Great sampling of Weller's offerings
I have been fortunate enough to have a British friend who introduced me to a wide variety of British artists I would have otherwise missed - Weller included. Paul Weller is for the most part unknown in America, which of course is a shame.

I think this CD is a great starter for anyone curious about Weller's music - it has a good variety of songs from loud rockers to soulful ballads.

I especially recommend this if you are a fan of blue-eyed soul - Weller is at the top of his game belting out soul.


Setting Son's finest
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. After a shamefully long hiatus I have rediscovered the splendour of this album which has been criminally neglected. 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.

Amazing!!!
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. I got into Paul Weller by listening to Oasis. 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!.


A means to an end
It's not the finest example of his work (see 'As you lean into the light' on 'Heavy Soul') but there are admittedly some classic tunes. The only reason Weller agreed to this album was as a final get out of his contract with GO! Discs. Try not jumping around to 'Changingman' or crying into your beer with 'You do something to me'. There is, however, some fairly lightweight material on this album which are by no means his best and not a clear indication of his work. This should have been called 'The Singles Collection' cos that's what it is.
