Synopsis

Product Description

After an unparalleled career, characterized by constant musical experimentation, we should be used to Paul Weller's relentless desire to chop and change his sound. But after the triumphant, Brit Award-bagging success of 22 Dreams (his third solo number one in the UK), his new album Wake Up the Nation sees one of rock's most iconic songwriters expand and evolve once more. A departure stylistically from the more pastoral sounds of his last album, Wake Up is lean, mean and as uncompromisingly focused as its maker. It also brings Paul Weller full circle: twenty-eight years on from The Jam's split, two tracks feature the former bassist Bruce Foxton. The album also sees contributions from My Bloody Valentine guitar alchemist Kevin Shields, ELO's Bev Bevan and legendary session drummer Clem Cattini.

CD Reviews

Hard to listen to this one...

Paul Harris | San Diego, CA | 08/16/2010

(2 out of 5 stars)

"I have been a huge fan of Paul Weller since the moment I heard the song "Clues" playing over the speakers at Tower Records (back in 1992), when I bought the CD immediatly and have purchased every new Weller release since. That being said, I am a bit dissapointed with "Wake Up The Nation". Maybe I just haven't put it on at the right time or with the right mood but the album just seems unlistenable to me. Of the 16 tracks on the disc, I only found 2 that I can even listen to ("7&3 Is The Strikers Name" and "Two Fat Ladies"). I do respect Paul Weller's ability to stay fresh and continue to cover new musical ground consistantly but when I put on a cd, it's nice to actually be able to enjoy listening to it!"

Another Top Notch Release from The Modfather!

"Weller has been on a roll lately (Illumination, As is Now, 22 Dreams..) and now Wake Up the Nation. Things are a edgier on this release than 22 Dreams but it retains a sense of experimentation that it's predecessor had in it's pastoral, psyche, soul sounds. It's a busy mix but it works. Wake Up the Nation is a winner for sure."
