Green's past albums have all been enjoyable affairs. This one, however, is a masterpiece.
-
Come and pay homage to the new Lounge Lizard King.
-
UncutBlessed with a baritone unmatched in modern pop, he delivers 15 exquisite ditties. [May 2006, p.108]
-
Q MagazineGreen is a one-man game of musical consequences, mismatched but endlessly fascinating. [May 2006, p.124]
-
It’s pleasantly like listening to a lost Bobby Darin or Andy Williams recording session where they took the wrong medication for shits and giggles.
-
Musically and melodically, this is the best work Green has ever done (even counting The Moldy Peaches -- which isn't to suggest for a second that Jacket is the superior record). Lyrically, though, it's the same old Adam Green bullshit.
-
The aggressively banal orchestral arrangements and cornball baritone make Jacket Full of Danger something like a rakish Scott Walker for the post-Beck era.
-
If this was any more showbiz it’d be performed on ice.
-
New Musical Express (NME)A twisted, mucky treat. [15 Apr 2006, p.35]
-
MojoOdd, enjoyable. [Jun 2006, p.103]
-
At the same time that Green has perfected the easy-listening, lazy-day ballad on Jacket Full of Danger, he’s also taken the theatrical, showbiz style of Gemstones to the next level.
-
"Jacket Full Of Danger" thinks it's funny but isn't - it's often pathetic.
-
Jacket Full of Danger is an unfocused album that lets his own kitschy gags grab him by the ankles.
-
BlenderGreen manages to charm even as he annoys. [Aug 2006, p.108]
-
It's just annoying to listen to.
