James Blunt, Back To Bedlam: Repackaged is the best album I have bought in a long while. James Blunt's voice is very unique and is so easy to listen to. Each track is very different and full of emotion. My favourite track is Goodby My Lover, which is so sad, but beautifully written.

    A superb album - a real must have!
