Both Ian (my Dad) and Vivienne refer to the richness of the Paul Poulton Sound on this excellent CD, but the inspirational quality of the tracks is epitomised by 'Too Big' and its message about the unfathomable nature of God and eternity, and our need to humbly receive all that God gives us with gratitude. An awesome CD!
"Too Twitchy" by Paul Poulton is another great album. The style & feel of this album is fresh and rich both musically & lyrically. The songs explore issues that are universal, such as relationships & loneliness plus others. Paul's lyrics can be compared to an idea of the still small voice that we read about in Isaiah, the lyrics are portrayed in whispers, echoes and nuances of meaning. The lyrics raise important questions. "Too Twitchy" is a gem of an album.
'Too Twitchy' is a typically light-hearted but seriously intentioned musical offering reflecting on personal issues and with a Christian theme. The Paul Poulton Sound is rich and chilled out, integrating Paul's vocals with the instrumental backing effectively. The Sound has taken Paul's music a stage further than his solo efforts enabled him to; but his witty yet profound lyrics have always hit home in the live setting!
This album has a cleaner, punchier sound than previous cds and the guitar riffs seem to have more prominence. It features some of the best songs Paul has written in recent times, such as my favourite "I Like You", but "Too Twitchy" and "Lonely" really stand out for me too. The flashes of acoustic guitar are great too, and the acoustic riff on the excellent "Mistakes I've Made" is sublime. Overall, the songs are more melodic and and as a result there isn't really a weak one on here.
