    With his sixth release, Brown has become the UK's most consistently entertaining and often innovative solo artist.
  2. Mojo

    His exhilarating meld of hip hop beats and mesmeric grooves proves that should he reform his old band, it's not because he needs to. [Nov 2009, p.95]

    Ian Brown follows an idiosyncratic path in keeping with My Way's title--mixing up the kind of heavily synthesised rhythms learned from Jamaican dancehall with a curious cover of Zager And Evans' dystopian folk oddity 'In The Year 2525,' some insidious grooves and, on closer 'So High,' a somewhat wayward stab at soul.

    Whilst "Golden Greats" remains my personal favourite Ian Brown album (with "Music Of The Spheres" a close second), "My Way" is definitely his most consistent set yet and contains great tunes in abundance! After the relatively disappointing "The World Is Yours", the man sounds reenergised, reinvigorated and inspired, delivering a great, semi-autobiographical and stylistically varied pop opus which almost plays like a greatest hits set such is the quality on offer.… Expand
