BEE GEES: SIZE ISN'T EVERYTHING
Size Isn't Everything is the Bee Gees' first album following their return to Polydor, after a three album stint with Warner Brothers. Each of the three albums with Warners saw the group develop and change their musical style. On this album, they crystallise this process and produce the most perfectly crafted set of songs of their careers. It has a much bigger, clearer sound than any album they had produced to date, with a staggering attention to detail that was several years ahead of its time. For this album, they composed the best selection of songs for a single project since 1975's Main Course, and they used their different vocal and musical styles to much better effect than they probably ever did before or since. In short, this album demonstrates why the Bee Gees are regarded as one of the world's great bands.
