Product Description

Product Description
Paul Weller returns with his most hard hitting solo album to date. As Is Now finds Weller plugging in, and turning the volume up louder than he has in years. The first single "From The Floorboards Up" is out now and is 2 minutes 27 seconds of edgy, malevolent rock'n'roll. Possessing the same urgency "In The City" had 29 years ago, it shows Paul Weller rejuvenated--a livewire and firebrand ready to take on all comers on this his eighth solo album.

CD Description
Ninth solo album and follow-up to 2002's 'Illumination' from the Modfather Paul Weller. Recorded at Wheeler End Studios, the album was produced by Jan Kybert, who also worked on his acclaimed covers album 'Studio 150' in 2004. This recording is a return to form by the former Jam frontman, who delivers here fourteen tracks of classic Britpop. The single 'Come On Let's Go' is included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genius, 10 Nov 2005
This review is from: As Is Now (Audio CD)
I really love this album from the stirring and rip-roaring riffs of Blink And You'll Miss It and then through the undulating mix of styles, like the calm and collected I Wanna Make It Alright. Mr Weller really delivers, just like the very 1st time I heard and saw the Jam. The man is a real icon and still at the top

4.0 out of 5 stars Raw and Ready, 9 Oct 2005
This review is from: As Is Now (Audio CD)
having just finished listening to this Album i must say that its very close to being Weller at his best, this album mixes the best of Wild Wood and Stanley Road and blends it into a fine record

5.0 out of 5 stars Really impressed......., 23 Mar 2006
By Wooltonian (Liverpool) - See all my reviews
This review is from: As Is Now (Audio CD)
To be honest, when I received this CD as a Christmas present last year, I wasn't really expecting very much.

Without being a huge fan, I've followed Weller's career on and off ever since the early days of the Jam and bought the odd single along the way. Admittedly 'Wild Wood' (1994) and 'Stanley Road' were both good albums, but with subsequent releases slightly disappointing and Weller pushing 50, my expectations were not that high.

.....Wrong......

This album is an absolute corker. I'm really impressed. From the frantic bluesy chords of the opening track this album hardly misses a beat. I am absolutely gobsmacked just how good it is. It easily stands shoulder to shoulder with 'Wild Wood' and 'Stanley Road' and is possibly better than both!

Only on two or three tracks does the intensity of Weller's compositional style and delivery produce slightly over-wrought songs ('Fly little bird', 'Pan' and 'The Pebble and the Boy') but for the most part the album is loose, energetic and choc-full of great songs, dashed off in an effortless variety of styles......in short it's an absolute joy.

If you like Weller and you haven't already purchased this album, what on earth are you waiting for??

I rate Paul Weller and think this album is spot on. A lot more upbeat that some of his other work. From The Floorboards Up is an instant classic!
