Description: After making his name with the Jam--at least in England, where their post-Kinks, Brit-centric lyrics; mod appeal; and blend of punk and soul sounds made them stars--and then nearly losing it with the Style Council, Paul Weller reemerged in 1992 with a self-titled album. Since then he's released four studio albums (and one live set, the British import Live Wood); Modern Classics is a democratic collection, choosing three tracks from Paul Weller, four tracks from each of the rest, and adding one new single, "Brand New Start," for good measure. There's not a loser in the lot, but the remarkable thing to note here is the coherence of this collection: Weller's mature rock and love of classic soul has resulted in a sound that's remained remarkably consistent over the course of the 1990s. There's plenty more that could've been included--his cover of "Sexy Sadie" and the touching "Has My Fire Really Gone Out?" just for starters--which simply means there are plenty of reasons to mine his catalog after Modern Classics whets your appetite. --Randy Silver

Reviews:

Amazing!!!

I got into Paul Weller by listening to Oasis. I noticed that he played lead guitar in 'Champagne Supernova' and I also heard Noel Gallagher talking about Paul Weller, so I decided to buy this cd and see how it was. The first time I listened to the cd I loved it. It doesn't sound like Oasis, but it is very good. Some of my favorites on the cd are: Out Of The Sinking, Sunflower, You Do Something To Me, Brand New Start, Broken Stones, and the mellow Wild Wood. Now I want to go out and buy the rest of his cds! It's a shame Paul Weller isn't big here in the States. Music like this deserves to be recognized all around the world! I definitely recommend this wonderful masterpiece!

Setting Son's finest

After a shamefully long hiatus I have rediscovered the splendour of this album which has been criminally neglected. In all of his guises with the Jam, Style Council and on his tod, Woking's finest Setting Son has cemented himself in the pantheon of great British singer/songsmiths of his or any other generation. If you haven't got this CD by now then you must have had taste-bypass surgery. If Wild Wood, You Do Something To Me and...well, every other track doesn't raise the hairs on the back of your neck and float your boat, I suggest checking for a pulse. Buy it. Yesterday.
