In and Out of Consciousness: Greatest Hits 1990–2010 is the second

Shame", co-written by and featuring fellow Take That member Gary Barlow. The song is their first collaboration in 15 years since Williams left Take That in 1995.[1]

The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, making it Williams' ninth album to debut at number one and his first since Rudebox released in 2006.[3] It has been certified Platinum,[4] selling over 41,000 copies on its first day of release and 120,000 copies during its first week, making the album the second-fastest selling of the year in the UK.[5][6] The album topped the charts in Austria and Germany, and charted within the top five of the charts in Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland.[7]

Background information and production

Speaking about the album and working with Barlow again, Williams said: "It’s incredible to listen to the album and realise that it’s already been 20 years of making music and playing gigs. And the great thing about the album is that it’s not only a celebration of my past but also a bridge to the future. The fact that part of the future includes a name from my past makes it all the more poignant for me".[1][8]

Beside the lead single, "

Shame", the album also features a new track called "Heart and I" co-written with Barlow.[9] The track listing and cover art of the album were revealed on 13 July 2010 on Williams' official website.[9] The image for the cover was captured by photographer Julian Broad, who also worked with Williams for the Reality Killed the Video Star album cover. The cover was shot in May 2010 in Malibu, California.[9]

Promotion

Williams and Barlow performed "Shame" on 12 September 2010 at the Help for Heroes held at the Twickenham Stadium.[10] They also performed the single on Strictly Come Dancing on 2 October 2010.[11] On 8 October 2010 they gave an interview and performed on Paul O'Grady Live.[12] On 7 October 2010 Barlow and Williams performed "Shame" and "Shine" on the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge.[13] On the release date of the album in the UK, Williams gave an interview on Daybreak as well as performing "Feel" and "Shame".[14]

John Bush from AllMusic gave the album four stars out of five. He said that even in its most basic edition, the album presents "no less than 39 examples of what made Robbie Williams a fascinating millennial superstar". He described Williams as "ambitious and self-deprecating, sensitive and boorish, dynamic and introverted" and that the album "presents a much richer picture of Williams' discography". Bush concluded his review by saying that "In and Out of Consciousness certainly offers a full portrait of Robbie Williams, the greatest pop star of the '90s and 2000s that few people appeared to respect but everyone enjoyed."[22]

Sean Egan from BBC Music said that "Many of the songs are amongst the strongest chart hits of the new millennium, especially Williams’ collaborations with Guy Chambers". Egan said that "The sequencing is bizarre but has its own kind of logic, working backwards chronologically" and as "the familiar tunes go by, one is struck by the fact that Williams is both underrated [...] and overrated." He also stated that had Williams "not been sacked by Take That, he would never have been motivated to prove himself with edgy, knowing music light years beyond the boyband." Egan concluded his review by saying that "If this compilation is closing a chapter, the jury is still out on whether the next one is going to be a gripper."[23]
