Track highlights: 2. "The Attic" - 6. "That Dangerous Age" - 8. "Dragonfly"
11th studio album by Paul Weller, again with producer Simon Dine is a bit of a new turning point. This is his first album with an element of electronic. Sometimes the blend of pop soul and electro pop / indietronica works fine or OK, as on "The Attic", and on "That Dangerous Age", and "Dragonfly", but at other times it falls flat like on "Kling I Klang", and "Sleep of the Serene". The album sold well, reaching #1 on the UK album charts list, but to me this is no less than his least appealing and least successful solo album to date.
