Beautiful Noise, Diamond's most overtly rock album, perhaps owes more to Elton's flash than Dylan's rough edges. Still, its recollections of New York City in the Brill Building days couple with some forceful studio pop (produced by Robbie Robertson, who would later invite Diamond to appear at The Last Waltz concert) for a generally successful concept album. One of Diamond's best mid-'70s singles, "Do You Know What I Mean," is included. --Rickey Wright

 What A Beatiful Noise! September 5, 2000
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
On this CD, Neil Diamond hooks up with The Band's Robbie Robertson, who produced this melodic and sentimental array of compositions. Here, the most ardent ND fan will find heartwarming ballads (If You Know What I Mean, Home Is A Wounded Heart, Lady-Oh), good-time standards (Stargazer, the title track, Jungletime) and the feel-good "Don't Think...Feel". Robertson also contributes musically here, playing guitar on songs like the equally touching "Dry Your Eyes". Robertson's "The Band" mates (Garth Hudson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel) also perform on this CD as well, which gives the songs here diverse arrangements of musical styles. All fans of either ND or The Band should add this CD to their collections. "Check it out!"

As most of you who have read my reviews know I am a big
Neil Diamond fan.(in fact its the only thing my EX sister in law and I ever agreed on). "Beautiful noise" is one of the best!
My favorite cut is "Dry your eyes"! According to a recent interview with the man, the title came from one of his daughters. Well worth a listen!
Classic Neil January 28, 2000

I have loved his music ever since I could remember, but this is the album that sealed it for me when I was eleven. This album is a wonderful blend of pop, rock, and ballads. "If You Know What I mean" and "Signs" are provoking ballads, and "Home Is A Wounded Heart" still stands as one of Neil's most beautiful songs. Uptempo songs include the rough-edged "Jungletime", the moody "Street Life", and the ever-charming "Don't Think, Feel." However, the best track is the title song-an incredible fusion of synthesized and acoustic instruments, and a progressive feel guaranteed to keep lifting you higher as the song moves on. There really is not a weak song on this album, and I would tell you if there was because nobody knows Neil's music like I do.
A musical smorgasboard, that, for the most part, works June 19, 2000

Neil's last 'concept' album features musical arrangements that range from quasi hard-rock (Jungletime) to power ballads (If You Know What I Mean) to popish New Orleans jazz (Stargazer) and more. That's too much for one album, yet I enjoy most of it and appreciate the man's last gasp at doing something truly artistic. Sadly, everything that came after has been soulless dreck.
One of my favorites albums for over twenty years now! November 14, 1998

This is an absolute classic. It is a masterpiece of American pop music that is a must in any collection. You'll listen to it over and over. My vinyl long since wore out. It was one of the first albums I looked for when CD arrived!
