If you've followed Ian Brown's career you've allowed yourself to be transported, cerebrally, through space and time; enlightened lyrics in harmony with mellow, blissed out trip rock tinged with a producer's nous. This is no different. Some people complained that, upon entering fatherhood, Ian Brown had gone 'soft'. And? This has groove, make no mistake, but it also keeps itself happy without interruptions as background music, in the car, the bath, a spaceship! This is definately in my 2004 top 5 - try it, you might like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Monkey Business, February 7, 2005

In 1996, The Stone Roses could have been the greatest band of the decade. Instead they break up after two albums. Other bands steal the attention away. The music landscape changes. Ian Brown has been an influence all the way, especially on Oasis. Ian Brown released his first solo album around that time. After three albums and a load of touring he has the attention of the masses again. He was on the cover of NME in 2004. Is he now going to conquer America? It's part of the plans apparently. Brown played in California for the first time in a decade in September 2004. Some new songs like "Longsight M13" are excellent. "Time Is My Everything" recalls the sounds of Arthur Lee and Love. "Upside Down" is his most political song. That is more of a concern when you get older. Some songs reflect his experiences with collaborations with UNKLE and other techno dudes. "Keep What Ya Got" is his collaboration with Noel Gallagher. It is an excellent song and anthem. It's amazing that Ian Brown has created a powerful body of work. He has not just rested on his laurel. He has kept it up to date.

I bought this CD because I'm a Stone Roses nut. I didn't think it would be good. I was right, but in the wrong direction. It's GREAT!!! See, I never thought Ian Brown would be so good following the Stone Roses because his live performances with the Stone Roses, um, left a little to be desired. He seemed to be the least talented of the lads in the band; however, he's created a full-blown classic here if you ask me.

Melody, modernness, great lyrics, horns, guitars, bass, computers, emotion, mysticism...this CD has it all. It's a VERY good CD. Have no fear picking this one up Stone Roses fans and everyone else. It's a must-buy!
