Speaking of rubbish album covers Weller looks like Quentin Crisp on his latest.101Walterton wrote: ↑12 Sep 2018, 4:06pmNew Weller album True Meanings out tomorrow to buy you time.

I've heard one song and it was horrible crooning shite. His solo career has mostly been pretty crap.101Walterton wrote: ↑12 Sep 2018, 4:06pmNew Weller album True Meanings out tomorrow to buy you time.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Fair to say the other tracks are all ‘crooning’.Heston wrote: ↑12 Sep 2018, 5:36pmI've heard one song and it was horrible crooning shite. His solo career has mostly been pretty crap.101Walterton wrote: ↑12 Sep 2018, 4:06pmNew Weller album True Meanings out tomorrow to buy you time.

Re: NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?
I'd always thought the best of Paul's solo career would make a pretty good compilation, then I started looking at his output. 14 solo albums, including one of covers, over almost three decades. 6 live albums - milking that a bit, and a bit more if you include the live one that was part of the 2cd 'Modern Classics' set, and 2cd 'At The Beeb'. 1 soundtrack - that surprised me, never heard of it and no intention of finding out unless someone convinces me it's some sort of Holy Grail.Heston wrote: ↑12 Sep 2018, 5:36pmI've heard one song and it was horrible crooning shite.

But here's the worst part. 5 compilation albums, including a 3cd set and a 4cd set which has Jam and Style Council too.
I stand by my belief that he's worth a pretty good compilation, but he hasn't half taken the piss with a pretty meagre and piss-poor output since 1990.

He was live from his home studio on Radio 2 yesterday and it was like listening to Val Doonican. "Has My Fire Really Gone Out?" Weller once asked. Yes mate, it has.dave202 wrote: ↑15 Sep 2018, 6:36amI'd always thought the best of Paul's solo career would make a pretty good compilation, then I started looking at his output. 14 solo albums, including one of covers, over almost three decades. 6 live albums - milking that a bit, and a bit more if you include the live one that was part of the 2cd 'Modern Classics' set, and 2cd 'At The Beeb'. 1 soundtrack - that surprised me, never heard of it and no intention of finding out unless someone convinces me it's some sort of Holy Grail.Heston wrote: ↑12 Sep 2018, 5:36pmI've heard one song and it was horrible crooning shite.

Re: NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?
More Jam compilations than you can mention. His past gets regurgitated at an alarming rate. Paul has said he can't afford to stop touring/releasing due to the amount of children he now has (7). That soundtrack is no holy grail but it sure is different it's mostly experimental instrumental tracks. Just 2 tracks out of the 7 sound like Paul Weller solo album fare. The lead off track is 21 mins 30 secs long.dave202 wrote: ↑15 Sep 2018, 6:36amI'd always thought the best of Paul's solo career would make a pretty good compilation, then I started looking at his output. 14 solo albums, including one of covers, over almost three decades. 6 live albums - milking that a bit, and a bit more if you include the live one that was part of the 2cd 'Modern Classics' set, and 2cd 'At The Beeb'. 1 soundtrack - that surprised me, never heard of it and no intention of finding out unless someone convinces me it's some sort of Holy Grail.Heston wrote: ↑12 Sep 2018, 5:36pmI've heard one song and it was horrible crooning shite.

Re: NEW JOE STRUMMER ANTHOLOGY?
Weller has had some great ballads along the way but they usually sound better when hidden amongst a typical Weller album. English Rose, Shadow of the Sun and Long Long Road of his last album.Heston wrote: ↑15 Sep 2018, 7:55amHe was live from his home studio on Radio 2 yesterday and it was like listening to Val Doonican.

But I can’t defend a whole album of it.
