Vinyl Classics reissue of this 1976 album produced by The Band's Robbie Robertson comes as a vinyl look-a-like CD that's packaged in a die-cut see-through slipcase. 11 tracks. Sony.
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

Beautiful Noise:
This is an album I have to listen to over and over. It is Neil's best!
Never boring:
No matter what he sings, Neil Diamond never fails to please. I play this CD and before long, my body is swaying and toes are tapping to the beat. Some lyrics upbeat, others touching the heart. His music is timeless, just as appropriate today as it was thirty years ago.
Jungle time,Rumble time,Tumble time:
Beautiful Noise is Neil's very rockin' tribute to his hometown.While this album has some beautiful slow songs,it is the rockers
that I most enjoy.Songs like "Jungletime" and "Street Life" are almost-punk songs about NYC's nightlife.Neil's macho delivery matches the cool guitar riffs and the songs subject matters perfectly. The album has many diverse styles-"Stargazer" sounds like it was written in the 1930's."Dont Think Feel" and "Surviving the Life" have a gospel sing-along flavor."If You Know... more info
