umm, idk, its a very odd album, actually my mom bought it and b/c of her ignorance she didnt really understand some of the songs that were talking about him getting high! until my brother told her. idk, its a good album, but hes not a very good influence, seriously he gets high and hes always spotted partying w/ playmates!

Okay
Okay this would've have been the perfect CD. I got this CD yesterday for my birthday and I was listening to "You're Beautiful" and then i heard, "F-----g high" When in the radio edit it is "flying high" It would have been a lot better without the swears. James Blunt, why did you ruin a perfect song?

Very Beautiful indeed, except for 1 thing...l!!
I looked forward to getting this CD since i first heard "your Beautiful" on the radio. I got it and was enjoying it but was shocked when i heard"....she could it in my face that i was f-----g high..." Thats was the only disappointment...such a beautiful song and he had to go mess it up with such a nasty, ugly word :( All the other songs on it are great. I especially find it touching that he has changed his view on war. Thumbs up James!

Superlative, Moody Album
If you're a fan of acoustic-inspired rock with poetic influences, I strongly recommend picking up Back to Bedlam.

Awesome CD
I really enjoy this cd. Yeah there are a few lyrics that dont need to be in there, but overall its a great cd. I love his song High. Hes not talking about being high on drugs, hes talking about Love. This is an awesome cd. I suggest anyone buy it.
