One of my all time favourite albums. The Jam at their very best. 2 months ago. Great days. The only album that my dorm at boarding school could agree to listen to whilst going to sleep in 1980. Still sounds good now, although my choices ("Chairs Missing", "Grotesque" and "Unknown Pleasures") were better.
However, ‘Setting Sons’ is a great album in album context and quality, and there are no skip-able tracks present at all. The record is mainly a testament to Paul Weller’s growing songwriting confidence, as inspired by his current reading, he aimed for the ‘dreaded’ concept album. Weller’s concept was of three schoolhood friends growing up together, but parting ways as their political views force them apart – one goes hard right-wing, one goes hard left-wing and one remains neutral. The main problem with Weller’s idea lay in his perennial writer’s block, and he hadn’t written enough songs covering the concept to spread across both sides of vinyl.
