Paul Weller – Wake Up The Nation
A collection of ludicrously fresh-sounding, short & sharp material, ‘Wake Up The Nation’ confirms that Paul Weller is in the midst of a seriously impressive rebirth. Sounding every bit as urgent & angry as he was in his days with The Jam, the anthemic moments are brilliantly sequenced among esoteric oddities. The songs are homely & familiar, but Weller’s delivery (he made up many of the lyrics on the spot) is gloriously imperfect, lending a remarkably youthful & frankly often drunk-sounding edge to proceedings. Its relentless vigour is exhausting, but within its grimy kaleidoscope Weller strikes gold all over again with lyrical acuteness and tunes, pushing his blend of classic British Beat, Mod, Funk & R&B.
