Being a fan of Mansun, I was curious how Paul’s songwriting and sound would be after some 13 years of hiatus. I was initially not as impressed with the songwriting, but the instrumentals were catchy enough to get stuck in my head. Then the more I listened the more I appreciated the writing, and then the songs were set on repeat. I’ll be listening to this album over and over until my brain goes ADD and wants something else. But that’ll take some time.

I've been such a Mansun fan since the 90's. That said, this is different, but familiar. It's wonderful and interesting throughout.
