This is an album that presents vulnerability, the admission of flaws and emotional openness as routes to strength.

Though in lesser hands such eclecticism may have felt forced and disjointed, here it’s nothing short of excellent.

It's clear that World's Strongest Man is Coombes' boldest musical statement to date with each song overflowing with hooks and melodies.

With more swagger and power than anything released in his career so far, ‘World’s Strongest Man’ is the perfect snapshot of a creative leader in full stride, and one of the most interesting and infectious record of the year because of it.

This is a highly accomplished and deeply felt third album to add to an already auspicious Gaz Coombes canon. He is on fine form at the moment, undoubtedly one of Britpop’s Strongest Men.

World's Strongest Man is a winning combination of the familiar and the peculiar and is worth a listen for fans of nuanced pop rock with seductive grooves.

‘World’s Strongest Man’ is a veritable melting pot of genre-bending songs.

Gaz’s third solo offering continues to find him moving into his next phase with real class.

Here, the former Supergrass leader is so busy trying to prove something with his lofty themes and overreaching stylisation, that all of the magic is lost.
