This is such a snap shot of late 70's English life. Weller's story telling is backed up by a very tight band. Song after song - it sounds like a Best Of.

Not listened to an album by The Jam all the way through before, as far as I know. I know the singles. Some I love, some I like. I tend to prefer the later, more soul-tinged stuff. I didn’t mind this but I found Weller’s voice a bit same-y after a while, and the constant bass/drums/guitar/vocals configuration runs out of steam for me after a while. The singles still sound great and Weller is without doubt a great lyricist, but I didn’t hear any undiscovered gems in the unknown (to me) album tracks.
