All the plans is a beautifully crafted album, back on form for the
Starsailor boys. James voice is truly amazing and this album has on first listening all the attributes which made Love is Here the brilliant album it was. There are a couple of quirky Johnny Cash moments, as well as some of the most soulful and heartfelt lyrics James has written to date. Absolute brilliance.
As far as I am concerned Love Is Here is one of the best albums ever made, certainly James and co's best. Silence is Easy is a brilliant stand alone album too, but there is something missing on their third effort, On The Outside. This, though is back to form. The is a rousing opener, a quirky country sounding 3rd track and then the final 3 tracks are mustard also. Well done lads, great stuff. If this does not throw them in to the realms of popularity reserved for the likes of Oasis etc with the media and public then nothing will. Although they will always remain my no.1 band, YNWA.
