Blunt recounts his harrowing experiences as part of the NATO peacekeeping force in Kosovo on the closer, "No Bravery," and it's a shock to hear all of the romantic lyricism that informed Bedlam up to this point reduced to "Old men kneel and accept their fate/Wives and daughters cut and raped/A generation drenched in hate," but it's damn effective - as is the majority of this fine debut. To check how much your paper will cost, you can James Blunt Back To Bedlam (Guitar Recorded Version With TAB)James Blunt use an online calculator on their website. It's a pace that would sink some records, but Bedlam's perfectly rendered, under 40-minute run time ensures that the listener doesn't suffer from a melancholy overdose. Opening track "High" sets a determined midtempo pace that rarely wanes - it's like an acoustic version of "Drive" by the Cars with a Coldplay chorus. Predictable but effective four-chord guitar motifs are the chosen vehicle for the ex-Royal Armed Forces soldier, and when they connect ("Wiseman," "Goodbye My Lover," "You Are Beautiful"), it's like a "Dear John" letter from a lover who you know will remain a close but ultimately guarded friend. While his parched and effeminate falsetto recalls Gasoline Alley-era Rod Stewart with a healthy dose of Antony and the Johnsons, it's the late Elliott Smith who casts the largest shadow on Back to Bedlam. I’ve never been a big fan of James Blunt and while I appreciate that lots of people are, he wouldn’t be close to the top 20 otherwise, he’s just not for me.Soulful British crooner James Blunt's wistful debut infuses the listener - in order - with rainy-day hope, the wistful comfort of unattainable love, and finally, world-weary resignation. Blunt’s voice is just slightly too distinctive to make this work as a relaxing background album, something Dido and David Gray have in their favour, instead it just isn’t as easy of a listen as it should be. There’s glimmers of some talent in here, the emotion heard in Goodbye My Lover for instance, but it never quite pans out how I wanted it to. I probably complain a bit too much about ‘nice’ music, saying that it’s boring or tedious, but sometimes ‘nice’ just isn’t enough. It’s probably the best track here, the rest just plods along being ‘nice’. Things get a bit more Coldplay on Out Of My Mind, while opener High takes this to a new extreme it could easily have appeared on Parachutes.

With follow up single Goodbye My Lover being along the same lines, my hopes weren’t high to enjoy the full Back To Bedlam album. Everyone reading this knows the song, it was a radio smash that never seemed to go away. Said big hit is of course You’re Beautiful, a sickly sweet ballad that manages to sound heartfelt and creepy at the same time. The ‘soldier with the beautiful voice’ story was all you heard throughout his promo in 2005, the typical lead in to one of the millions of plays the big hit would have received on UK radio that year. It’s easy to see why people would be bored of someone like James Blunt, he’s the blueprint for a Simon Cowell ‘success story’. I’ve never managed to hide how I feel about certain artists, Blunt being one of them. Completing the boring trinity of this list, Dido and David Gray if you aren’t keeping track, we have James Blunt.
