Review of "Setting Sons" Album

©Record Mirror - October 1979

Like Ray Davies of The Kinks, Paul Weller is obsessed with England ...

On SETTING SONS he takes a broader sweep all around ... The result is a set of tunes of emotional depth and maturity ...

As on most of his compositions, here Weller is pointing his finger at the protagonist whilst accepting that he is merely a pawn in society´s game ...

Let´s just say that SETTING SONS is a far more ambitious and adventurous project in every respect ...

The last great album of the Seventies.
