His second solo album, this is the epitome of mellow rock, reaching number two in the UK charts.
After years with The Jam and The Style Council, Paul Weller sublimated his roots in pastoral folk and soul, cementing his place in the British music scene with this seminal album.
This masterpiece marks the beginning of his solo career, a departure from his previous urban sensibilities and pursuing an organic feel reminiscent of Nick Drake and Traffic. The contrast between the warm organ and the thrilling guitar riffs that pop up at key moments creates a unique texture that garnered fervent respect from the Britpop scene of the time. From the dynamic energy of the hits to the contemplative tone of the title track, this is a rock album for adults that will offer new discoveries with every listen.
