Album Notes & Community Reviews

Paul Weller matured into one of Britain's greatest songwriters on The Jam's critically adored third album, pivoting away from raw punk toward remarkably sophisticated, melodic power pop. 'All Mod Cons' is a fiercely energetic, intensely rhythmic, and highly conscious triumph of the Mod Revival, heavily featuring Kinks-inspired harmonies and poetic urban vignettes.
