How much can you say anymore about a live album? ... Very obviously DIG THE NEW BREED is a straight, no surprises live album ... this is an affair between The Jam and their fans ... within their own circle The Jam were too straight ...

DIG is, if anything, a dead end of a record justly placed at the end of a career ... perhaps the sole blemish of The Jam´s career (horrible word!), was that the conservative streak of the Wellerian politik came too much to the fore ... It is, in truth, trash and no tension ...

Celebratory anger does not get captured well ... We await a weirder re-emergent Weller, breeding the new dig.
