Review

Uncut (p.81) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "There are some lovely moments....'Wasted Time' in particular reminds what an intelligent writer and agile singer Jackson is."
Q (Magazine) (p.96) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[W]ith a pared-back immediacy that showcases his craftsmanship to the full."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "RAIN again places his best George Gershwin and Cole Porter-styled songwriting centre-stage....Most tracks are sophisticated, jazzy pop songs and ballads about relationships..."
Harp (magazine) (p.113) - "[S]traight-ahead rock and pop songs that are as forceful and energetic as they are melodically compelling."
The Word (magazine) (p.100) - "The crispness and clarity of the writing is matched by Jackson's insistence on using only bass, drums and piano -- the effect is like a well-oiled jazz trio playing very grown-up pop, allowing the songs time to stretch and breathe."
Record Collector (magazine) (p.90) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "He's still as caustic and witty as ever, but the social commentary is couched in a mood swing complexity/simplicity that Jimmy Webb or Burt Bacharach would be proud of."

Title Note

As one of the original Angry Young Men of the U.K. new wave, Joe Jackson barely touched a piano on his first three albums with his original band. Some three decades later, his second studio reunion with his old rhythm section (this time minus guitarist Gary Sanford) turns that scenario upside down. RAIN is just piano, bass, and drums--no guitars, no overdubs. As winningly melodic as ever, Jackson handily navigates the ivories throughout, delivering mostly ballads whose elegance is balanced by a healthy dose of his trademark lyrical barbs. The Motown-like groove of "King Pleasure Time" and the breathless syncopation of "Good Bad Boy" provide uptempo contrast, but for the most part, RAIN is a mature, reflective effort unafraid to take its time.
