    Aside from the brilliant departure offered by the album's opener, Blunt has lost all concept of how to sound like himself. His voice is the same, but it's singing songs that don't sound like his songs.

    Shallow, soulless and strangely cynical, Some Kind of Trouble is a thoroughly depressing listen.

So not a bad listen but he can do much better.… Full Review »
