'Where' They've Been

"We're not a pop group that falls out of fashion and comes back a gain -- we're a songwriting team," says the Bee Gees' Barry Gibb of the brotherly group's new album, "This Is Where I Came In" (Polydor), which debuted at No. 4 on the Eurochart Top 100 Albums survey earlier this month. The group remains one of the most enduring in popular music, having placed 43 singles (including nine No. 1s) and 28 albums on the Billboard charts over the past four decades.

The new album speaks to every strength the Bee Gees have: love songs, danceable cuts, narrative classics, folk-ro ck ballads, and rock-pop anthems. "This album for us is variety," Barry Gibb says." "We just thought, 'How many different kinds of songs can we do?' And then we gave each other the space to go away individually and come up with things ourselves -- which w e used to do without any feelings of malice. So we did four songs together, and three or four each, and chose from them. It's our definitive
album of our collaborations and their diversity."
