Paul Weller - Wild Wood
Menos asentado sobre las bases del soul y el R&B que en su debut, titulado simplemente Paul Weller; más definidamente roquero, y sumando trazos de folk, Wild Wood, segundo álbum solista de Paul Weller, califica entre lo mejor de su meritoria carrera.
Las canciones son directas, contundentes, y están cantadas con vigor y fervor: Paul Weller es convincente como muy pocos artistas de rock en la actualidad.
Los arreglos incluyen teclados electrónicos de antigua generación, tales como: el Wurlitzer, el Mellotron o el MiniMoog, sirviendo para acentuar la evocación del sonido de las épocas gloriosas del rock de las que Weller se nutre.
Desde el inicio de su carrera solista, Paul Weller se mostró sólido, maduro, creativo, intenso, convirtiéndose en el mejor heredero de la estirpe Beatle, sin perder su propia voz. ****1/2
