That said, since it's only his second LP of original material in 11 years (how odd, from such a talented and prolific writer), after two respected music-for-Woody Guthrie-lyrics LPs, it's hard not to find Bragg and band's enthusiasm infectious. True, this is a shadow of the brilliant Bragg that worked himself into such a fever for five bracing LPs in seven years, culminating in the first rate Worker's Playtime, and his zenith, 1991's Don't Try This at Home -- and then opted out of the grind. But he is still one of the true clever, human, funny, and razor-direct lyricists, and his topics remain committed, no matter the clatter behind him. Whether addressing the other side of immigration dead-on, from the immigrant's perspective (as if to anticipate the travesty in France months later, with the racist "close the borders" National Front candidate finishing second!), on the title track, the moving, forlorn "Distant Shore," and most bluntly on the bitter, fuck-xenophobia "Take Down the Union Jack," or articulating the real problem of unchecked globalization (lost in the images of protester-police clashes) on "NPWA" -- no power without accountability -- Bragg is clearly tackling thorny issues most pop personalities wouldn't risk the slightest stance on. What it means to be British on the one hand, and a global citizen on the other, clearly is on his mind, and it's even reflected in the world music flavor of (admittedly the worst track) "Baby Faroukh" and the ska-light of "Dreadbelly." Plus, there are a number of cuts where Bragg returns to what he's actually much better at: making his own music without much outside musician influence. The actually solo "Distant Shore," "Some Days I See the Point," and especially the vintage 1984-1987 style Bragg of "Take Down the Union Jack," would have fit comfortably on the aforementioned LPs or the lone one in between, 1996's William Bloke. Were all artists and songwriters this thought-provoking (provoking? demanding!), empathetic, and so full of direct human spirit. ~ Jack Rabid|

背中にアンプ、両肩からスピーカーを突き出し、ギターを掻き鳴らしていたころからこの人は変わらない。政治の不正と愛の尊さを真っすぐに訴えかける生来のプロテスト・シンガー。見せかけの自由で自分を飼い殺す、〈国家〉という巨悪に唾棄し続けるパンク魂は、まさにウディ・ガスリーの継譜。レゲエ、スカ、フォークなどを軽妙にブレンドし、ポップに聴かせる職人芸も見事。ウイルコとの共演作を挟んでの、6年ぶりとなる新作です。
