Not A-Paul-ing

○○○●●

WELLER Weller Weller huh? I'll tell you more.
The Modfather Paul Weller's new album Wake Up The Nation shows the former Jam man isn't resting on his considerable laurels.
With a slightly warped production throughout there's trad Weller on No Tears No Cry, Beatles-esque stomps like Trees, more than a hint of Curtis Mayfield on Aim High, even an instrumental freak-out called Whatever Next.
Weller is clearly determined to progress his sound.
The problem is, with such a jigsaw of ideas here, some places it fits better than others.
