With enough melodies to appease the feather-cut-dads fanbase, and enough experimentation to slake his own curveball tastes, this is have-your-cake-and-eat-it Weller

The Line Of Best Fit
On Sunset could be viewed as an album reinstating Weller as the keeper of mod musical tradition, but it’s also an album that sees him taking a rare glance into the rear-view mirror as he speeds into the '20s

Even as this album is released Weller is writing more songs, his next solo chapter already coming into view. It is an indication of the speed of his thought these days, and is shown in On Sunset’s ability to translate instinctive musical ideas into an album at a moment’s notice

Under The Radar
If there’s one thing On Sunset doesn’t evoke, it’s the twilight of a career. Weller the elder statesman sounds more invigorated than ever as he cheekily tries every musical trick under the sun

On Sunset has a warmth and cohesiveness in its collective form, however, its lack of edge makes it too unintrusive to be truly memorable.
