Ironic That It's Called "Life In A Tin Can"!

This album is perhaps their weakest because it seems like it has no direction! One source called this album "songs filled with sensitive ballads". "I Saw A New Morning" is in the box set which will save most people from buying this album. Like "Tralfagar", I won't say "Don't buy this album" because you may like it. However, they had better albums than this!

Pop the Tab on the Can, This Album Has Plenty of Life!!!

In the long list of forgotten, overlooked, disgarded albums is this album from 1973. It seems that around this time in the Early
70's every older artist or group was in a period of transition, but this really wasn't the case at all, the bottom line is that record companies didn't promote the albums or people themselves
temporarily forgot about this artists or group and went in other
area's of music. Other artists such as Elvis, Orbison, Every Brothers, Beach Boys, just to name a few were at a all time low
in record sales, in all these cases the music was good as always, but lack of record label promotion and lack of interest from the record buying public at this time, the records were commercial flops. As far as this album is concerned, the title track "Saw a Brand New Morning" seems to be full of life and a Ideal lead off track for the album, but the ballads follow. One of the finer ballads on the album is "Living in Chicago" This album contains only 8 songs, but they are good and just important as any in the Bee Gee catalogue. Many people consider this the weakest album by the Bee Gees, in terms of hit singles, none, and in sales, I suppose it is, but NOT in terms of QUALITY, It ranks with their BEST!!!!

Short, but ok

Other than "While I Play", most of the songs on this album are aight. The hit song "Saw A New Morning" is without a topic and too plain. The other extremely minor "I Don't Wanna Be The One" is fun to hear. "My Life Has Been A Song" is the only other good song on this cd. Barry's parts are great and the words in the song are very different than their usual routined words. "Come Home Johnnie Bridie" is weird, but somewhat catchy. Especially that chorus. "Living In Chicago" is way too long for no reason, just like the earlier Odessa. "Method To My Madness" sounds like a throw-in. They really didn't spend time on that song for sure. "South Dakota Morning" is boring. No melodies, no good voices, and boring words. But overall, not a horrible cd and put it together its a pretty good cd. Not a must have though.
