Supergrass got so damn boring by the end, losing touch with the scrappy energy that made them so appealing in the first place. But the former frontman's second solo outing opens strong! There's a flash of what Gaz might've been going for: buzzy bass, fidgety electronics, and swooning vocals make epic, glammy gestures. It's pretty good. And then it's gone.
The album's desperately frontloaded, and after the first few tracks mostly there's layers of backing vocals and other production nonsense in the space where the hooks should be. Eventually its all a bit Coldplay, with all the trappings of something moving, but no heart 3/5
