In the City

In the City (1977) more music like this

by The Jam

On their debut, the Jam offered a good balance between the forward-looking, "destroy everything" aggression of punk with a certain reverence for '60s beat and R&B. In an era that preached attitude over musicianship, the Jam bettered the competition with good pop sense, strong melodies, and plenty of hooks that compromised none of punk's ideals or ...

Sound Affects

Sound Affects (1980) more music like this

by The Jam

Unhappy with the slicker approach of Setting Sons, the Jam got back to basics, using the direct, economic playing of All Mod Cons and "Going Underground," the simply brilliant single which preceded Sound Affects by a few months. Thematically, though, Paul Weller explored a more indirect path, leaving behind (for the most part) the story-song ...

Setting Sons

Setting Sons (1979) more music like this

by The Jam

The Jam's Setting Sons was originally planned as a concept album about three childhood friends who, upon meeting after some time apart, discover the different directions in which they've grown apart. Only about half of the songs ended up following the concept due to a rushed recording schedule, but where they do, Paul Weller vividly depicts ...

Heavy Soul

Heavy Soul (1997) more music like this

by Paul Weller

Like Stanley Road before it, Heavy Soul is more about vibe than songs. There are a few sharply written tracks here and there, but what's important is the rootsy, stripped-down atmosphere. Paul Weller's soul and R&B influences reign supreme on Heavy Soul, yet they are filtered through late-'60s psychedelia, blues-rock and prog folk, as he takes ...

Stanley Road

Stanley Road (1995) more music like this

by Paul Weller

In many ways, Stanley Road is Wild Wood -- Part Two, a continuation of the laidback, soul-inflected rock that dominated his previous albums. Named after the street where he grew up, Stanley Road could be seen as a return to Paul Weller's roots, yet his roots were in The Who and the Kinks, not in Traffic. (At this point, the sound of The Jam ...

Introducing the Style Council

Introducing the Style Council (1983) more music like this

by The Style Council

A solid EP collection of the band's initial British singles, it includes the ersatz soul of "Long Hot Summer," and the bubbling pop of "Speak Like a Child, " and "Money-Go-Round, " a fine British-funk manifesto. John Floyd, All Music Guide

The Gift

The Gift (1982) more music like this

by The Jam

As good mods, the Jam always had a healthy respect for R&B and soul -- even the first album featured the revved-up Northern soul of "Non-Stop Dancing." With The Gift, however, Paul Weller seems to have become completely absorbed in it, and more specifically, in Stax-style soul with more than a hint of psychedelia à la "Psychedelic Shack." An ...

All Mod Cons

All Mod Cons (1978) more music like this

by The Jam

The Jam regrouped and refocused for All Mod Cons, an album that marked a great leap in songwriting maturity and sense of purpose. For the first time, Paul Weller built, rather than fell back, upon his influences, carving a distinct voice all his own; he employed a story-style narrative with invented characters and vivid British imagery à la Ray ...

Cafe Bleu

Cafe Bleu (1984) more music like this

by The Style Council

Style Council's first proper album Cafe Bleu was one of their better efforts, but it indicated the group's fatal flaw -- a tendency to be too eclectic and overambitious. Amidst the lazy jazz instrumentals, many of them courtesy of Mick Talbot, Paul Weller inserted several solid soul-tinged pop songs, including "My Ever Changing Moods," "Headstart ...

Wild Wood

Wild Wood (1993) more music like this

by Paul Weller

Paul Weller deservedly regained his status as the Modfather with his second solo album, Wild Wood. Actually, the album is only tangentially related to mod, since Weller picks up on the classicism of his debut, adding heavy elements of pastoral British folk and Traffic-styled trippiness. Add to that a yearning introspection and a clean production ...

Heliocentric (2000) more music like this

by Paul Weller

Heliocentric is a lighter affair than the doggedly traditional Heavy Soul. It may be a subtle distinction, since he's using the same musical template he has since Wild Wood, plus the same producer and many of the same musicians. So, Heliocentric sounds very familiar, yet when it reaches its conclusion with the melancholy psychedelic sweep of "Love ...

Modern Classics: Greatest Hits (1998) more music like this

by Paul Weller

Wrapping up his contractual commitment to Go! Records, Paul Weller delivered Modern Classics: Greatest Hits, his first compilation of solo material, late in 1998. Modern Classics plays it safe, collecting all of his singles and adding a fine new song, "Brand New Start," which may not at first seem live up to its title, but eventually reveals ...

Catch-Flame! (2006) more music like this

by Paul Weller

Another year, another live album. Paul Weller has turned out to be as predictable as the Rolling Stones in how he follows a new set of material with a live album, following every album since Wild Wood with a live record. Because of this it's hard not to superficially see 2006's Catch-Flame! Live at the Alexandra Palace as just another live album, ...

Live Jam (1993) more music like this

by The Jam

The Jam's enduring, eternal popularity in the U.K. meant an ever-increasing number of archival releases that cropped up over the years, with Live Jam, a fine counterpart to the other official concert album, Dig the New Breed, turning up in 1993. Like that earlier effort, it draws together a slew of tracks from shows ranging from 1979 to 1982, ...

This Is the Modern World/All Mod Cons (2000) more music like this

by The Jam

Collector's Choice's two-fer of This Is the Modern World/All Mod Cons collects the Jam's energetic -- if less inspired -- follow-up to In the City and its tour de force third album onto one CD. The disc also includes the singles "News of the World" and "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight," making it a good introduction to some of the Jam's ...

The Sound of the Jam (2003) more music like this

by The Jam

If you already own the long out of print Greatest Hits set, then there's no real reason to invest in Sound of the Jam, which, predictably, repeats the majority of that program. However, for latecomers this provides an excellent overview of the output of one of Britain's most distinctive and influential new wave bands. The album's 20 tracks proceed ...

The Trip Hop Test, Vol. 1 (1994) more music like this

by Various Artists

In a surprising turn of events, the first American trip-hop compilation out of the gate turns out to be one of the best. Though it lacks some of the big hitters in the style like Massive Attack and Tricky, the tracks included are some of the best -- Skylab's "Seashell," the Chemical Brothers' "My Mercury Mouth," Portishead's remix of Paul Weller's ...

Paul Weller (1992) more music like this

by Paul Weller

Humiliated by Polydor's rejection of the final Style Council album (it remained unreleased until the 1998 box set), Paul Weller retreated from the spotlight, licked his wounds, and redefined his music. He re-emerged with the Paul Weller Movement and the surging trad rock single "Into Tomorrow," a song that may not have been a big hit, but it ...

As Is Now (2005) more music like this

by Paul Weller

If 2002's Illumination was a warm, laid-back record, Paul Weller's 2005 sequel, As Is Now -- a likeable but unremarkable covers album, Studio 150, appeared in the interim -- is its flip side, a lean, hard-hitting soulful rock & roll album. Not that Weller is returning to the sound of the Jam: he's still with the same band that he's been with since ...

Dig the New Breed (1982) more music like this

A last farewell gift from the band in the year Weller spectacularly announced his departure from it, Dig the New Breed is a sometimes rough around the edges live overview of the band's work, from small club dates in 1979 to much larger venues in 1982. Recording quality throughout is quite excellent -- it's not specified whether the band always ...

This Is the Modern World (1977) more music like this

by The Jam

As is so often the case for overnight successes, the Jam rush-recorded their sophomore effort during a hurried schedule to capitalize on the debut. This, combined with Paul Weller's various personal distractions and temporary lack of interest, led to less than satisfying results, especially in comparison to In the City.
