Robbie hasn't troubled the charts for a while. Has he gone into semi-retirement?

His last album flopped, so he's probably taking a break and then will try and come back with something big.

It's only been two years. Most artists have at least a 2 year gap between albums

Despite the horrible lead single the album is suprisingly brilliant

Maybe he's got writer's block. In that the record company have blocked the writers from visiting him.

How funny that this thread was started today.
His manager was on Radio 1 this morning.
From DS -
Robbie Williams is to release a new album in 2009, according to his manager Tim Clark.
The popstar had gone on strike at the start of the year due to his unhappiness with the new owners of his record company EMI.
However, Clark confirmed to Newsbeat that Williams's strike is now over and a new record is forthcoming: "I would certainly hope that a new album will be coming next year. There are never any guarantees but that's what we would hope."
Clark said that the singer is currently hard at work writing new material: "I was with Robbie last week. He was at home and he was writing songs and he played some of them to us.
"He's in very fine spirits, in very fine form and I think what he's doing sounds really wonderful."
Clark added that rumours of Williams writing an album inspired by his interest in the extra-terrestrial were "exaggerated in the press, as if that is anything new".

Here we are, from BBC.
Robbie Williams' 'album strike' is over, according to his manager.
In January, Tim Clark said the singer wouldn't deliver a new record to EMI because he wasn't happy with the company's new owners.
But he's now told Newsbeat that Robbie is hard at work on a new album and is hopeful it could be released in 2009.
He said: "I would certainly hope that a new album will be coming next year. There are never any guarantees but that's what we would hope."
Earlier this year, Tim Clarke was quoted as saying "we have no idea how EMI will market and promote the album".
Many people took that to mean that Robbie Williams was on strike.
But Tim Clark says the singer hasn't stepped back from music and is gearing up for a new album.
He said: "He's been writing and we heard some wonderful stuff.
"I was with Robbie last week. He was at home and he was writing songs and he played some of them to us."
Tim says Robbie is on good form.
"He's in very fine spirits, in very fine form and I think what he's doing sounds really wonderful," he said.
As for the subject of the album, there have been claims Robbie Williams was working on an alien-themed record due to an interest in UFOs.
But Tim Clark says that's rubbish.
He said: "It's been pretty much exaggerated in the press, as if that is anything new."
