    Coxon has come up with an album full of raw guitar licks, killer hooks and heartfelt lyrics.

    Coxon's ambitions on Love Travels at Illegal Speeds may not be grand -- he has simply made a punky pop album (which is different than punk-pop) -- but his execution is exceptional, which makes this a very appealing album.

    The problem with Love Travels At Illegal Speeds is its lack of variation and the dominant subject matter. [#15]

    Coxon is fast becoming one of my favorite artists. This album is genious.

    I've been a huge solo-Coxon fan ever since his first album in 1998, and I'm truly disappointed with this new opus. It seems like he's mowing more and more towards commercial sloppy rock, nothing near the moving noisy little songs he used to write. The problem may be that Coxon's art only blooms in a very confined context: lofi production, small distribution, which was the case as long as he was part of Blur and when his solo works were only sideprojects. Now he's gained more freedom, he's trying to develop into a more "complete" artist, which is to me a total scuttling of his craft. Regretably, no solution to that, as the geezer won't go back to Blur again, and would he, he wouldn't go back to pretensionless lofi records. Conclusion: instead of this, go buy "Crow Sit On Blood Tree": you'll acknowledge his talent in a much better way and you'll make your ears a lot more happier.… Expand

    this is a hell of a lot more boring than any incarnation of blur. maybe his lyrics are witty, but this is really third-rate pop-punk. at this point, it seems like he's trying to replicate frank black's solo career, with each album sounding more and more like boring pub rock.… Expand
