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 ...

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, ...

Billy Elliot
(2000)
more music like this
by
Original Soundtrack
Like any soundtrack with aspirations of being hip, the soundtrack to the heart-warming Brit comedy-drama Billy Elliot is peppered with dialogue from the film -- a tactic that was entertaining in 1993, when Reservoir Dogs popularized it, but it had lost its charm by 2000. But, if you can ignore that dialogue and concentrate on the music, you have a ...

Live Jam

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, ...

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 ...

Days of Speed

more music like this
by
Paul Weller
Despite the unplugged boon of the '90s, Paul Weller steadfastly refused to succumb to the acoustic trend until the decade rolled over into the new millennium, and he did a solo tour shortly after the release of his fifth solo album, Heliocentric. This actually turns out to be a blessing in disguise, since Weller sounds relaxed and ready to ...

by
Paul Weller
Teenage rock & rollers often don't last. Certainly, they rarely keep performing into middle age, but Paul Weller has never been ordinary. From the outset, Weller was different -- too tense, too difficult to fit into the crowd even when he was the most popular musician in Britain, as he was when he led the Jam at the turn of the '80s. That ornery ...

Snap! [2-CD]

more music like this
by
The Jam
Released in 1983, just after Paul Weller disbanded the band at the peak of their popularity, Snap! was the first greatest-hits album from the Jam. Many other comps would follow over the years but none would better this, especially in its original incarnation as a 29-track double-LP. It would later be trimmed by eight songs so it could fit on a ...

by
The Jam
There certainly is no shortage of Jam anthologies on the market to appease the fan who needs everything (a massive five-CD box set) and the listener just wanting the greatest hits and nothing more (see Snap! for the most thorough portrait of the Jam's legacy). Gold falls in between the two poles by supplying one disc filled with 26 of their finest ...

Fire & Skill: Songs of the Jam accomplishes what few compilations manage to pull off -- capturing the spirit of the band that it pays tribute to. From the tender boyish vulnerability shown, ironically, by Everything but the Girl's Tracey Thorn on "English Rose" to the bare-bones punk energy of Reef's "That's Entertainment," this collection shows ...

20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: Best of Brit Pop

Various Artists
One of the most entertaining -- and yet incomplete -- entries in the 20th Century Masters series, 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection: Best of Brit Pop features ten songs that circle the golden age of mid-'90s Brit-pop. Out of the entire track listing, Suede's "Animal Nitrate" and Elastica's "Stutter" are the only songs that really ...

The Very Best of the Jam is the third, and complete collection of the Jam's 21 hit singles. Containing an almost identical track list as Greatest Hits and Snap, this 1997 release chronologically charts Paul Weller, Rick Buckler, and Bruce Foxton's development from mod revivalists, to leftist new romantics, to '60s R&B fanatics, to Brit-pop ...

Hit Parade [Single Disc]

Paul Weller
If the single disc of Hit Parade doesn't have the depth of its accompanying box set -- at a quarter of the length, how could it? -- it nevertheless has the breadth, offering a sampler of Paul Weller's ever-changing moods, from the Jam to his solo career. And that word, "sampler," is key here: sure, this isn't a complete set of A-sides, the way the ...

Volume 4 of Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's was for the new wave diehards -- Volume 5 is for the doubters. This is the installment for neophytes, or for the doubters who don't believe that new wave was a spectacular singles era. That doesn't mean that everything here is terrific, or every listener will like everything here, but it ...

Beat Surrender [Collection]

by
The Jam
Just like Wasteland, the odd collection which preceded it by a year, Beat Surrender combines a couple of hits with poorly chosen album cuts for an incoherent and certainly far from comprehensive package. The Jam had a lot of great album tracks that were unfairly overshadowed by the singles, but The Jam Collection (released in 1996) offers better ...

Inexplicably, Universal saw fit to re-release a 20th Century Masters survey of the Jam a mere 18 months or so after its original release. Along with new photography, there's also a slight modification in the track listing, which is sadly underwhelming and fails to paint a true portrait of the diverse songwriting that the Jam consistently had over ...

Arguably one of the most important bands to emerge from the initial punk rock explosion of the U.K., the Jam amassed a body of work few of their peers could contest with in terms of high quality and quantity. This compilation, while no means definitive, is a summation of some of the highest points in their career. It's a sensible introduction ...

As Good as It Gets: The Best of Gene compiles tracks off the three studio albums Brit-rock band Gene released starting with their stellar 1995 debut, Olympian, and ending with 1999's Revelations. As such, it works nicely as a roundup of the best of what they put out before 2002's Libertine -- largely considered a return to form after an extended ...
