Ya I have no idea what I think of that Paul Weller album. I think some of the things I like about are the same reasons I disliked the animal collective album, yet aside from that single thought popping into my head, I have no idea what I mean by it. Something like the lead track, "green," I don't know how to have an opinion on that one. It's either really irritating or pretty cool, depending on whether I think the shifting channels around in my headphones is gimmicky or interesting, and whether I can look past the intro reminding me of fat boy slim. It has everything, really: stuff I like, stuff I dislike, and stuff one entirely apathetic towards. Probably the only album this year I could put in all three of those columns.
I do generally enjoy solo Weller, however I always find myself turning off his albums midway through to listen to The Jam instead.
