Now comes the hard part. Now they face the challenge of making it great. Virtually everything I'd like to see the Gentlemen improve for the next album is a matter of fine-tuning. Every score I gave was a notch lower than I wanted to give, because some fixable flaw distracted me. Often, it was an apparent lack of perfectionism in the studio.
Several soloists strain or go out of tune on notes that they nail elsewhere in the same song.
I know it's expensive, but singers this talented deserve as many takes as they need to get it just right. Traditionalism is no friend to the Gentlemen when it comes to repertoire, though. On the other hand, the Gentlemen do a good job with each one, so purchasers with unjaded ears probably won't mind. The Gentlemen have gone the extra mile on Bizarro World . While there are no major mistakes, no consistent tuning problems or the like, there are also no moments of sheer excitement.
