Well, that's an ouchie. But the reviewer is scrupulously fair - it's the album production he's savaging, not John as a person.

And he's right. There's about 1000 times more heart and soul in the impromptu performance of "Anything Goes" that John and the dancehall swing band did for the Torchwood#12 outtakes than there is in the whole of this album.

I suspect he'll do better with them live though. As others have said, I think he needs an audience.
