MojoAs Is Now may be his finest and most consistent record since 1993's Wild Wood; possibly even since the days of The Jam. [Nov 2005, p.100]
-
Q MagazineHis finest collection of material for 10 years (at least). [Nov 2005, p.118]
-
One of his more satisfying solo albums.
-
Truly, Weller's back. And this time, he rules.
-
[His] most satisfying collection of material since 1993's "Wild Wood".
-
As Is Now sees Weller revisiting various points of his varied career and updating them. So there's the brittle guitar pop of Come On/Let's Go which recalls The Jam, the pastoral, laid back vibe of Wild Wood in All On A Misty Morning and even the ghost of the Style Council is resurrected in Bring Back The Funk.
-
A great study in songcraft, but not a consistently exciting listen.
