Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Funny how things turn out sometimes. Love Travels At Illegal Speeds marks four years since Graham Coxon, Blur’s "difficult", skronk-friendly guitarist was ejected from his band in a cloud of acrimony. Far from disappearing into the wilderness on a spell of albums in the vein of 1998’s lo-fi The Sky Is Too High, however, Coxon has shunned the experimental drift of his ex-bandmates and since followed his muse back towards the rock mainstream, alighting now with a very English rock album that points to touchstones like The Kinks, Billy Childish, and the Magazine. "Standing On My Own Again", in particular, is an instant Coxon classic, a choppy punk anthem that for all its mush-mouthed Cockney delivery, lifts off on a chorus that ties up heartbreak and outcast celebration like few bands since The Buzzcocks. "I Can’t Look At You Skin" and "You Always Let Me Down" mine a similar vein of moody relationship trauma, while "What’s He Got" sees Coxon wallowing enjoyably in his outsider schtick, getting envious over a guy who "wears a pair of black Beatles boots just like me". Want to see where Arctic Monkeys picked up some of their tricks? Coxon’s your man. --Louis Pattison

4.0 out of 5 stars Top stuff, 3 April 2006

By A Customer

Highly accessible, but not superficial, energetic punky songs, with a few slower or stranger numbers. These latter also work very well, making this an unusual phenomenon in this day: an album with no duff songs! Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Coxon on top form, 11 Feb 2006

By	MR. J CHELMS (BUSHEY HEATH, HERTFORDSHIRE United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

I have been lucky enough to get an advanced copy of this album. Quite simply, regardless of whether you are a fan or not, this album is one for the collection, and the best thing I've heard this year. The album opens with the first single 'Standing On My Own Again' and from then on the album encompasses fast, punky, and rock numbers, whilst at the same time incorporating slow and melodic ballads. Coxon has nicely created a unique sound for himself after four albums, and this is his best work to date. Go out and get it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Melo-d, 7 Aug 2006

By	Melo-d (United kingdom) - See all my reviews

What a fantastic album! I cannot stop listening to it. Coxon is a real talent and hearing his solo work has really made me reflect on how important an influence he was in cultivating Blurs sound. I liked Blur .... but I like this more!!!!!. I particularly love the PUNK influences on this album, while Flights to the sea ( track 10) is just beautiful!!!!!!. I saw him play for free!!!!!! in London at RISE festival and he was amazing, his performance only spoilt by some MORON throwing a can at him. After seeing him perform live I ran out and bought this album. BUY this you will not regret it and if you haven't got it...... get (Happiness in Magazines).

5.0 out of 5 stars Coxon seems to have turned into the very antithesis of all that the Gorillaz are.
The more I listen to Graham Coxon, the more astounded I am that he was ever in Blur, and how his talent was wasted under the direction of that pretentious smug Damon Albarn. Read more
