Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
2015 - He writes the songs, but maybe he’d better stick to singing.
-
The Guardian
2015 - Two years ago, Rod Stewart had a crack at songwriting for the first time in decades, and made a rather decent album out of it – but sadly the well of inspiration seems to have run dry again.
-
The Independent
2015 - There’s a rollicking charm to Another Country that’s warmly engaging at its best; but of course, it wouldn’t be a Rod Stewart album without a few irritations along the way.
-
American Songwriter
2015 - Stewart lovers who can forgive his excesses of over-production, over-singing and underwritten songs might find a few scattered reasons still left to believe.
-
All Music
2015 - It feels true to who he is today: an entertainer who is happy to reveal part of his heart because he now knows there's an audience who cares.
-
Financial Times
2015 - An older, wiser Rod dispenses avuncular advice to younglings, but still unleashes alarming falsetto screams.
-
The National
2015 - Rod Stewart’s Another Country offers a reflective look back on the past.
-
Stuff
2015 - If, with three naff tracks, I can find six potential hit singles then it has succeeded.
-
Evening Standard
2015 - The legendary singer rediscovers his twinkly-eyed charm as he continues his return to form.
-
Yorkshire Times
2015 - It is an album that shows that he is still as good as ever.
-
The Arts Desk
2015 - Contentment and nostalgia are a cosy fit for senior Rod. Easy on the reggae though.
-
Washington Times
2015 - Don’t be turned off by the uninspiring cover - there’s plenty of passion inside.
-
Louder
2015 - Clearly emboldened, his new album is also self-penned, with mixed results.
-
100 Percent Rock
2015 - Musically he and his team play it far too safe at every turn, so whilst not a complete travesty, it is far more a case of ‘what could have been’.
-
The Herald
2015 - Originality, then, is not something to be searching for in a set that sounds so much like a Rod Stewart album it veers dangerously close to self-parody, and will probably be very popular as a result.
-
Bourbon and Vinyl
2015 - I would still recommend this album despite it’s flaws.
-
Classic Rock
2015 - As honest as possible: Rod's attempt to revive old glories.
