I used to love his stuff. Well, the old stuff is still untouchable - Ocean Machine, City, Terria etc. Hit a wobbly patch with the disappointing Ziltoid, I just about gave up on him when I heard Deconstruction. I know "It's just entertainment folks" but that album was painful to listen to. And now he's getting the critical attention he deserves. Funny old world!
Still, he has a fearsome back catalogue and he's an incredible guitarist and singer.

Ziltoid was intended to be a piss take! It was excellent
Deconstruction wasn't great, but Addicted was superb, possibly the best of his career.
I pledged to his new Casualties of Cool album, it's pop but very well crafted.
