PAUL WELLER "sonic kicks" cd.vinyl 2012
eleventh solo album.
a deliberate pick to see how it has fared over eight years.
hated this one with a passion when released.
although the album peaked at #1 in his homeland it wasn't a huge seller selling
less than 85,000 copies making it one of the worst sellers of his career.
too electronic in places (influenced by '70s Kraut Rock and Bowie's "low").
album was better this time round, probably enjoyed half the album.
that makes it a borderline like/dislike at this stage.
favourite has a very Blur/Damon Albarn feel to it:
"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..." - Me 2014.
