Paul Weller makes music for a world in deep fracture. For several albums in a row, the English singer-songwriter has seemed jittery and anxious, but A Kind Revolution puts its finger on the pulse better than any of its predecessors. Part of that's simple timing: Released amid global political uncertainty, A Kind Revolution isn't explicitly topical, but its mood—one of fighting hard for hope, even in perilous days—captures the spirit of the age. It helps that this is also Weller's finest effort since 2008's sprawling 22 Dreams. Unlike some of the albums he's released in the interim, like Wake Up the Nation and Sonik Kicks, A Kind Revolution never feels fragmentary, even though it's certainly wide-ranging and eclectic. The difference is that Weller really gives his best ideas time to develop here, and his usual frenzied pacing is relaxed a bit, letting the songs fully unfold.
