22 Dreams is Paul Weller's ninth solo album and is much more of a concept album than any of his others. Ever since Wild Wood and Stanley Road were released in '93 and '95, Weller's career has slowly been declining, so you'd be forgiven for thinking this album isn't going to be great. On the contrary, it is fantastic!
The album is a mixture of sounds from Weller's career, from the rock of The Jam to the soul of The Style Council with some other new influences as well, such as electronica and krautrock. At 50 years old, many would say the time has passed for concept albums, this clearly proves them wrong.
Although not as good as Wild Wood or Stanley Road (pretty hard to beat) this is a stunning return to form for Weller, the 'Changingman' has reinvented his sound again, and the result is sublime.
