Movie Reviews of The Jam - The Complete Jam
Movie Review: Finally!!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a fan of The Jam for the past 22 years I have been waiting for something like this for a while now. This is an update of the 'Video Snap' that was available in the 80's with many added extras. Every song on this collection is outstanding, every song. The Jam were never really embraced in this country because Americans only get into British music as a whole if it is filtered into an American style and sound, in my opinion. This is the reason why Def Leppard, Coldplay, etc. have done well here but more truly British bands such as Blur, The Jam or Pulp have not.
The Jam straddled two distinct style changes from the beginning (77-79) to the end (80-82) and this two-disc set makes that distinction as well. By 1980 the Pop-Punk sound of the 70's Jam gave way to more politically potent, horn laden sound that solidified them as one of the greatest British bands of all time. American bands have never been able to master the use of horns in Pop or Rock without sounding really corny or overblown and The Jam prove my point when comparing them to other American acts.
Paul Weller's attention to detail and strong song writing will be amply showcased by this set and it's about time this was released. Once you get into the Jam I highly suggest picking up a greatest hits package of his follow-up band The Style Council. While not as strong as the Jam, it showcases the style change Weller was heading into at the tail end of The Jam. And, by the way, Paul Weller has about seven solo albums out and they have gotten better with each release. The Jam ultimately is a showcase and starting point for one of the greatest musicians of the last 25 years...Paul Weller!
