 Review
It's better than his last album "Soulsun" (although truthfully, that really wouldn't have been difficult) but this is another crushingly disappointing effort from Damo.

It's now been 12 years since his last truly great album, 2012's "Almighty Love". "Soulsun", from 2017, sounded like a record made by someone who was struggling to write (bad covers, what felt like outtakes from previous records and re-recordings of old songs) but needed to put an album out.

"Hold Your Joy" feels like a record made by someone who has forgotten what made him great. It's weak, where's the warrior abusing his guitar with that boxers right arm, beating his chest in righteous ire. When he does get pumped up it's on the worst song I've ever heard of his (the awful "James McLean") and the less said about "Let It Go" (aka I've got a title and I'm gonna sing it, never mind the lyric) the better. I'll give him "Love Is The Bomb", a beautiful song about his Dad, but it's the last song on an album that runs for over an hour, by the time I got there I was bored.

I'll always go see Damo live, it's a life affirming experience, but his records seem to be getting further apart (6 between 2000-2102, 3 in the ensuing 12 years and one of those was duets of his own previously released songs with other artists !) and less and less good.
