Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Jam always were a mess of contradictions: Originally lumped in with the punk scene, they wore suits and showed an appreciation for American R&B; as mods, they had style a-plenty but had far more substance than their peers. On Fire & Skill, some very interesting, accomplished artists unleash their own contradiction: They pay tribute to an incredibly vital band by turning the songs into tripe. The Beastie Boys (together with Cibo Matto's Miho Hatori) are at their muzak-ical worst on "Start!", Everything But The Girl make "English Rose" sound like a sub-par offering from their own Idlewild and Ben Harper sounds timid and by-the-numbers on "This Modern World". There are a few good moments--Liam Gallagher and Steve Craddock give "Carnation" a trippy, Stone Roses feel; Gene don't mess around a bit with a faithful take on "A Town Called Malice" and Buffalo Tom's "Going Underground", with its deliberate march of a beat, is new and interesting--but they're few and far between. The Jam--and your stereo--deserve better. --Randy Silver

This Cd is the don, its amazing how jam songs have been interpreted by current artists in such a variety of ways, like Buffalo Toms incredible heartfelt cover of going underground and the beaties boys eccentric take on funky ass start. Not for everyone, but real music fans will be pleasently suprised at a covers album that works on so many levels.

I personally feel the album itself is largely forgetful.The liam/Craddock opening is a promising start but goes down hill until Noel Gallagher's quality take on 'To be someone' which seems to come straight from the heart,
But stick around for the hidden track after that as Paul Weller's 'No one in the world' is worth the small money you should pay for this album.
