Better than the first album - By: N. Watts, 13 Aug 2008 
This album is twice as good as his previous effort & I have therefore given it two stars. His voice is still annoying though. Maybe someone should suggest to him (nicely) he does an instrumental album. Yikes..
Didn't like 'Beautiful' but this is so beautiful written and performed - By: J Milton, 25 May 2008 
I have to admit that from the first time I heard James Blunt first hit (played endlessly & everywhere), I was put off listening to any of his material. I heard '1973' one day on the radio & loved it, then the next single - eventually I had the chance to hear the whole album & it is up there with the very best. I am not sure why James Blunt gets dismissed as a bit of a light weight, but he does. Its a bit like David Gray, you look at him & cannot believe what he can conjure up. Every track on this album is perfect & will hook you from the first play. The songs seem to be deeply personal & you imagine. I am writing this review to exercise my guilt over how I dismissed JB after that initial single!
don't alf get on my nerves...... - By: wysiwy-f-g, 13 May 2008 
...I've noticed that a couple of the 1 star reviwers have only ever reviewed this album. Obvioulsy got their own personal agenda & haven't listened to the music anyway, so I'm discounting them (perhaps they're not getting the same amount of "notches on bed post" action as soldier Blunt, eh?;)
I didn't enjoy it as much as his first stuff, & a few listens hasn't changed that.
Although "carry me home" is a song I blubbed at.With lyrics "I'm watching you breath now - for the last time.." which appears to be a song of someones dying moments,in action maybe? Heart moving, I would say...
"I really want you" "same mistake" & "shine on" stand out to me also. All over worth listening to? Of course!
If you liked Back to Bedlam, then you'll love this too! - By: K. Williams, 03 Feb 2008 Back to Bedlam was such a fantastic album which did really well so All the Lost Souls is bound to be over-critiqued. I've read some iffy reviews on sites & I personally think it's fashionable to slate James Blunt because of who he is (i.e. posh & well-spoken) rather than actually listening to his music, which is a shame because the UK should be proud that we've got an exceptional singer-songwriter again who manages to put emotion & feeling into what he sings. Anyway, I think that All the Lost Souls is a well-written & well produced album with some great songs such as Carry You Home & I Really Want You. I am a big fan of both albums & would say that if you liked Back to Bedlam, then you'll love this.
James Blunt - All the Lost Souls - By: Ms. A. C. Edwards, 30 Jan 2008 I didnt think I could love a second album as much as I love Back to Bedlam, but he did it again. A brilliant album, so soulful & sensitive, & will have your emotions soaring. (If you see him live you will feel what a passionate singer/song-writer he really is.) This album is worth every penny!
