    The lyrics got slightly worse from every album he made, still 'Intensive Care' is one of his most entertaining releases. Songs like "Sin Sin Sin", "Tripping" or "Advertising Space" are really cool stuff and some of his best work.

    Here, he is still the anthem addict of old, but there are softer, subtler electronic textures and a real sense of reflection. [Nov 2005, p.112]
  2. It's Robbie The Rogue's least immediate album and needs several listens to get to grips with, but Intensive Care feels like Robbie has allowed himself freedom of expression, even if he doesn't always know how best to use it.
  3. Lyrically the record is less cringe inducing than 'Escapology' but Robbie has been let off the leash for a while in this respect, and while sometimes he can be funny, he needs people to tell him when he's being trite and just downright embarrassing.
