Entertainment Reviews:

Spin
"One cut destined for any career overview: 'Aim High,' a psychedelic-soul rave-up with a block-rockin' beat."
Uncut - p.80
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]here's nothing reactionary or nostalgic about the chemical guitar sounds fizzing around him....He is now officially on a hot streak."
Uncut - p.37
Ranked #3 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "[A] kaleidoscopic reassertion of Weller as one of Britain's most free-thinking musicians..."
Mojo (Publisher) - p.94
4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's the album where he appears to have learned to embrace the eccentric and visionary in himself, and publicly declare that, from now on, there are no musical boundaries."
Mojo (Publisher) - p.57
Ranked #6 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "[T]his was all about Weller forging ahead and plotting a new path. The result: his boldest album to date."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Scattered throughout are everything from free jazz flourishes and psych-freakouts like 'Find the Torch, Burn the Plans' to introspective Dylan ditties like 'Grasp & Still Connect,' and, on 'Up the Dosage,' even a bit of disco."
Clash (Magazine) - "Right from the first smash of piano keys it's clear that this offering is fast-paced, floor filling rock 'n' roll that falls somewhere in the space between The Jam and The Style Council..."
