Customer Reviews

As close to perfection as it gets
If you want perfectly crafted songs, Justin is still a man you can go to. This is a gem on an album and it deserves to be heard. The melodies are achingly beautiful and the lyrics are both tender and true. The cynical edge remains on songs like 'Something in that Mess' and the wonderfully dark 'Where Did I go?'. Out of My Control is simply a perfect pop song and 'Gold Dust' will go around your head for days. The album ends on the touchingly defiant 'No Surrender', which has us reflecting on the need to keep stocking up the fridge and why we would need personal goal shoppers- some brilliant lines in this rant of a song. Best of all though is the heart wrenching moment at the end of 'What is love for?. Buy this album, you won't be disapponted. Every song hits home, line by line; heartache, loss and what it is like to really live with someone by your side in this world or else cope without them. What else is there?

Where did it all go Justin ?

Dels work was real class
This is just crass.
C'mon Justin you KNOW this just doesn't deserve your name

After a break, the songmaster returns
Well, having waited for what the erstwhile Mr Currie was going to do after the end of Del Amitri, I have to say this solo album is unsurprisingly good. There aren't many songwriters around who are so unabashedly willing to write about human emotion, sometimes self-deprecating as well. It is a refreshing album that shows that the heart both bleeds and jumps for joy, and the lyrical twists are very much up to the usual standards we have come to expect from Justin. You have to admire his ability to write so openly about love and relationships (real or fictional), and the melodic nature of this piece of work will no doubt stand the test of time, and may be held up in the future as his most potent work.
