The debut solo album from the Manic Street Preachers' heroic lead barker is more of a brass-tacks affair than the Sleepy Jackson, but affectingly so.
His sentimentality-free reflections on "youthful fireworks" rely on big hooks and ballads, but a sure grounding in emotional reality steers the way towards territory more stirring than MoR
