Review

Spin (p.112) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The heftiest of Weller's nine solo studio albums, 22 DREAMS finds the modfather kneeling humbly at the altar of craft."
Q (Magazine) (p.96) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he gamble has paid off in a sometimes challenging but constantly rewarding musical modyssey. For 22 DREAMS read 24-carat Weller."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.73) - Ranked #3 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "As well as topping the charts it became his most commercially successful release since STANLEY ROAD."
Clash (magazine) (p.124) - "The beauty of 22 DREAMS is that from those disparate sources Weller has created a proper album, with a fully formed narrative while showcasing some of his most vital work yet."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.95) - "[With] Weller's now-familiar lyrical themes of sprituality, Mother Nature, mortality, loss, vulnerability and love. 22 DREAMS, then, shares the passionate schizophrenia of The Beatles' WHITE ALBUM..."

Title Note

Ever since going solo in the early 1990s, Paul Weller has pulled consistently further away from his mod-rock origins toward an organic singer/songwriter sound, and 22 DREAMS finds him bringing that process as close to perfection as one could reasonably expect. Sure, the soul influences that have always been at his core are still present, and there are some undeniable rockers here, but from the piano ballad "Invisible" to the flowing folk-rock balladry of "Why Walk When You Can Run" Weller seems bent on fulfilling his destiny as the heir to the Van Morrison throne. And if the six-minute atmospheric instrumental "Night Lights" doesn't convince you that Weller's all about setting a mood on 22 DREAMS, nothing will.

Editorial Reviews

TOWER.COM REVIEW

Album Review

"After As Is Now I thought the time was right to make the sort of record I wanted to make," says Paul Weller of the creative process which led to his striking ninth solo album 22 Dreams. "Instead of worrying about anyone else, I wanted to really push the boat out. I think the result is going to surprise a few people." Surprises have always been part of the artistic vernacular for the man who changed rock forever with The Jam, explored eclectic influences with The Style Council and cemented his position as the patriarch of Brit pop with his legendary solo work. 22 Dreams is the latest chapter in a creative journey spanning 30 years, with material spanning the full breadth of popular music - rock to classical, avant garde to funk and spoken word to experimental. In addition to a cast of Weller's frequent collaborators including Steve Cradock and producer Simon Dine, 22 Dreams also features some of the largest beneficiaries of Weller's incalculable musical influence. Noel Gallagher and Gem from Oasis lend their talents to 'Echoes Around the Sun,' a writing collaboration between Weller and Gallagher. Ex-Blur guitarist Graham Coxon appears on 'Black River.' The spirit of collaboration and an in-the-moment creative approach have resulted in one of Weller's most spirited works and one that is sure to expand the artistic canon of the one and only 'Modfather.'
