Editorial Reviews
2010 sophomore solo album from the Del Amitri frontman. Justin Currie was still in his teens when he co-founded Del Amitri in his hometown of Glasgow. From 1982 to 2002, the band evolved from resourceful D.I.Y. indie combo to international hitmakers. In 2007, Currie released his solo debut, What Is Love For?, which was acclaimed for its superb song craft and somber brilliance. On The Great War, Currie returns with a fresh collection of infectious melodies and ingenious wordplay - a combination of dark lyrical themes melded with a newfound optimism.

Another Excellent Album from Justin Currie,
By
This review is from: Great War (Audio CD)
The Great War is another great album from Justin Currie. After several listens, I would say it is very close to or equal to his last solo effort, "What is Love For"? The albums are similar in style and themes and I definitely recommend both. As many critics have said over the years, Justin Currie is a true tunesmith. This collection of 11 songs has excellent lyrics that are moving and actually thought provoking at times (an achievement for pop/rock these days). As always with Justin, the melodies are catchy and memorable throughout and the vocals are exceptional.
Justin Currie is one of the most underrated artists out there. If you are fortunate enough to be in a city where he plays live, don't miss the small venue experience. I have seen him several times and all shows have been outstanding!

Another great release from the former DEl Amitri frontman. If you liked DEl Amitri you will really enjoy this release. People always say they don't write songs like that anymore, but Justin still does ! " A man with nothing to do " Another classic. This cd still has all the hooks you would expect. You won't be disappointed.

This review is from: Great War (Audio CD)
Justin has produced his best ever! He has always dazzled me, confused me at times(particularly with "Can you do me good)", but now I get it! He has come somewhat full circle with "The Great War", but still maintains the distain he feels as well as the the dichotemy he perpetuates.
Buy this CD!! It's brilliant, and it will give you insight to him he never allowed before this. A Del Amitri fan since inception, his voice is better than ever, his lyrics very intimate yet juxtaposed as usual, and it makes me feel like he let me into his world just a bit. He'll only get better! BUY IT JUSTIN FANS!!
