Why 'Beautiful Noise' Remains My Favourite Neil Diamond Album

Beautiful Noise, 50 years old in 2026 - being released in 1976 - is in my view, Neil Diamond's greatest studio album, enhanced by Robbie Robertson's production, a solid, consistent collection of songs with an attention to detail for the album 'art form' from its artwork, conceptual feel to the - literal - celebration of 'beautiful noise' with its range of instruments. 00:00 Intro 01:28 The years prior to this album: Jonathan Livingston Seagull, Serenade 04:10 Background context behind Beautiful Noise 06:02 The reasons why Beautiful Noise is so special 14:58 Examining the individual tracks from this album 24:42 Summary 🎧 Let’s Talk Music Everywhere 👇 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?... 🐦 X (Twitter): https://x.com/TJTalksMusic 📸 Instagram:   / tobyjonestalksmusic   🎵 TikTok:   / tobyjonesmusic   🎙 Listen to this (and my other content) in podcast form: 🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7AO9631... 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
