    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.

  1. Minor gripes aside, My Way is far better than anyone could have expected from a singer whose reputation is still judged by his musical contribution from 20 years ago.
  2. This is a surprisingly engaging record that highlights Ian Brown as an underrated songwriter and arranger, and underscores the point that while his enthusiasm for creativity is as infectious as ever, Spike Island and its ilk are unlikely to be revisited in the forseeable future.
  3. Ian Brown just keeps on getting better. As it stands, his way seems like the only way to go.
