Jan 18, 2019Johnny Marr's best album so far, the atmosphere in this album is outstanding and very powerful with tunes like Walk Into The Sea, Hi Hello and Day In Day Out. In this album Marr shows that he is still the guitar genius he was with his former band.

Jul 12, 2018Actually a fine enough 'meat and potatoes' pop rock effort - the worst criticism you could throw the way of this album is pointing out that only three (four at most) songs here can really lay claim to being 'must-keep'ers.

Jun 16, 2018Good songwriting. Sonically speaking it might be Johnny's most interesting solo record. Heavy emphasis on atmosphere but there are still hooks left and right. My only complaint is that the production sounds a bit flat at times. Still, this should go down as one of the better guitar albums of the year.

Aug 3, 2018Call the Comet is more accomplished than compelling, but there is pleasure in hearing how all the parts fit together so tidily.

Jul 17, 2018There is nothing pretentious about Call the Comet, just gobs of alluring, guitar-based rock, tipping the scale in favor of Marr over Morrissey.
