CD Reviews

My review of "My Way"

J. GARRATT | 12/11/2009

(4 out of 5 stars)

"As 2009 winds down, ain't nobody talkin'bout Ian Brown's new album. Call me a simpleton, but I've enjoyed watching Brown's solo career grow and succeed in spite of the pathetic ending to the Stone Roses' career. "My Way" is simultaneously a minor step forward as well as an improvement over "The World Is Yours" from maybe two years ago.

Not that I hated Brown's last album, but this one is more tuneful and approachable. There is a heavy-handed presence of sampling and electronic percussion, but fortunately the songs are written around these elements. "Own Brain" sounds like it break-danced its way out of the 80s.

And whatever accolades get lauded toward a Ian Brown solo album, a portion of that praise goes to Dave McCracken who co-wrote and produced a majority of what's here. But the most memorable track, the melancholy "Always Remember Me," was written by Brown alone.

But I gotta dock the album points for covering "In The Year 2525." Honestly, I just don't like that song. Ian Brown's version isn't terrible, I just think it wasn't needed.

Britpop may not rule the headlines anymore, but they still churn out quality stuff. "My Way" is one of Ian Brown's top solo albums."
