[Anonymous]Apr 1, 2005Pretty freakin' awesome! Classic Britpop from a guy who knows his stuff. A couple of tracks seem fillery, but there are enough great hooks elsewhere to make up for that. The US version adds the fantastic "Right to Pop!", so be sure to get that one.

GordonRJun 3, 2004An excellent album that is on a par with any of the best stuff of Blur he was involved in

mattcJul 9, 2004And with one fell swoop Coxy proves he WAS the one with the talent in Blur after all. Bet Allbran's kicking himself now!

JasonC.Feb 2, 2005I get excited everytime I push the 'Play' button. "Hopeless Friend" is where it is at. Looking forward to seeing this material live. I do wish Graham was still with Blur, but considering how brilliant 'Think Tank' was, I think it is very clear talent was and is abundant throughout that band.

LiamHFeb 8, 2005As if he were set free from some heavy restraint, Coxon has put out an exhilarating album of amazing energy. The album takes unusual risks (which all succeed) that really took me by suprise. He sounds as in command of the music as any artist I've heard in recent memory. This is a CD you'll keep listening too and singing along with for a long time...

AdamXMay 17, 2004His most commercially viable album to date, full of fantastic riffs and tunes... the pace is relentless and always keeps you entertained... but, for me, the charm of "Crow Sit On Blood Tree" will always make that my favourite Coxon solo effort

stuartiMay 27, 2004Possibly the best album of the year.... If this was released by a better known artist, it would sell millions, lets hope people give it a chance.

The defining characteristic of ‘Happiness In Magazines’ isn’t its full sound, nor its sharp reminder of what a great band Blur used to be; its in the sheer imaginative scope.
