Free Music Review: Does it get any better?!?!?!
Hit: 5 Stars
Paul Weller's self titled debut album brought us smooth rhythms, funky bass, Rickenbacker guitar driven songs, and a smooth voice that gave us a nice jazz/funk/rock/soul album. Kiss it goodbye. You gotta hand it to Paul, you never know what he's gonna do next. "Wild Wood", a soaring masterpiece, is kicked off with the head down rocker, "Sunflower", the album's first single. It's a wistful thumping rock song that is rich in guitar hooks. Next Paul tackles religion in the captivating "Can You Heal Us Holy Man?" in which Paul puts a stellar performance, but you're left wondering if Al Green had done it before. Then the man breaks out the acoustic guitar, the soul of this album. Paul makes such use of the acoustic guitar and his cigarette worn voice that you wonder if he's really of this planet. Far too good to be, isn't he? He breaks your heart in the beautiful "All the Pictures on the Wall?", and astounds you with "Country" and "Foot of the Mountain". What's the matter, too much soft stuff? Alright, try the rocking "The Weaver", or the stomping "5th Season." He soars in majestic beauty on "Shadow of the Sun", professes faith and determination in "Has My Fire Really Gone Out?", and churns out a gorgeous ballad with "Moon On Your Pyjamas," which sings of innocence and hope ("I hope the world will heal itself, and warm our souls along with it, so that you get the chance to say that you have seen a brighter day"). The apex however, is the closer, "Hung Up". A song, which Oasis' Noel Gallagher claims to be the best song of the 90s thus far. It's a gorgeous acoustic ballad that builds to a full blown full band extravaganza and recedes within about 3 minutes. It's the perfect closing to a perfect album. This album is spotless, and a vital addition to anyone's CD collection. THIS is what Weller fans have meant by talking about his genius all these years......
Wild Wood Poster
Japanese only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD - playable on all CD players) paper sleeve pressing. Universal. 2008.Nothing prepared fans for quite such a return to form from Paul Weller. The mood was autobiographical, most notably on "Has My Fire Really Gone Out" and on the title track--both of which dealt with the writer's block that plagued Weller after the Style Council. And yet Wild Wood is anything but morose. Flutes and sun-dazed guitars create pastoral moods. "Shadow of the Sun" takes stock of youthful idealism and finds wisdom of years, and "Sunflower" is a superlative burst of psychedelic power pop. But it's the instrumental passages and interconnecting refrains that truly reveal their author's attention to detail and give Wild Wood an edge over the rest of his solo material. --Peter Paphides
