I didn't love it...but I also don't know if it was worth a full page rant of criticism.

I will talk shit about what appears to be a George Michael/Fourplay collab all I want

 

[Nee Lewman]

Every review of this album I’ve read is basically like IT SUCKS but these two songs…. Maybe it belongs on a 1001 songs you need to hear before you die list.

My initial thought was actually that it sounded like a watered down George Michael. Not as good as the Robbie Williams album.

Oh man...I just got to the rapping. 1/5.

 

[jamieanderson1968]

I their defence, ANY record that had rapping on it prior to 1995 that was not a hip hop album is absolutely ruined by it.

It was the moment it crossed the line from well this is adult contemporary music and I don’t like and went to what circle of hell am I in?

Fun fact #2 - Paul Weller is SUPER potent, fathering 10 children now I think. So ladies, don’t stand too close to the Mod Father or you might get pregnant.

So you're saying he's the Nick Cannon of British sophisti-pop?

Bro, you wanna blow your mind a bit. Look up how much money that guy makes. I was reading an article about him in the LA Times where he said he could afford all them kids because he makes around $100M a year. He hosts and produces a lot stuff.

he’s probably a C-Lister bordering on B. He’s a quantity over quality kinda star.

Drumline alone puts him in W-list status.

I mean B list is minor film star. From a google reality tv star doing every tv show going before they disappear is solidly z.

I mean I dig Prefab Sprout and Everything But the Girl which showed up in the wiki. This is like a Barry Manilow album so far and I’m not sure I can get through it tonight.

Pretty sure Tracey Thorn sings on one of the songs on this album. Ben Watt plays on it too.
