Album Notes & Community Reviews

The ninth solo album from the legendary Jam and Style Council frontman is an incredibly ambitious, sprawling double LP. Throwing off all stylistic constraints, the record wildly jumps between blue-eyed soul, avant-garde spoken word, psychedelic rock, and jazz-funk, featuring collaborations with Noel Gallagher and Graham Coxon. It was highly acclaimed as a wildly revitalized, late-career triumph that debuted at number one in the UK.
