Coxon has come up with an album full of raw guitar licks, killer hooks and heartfelt lyrics.
-
He lays bare pissed-off tantrums and his emotion through a burgeoning self-belief and raw musicality to create his endearingly bittersweet masterpiece.
-
A fine album that, while not likely to win any prizes for Gorillaz-style innovation, will resonate, both musically and lyrically, with fans young rather than old.
-
UncutThroughout, Coxon's masterly musicianship and shameless enthusiasm for such modish fare pulses like an electric current. [Apr 2006, p.110]
-
MojoIt's all funny, sardonic, heartfelt and loveable. [Apr 2006, p.106]
-
Love Travels at Illegal Speeds is by far Coxon's best solo album, and if his sensibilities remain where they're at now, it's conceivable that he'll never be able to top it.
-
Under The RadarThe problem with Love Travels At Illegal Speeds is its lack of variation and the dominant subject matter. [#15]
