Modern Life Is Robbie.
After ten long years without a (non-soundtrack, Christmas, or re-recording compilation) Robbie Williams album, Robbie surprise releases BRITPOP, his thirteenth studio album. But is BRITPOP a BRITFLOP?
Featuring a track from the perspective of Morrissey's obsessive stalker, an unnoticeable Chris Martin cameo, and some of Robbie's most inscrutable lyrics yet, BRITPOP is undeniably an album that lasts for 38 minutes and 13 seconds.
Does the album have anything to do with the Britpop movement? How does Robbie feel about the box-office disappointment of his monkey movie Better Man? Why was Robbie recently on the red carpet with Kiefer Sutherland? The Robbie Hole gang solemnly exhume the answers to all these questions and more in this episode right here, this one.
The boys also take a glance at Netflix's three-part Take That documentary, before some other stuff happens and then the episode ends, bye!
