Rating: Once again joined by former Ocean Colour Scene members Craddock and Minghella, Weller pulls out of the hat an extremely well-written, well-produced, and well-played album.
Not that I didn't expect it from that bastard Uncle Paul, but... damn, now that I think about it, I really didn't expect it. As always rich with soul influences and awesomely English, Weller gives his best in the more typically rock songs, which get under your skin from the very first listen, just like the splendid, folk-tinged All On A Misty Morning (which I discovered on my way home, exhausted, by accidentally pressing the shuffle button on my crappy car radio-mp3 player... the good stuff) or the bluesy I Wanna Make It Allright; on the contrary, he loses a bit with the piano and voice ballads... maybe it's the romanticism that depresses me, but those aren't the reason you should buy this piece of spinning plastic.
Bravo, the Modfather.

08 From the Floorboards Up (02:27)
I've got a feeling
From the floorboards up
Call it a calling
If you like that touch
Call it what you will
I really don't care too much
I've got a feeling
And I know it's right
I get it most evenings
If not every night
It sings in the air
And dances like candle light
When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
When we dance, we dance, we dance
Papa, from the floorboards up
When we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up
I get a feeling
From the walls and chairs
They tell me of the things that
Have always been there
And all that is not
Will have to go back to dust
When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
When we dance, we dance, we dance
Papa, from the floorboards up
When we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up
I've got a feeling
And I know it's right
I get it most evenings
If not every night
It sings in the air
And dances like candle light
When we play, we play, we play
Mama, from the floorboards up
When we dance, we dance, we dance
Daddy, from the floorboards up
When we sway, we sway as one
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up
From the floorboards up
10 Savages (02:58)
you're savages, he knows you are..
do you not think that god is looking down?
on you savages.. the children run, to mothers
you put bullets in their backs
ah cowards, can you not see
do you not think that love is coming down?
you have no gods, they have all disowned you,
you have no love, so you take it out on,
people's lives in progress,
that's what keeps you going when you're savages
savages, you can dress it up,
give it a name and a fancy uniform
and a flag to fly to hide behind,
can you not see the truth that's on the ground
you have no love,
it has all gone cold on you,
you never have, so you take it out on
those whose love is growing,
that's what you hate most, when you're savages
do you not see the love is coming down?
