Paul Weller's Greatest album. October 28, 2009
Mr. J. Reynolds (UK)
14 out of 17 found this review helpful
Before all the buddying up with the dubious talents of the Gallagher brothers and members of the much lauded Ocean Colour Scene and their pale imitation of the mod and mod influenced bands of the 1960s there was a different Paul Weller.After the disaster of the last Style Council album(a Chicago house influenced "effort" called A new decade in modernism)in which Weller claimed Chicago house for a new generation of mods,a failed experiment which didn't see release till a decade after it was recorded,came this.
br /
br / Weller had entered into fatherhood,loss of musical direction and more worryingly-writer's block then a short spell as the leader of the Paul Weller Movement .After a short spell of this he returned to the music which originally inspired him in his teenage years,the soul and funk of the 60's and 70's and bands like The Small Faces and The Action interspersed with the new influences of with the up and coming Acid jazz scene.So what about the songs?
br /
br / The album starts with the delicious "Uh Huh oh Yeh",a fantastic Small Faces soul stomper with some flashes of hip hop in the instrumental breaks.a great opener by anyone's standards.Moving swiftly onto "I didn't mean to hurt you",a lovely ballad recalling the influence of Curtis Mayfield and with some fantastic soul stirring lyrics and some of Weller's finest singing to date.The album continues in this vain for the remainder of side one(if you had the old tape or vinyl) of the album except for the precurser to the "Wild Wood" phase Weller-"Bull Rush"-one of the finest songs Weller has ever written,a timeless classic and even displays a nod to The Who's "magic bus"in the outro.The beautiful "Above the clouds"closes side one with it's peaceful atmosphere and "What's going On" Marvin Gaye era song craft.Side 2 opens with "clues"a Traffic influenced jazz-rocker with some exemplary playing from Weller and his band into "amongst Butterflies" with it's great lyrics and vivid imagery contained within.great melody too.As for the rest of the tunes...have a listen for yourself...
br /
br / Production wise this is Weller's most crisp,clear and fully realized album,Weller's voice is at it's most soulful and smoothest it would ever be whilst still retaining the gruff edge of old ,his guitar playing is at it's most inventive and playful with some of the most unusual Weller would ever employ and it's most technical for those interested in that sort of thing and songwriting wise this is a Weller revitalized and focussed on the job at hand.For me this is the last breath of the young Paul Weller before he would reach the more mature territory of the "Wild Wood"album and the "Stanley Road" era which for me was a mixed and patchy affair and i wish those oasis/OCS boys had stayed away from him and steal the man'ds credibility and soften the sharp focuss of his first two solo efforts.His best album,if only the reviews at the time of it's release had reflected that.Weller's best album...give it a spin,it won't let you down!

I had not listened to the album entitled Paul Weller for some time but when I heard he was releasing it again with demos and B sides I decided that I'd invest my hard earned!! And am I delighted I did :). The demos disc is absolutley fantastic and the notes inside superb. I haven't stopped listening to it and would say that if you are humming and harring about buying it, just do it, you will not be disappointed.

Bluepaul (Solihull, England)
This is his first solo album after loosing his way a bit following the decline of The Style Council.
br /What a return to form. I loved it from first play and still love it today. This edition has an extra CD of demo's etc which only help to add to the enjoyment of the Master.
br /This album is a must if you don't already have it ( WHY !)
