Album Notes & Community Reviews
Paul Weller synthesized the sharp aggression of punk rock with the rhythmic basslines of early post-punk and the melodic genius of The Beatles on The Jam's fifth album. 'Sound Affects' is a remarkably tight, fiercely energetic, and politically conscious masterclass in British new wave, loaded with socially observant, bittersweet urban poetry.
