THEWALRUSSEMOLINANov 4, 2005this is a great record, it can give you some positive energy an also it can put in a soft mood....I love it, my favourite track is Brave New World, a cool-fresh ballad alike Sonnet or Lucky Man from Verve`s Urban Hymns. Ashcroft is the second best songwriter nowadays (second to Noel Gallagher!) Buy it and listen to it 24 hours a day!

JossS.Dec 25, 2001even if over orchastrated, a soulful effort nonetheless. the album is almost too cohesive as the album displays only one sound, one mood. but the songs are strong and stand on their own as well as in the album format.

The problem is that Alone never peaks -- it's without a memorable riff or melody or chorus standing out from the mellow flow.
-
Admittedly, he seems to be missing a sparring partner like McCabe and thus, "Alone" often suffers a lack of tension. Still, Ashcroft's unabashed joy is rather contagious.

This is a confident, competent new direction from one of rock's most intriguing figures.
