Candylion - Gruff Rhys
Candylion Image
  • Summary: Unlike his Welsh-language solo debut, the more accessible 'Candylion' finds the Super Furry Animals leader singing mainly in English.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 17 out of 18
  2. Negative: 0 out of 18
  1. Indisputably one of the best projects Gruff Rhys has ever been involved with.
  2. Ultimately, Candylion is more annoying than entertaining.

    "The Court of King Arthur" is the best song SFA never recorded.

    Very charming and consistent. Better than the last Furries album. Nothing here will blow your head (not even the 12 minute monster at the end) but there is some fine songwriting. Expand

    A great album that holds up very well. If this were the product of a new artist with no SFA ties I would be very excited about his future. SFA's recent milquetoast offerings pale in comparison to this and the single from the upcoming SFA lp, "Show Your Hand" is NOT a harbinger of a return to form by the Furries. Perhaps Gruff needs to go solo permanently. Expand
