Confessions of a Pop Group (2008) "shares the passionate schizophrenia" as "Confessions of a Pop Group" and the Beatles' "White Album", an opinion echoed by Lewis who felt that "22 Dreams" was Weller's most adventurous album since "Confessions". Jason Fox of the "NME" also cited the raga instrumental "Spring (at Last)", from 2002's "Illumination", as falling "almost in "Confessions of a Pop Group" territory." All tracks written by Paul Weller, except where noted. Note : The above is the tracklisting for the UK release. In the US, the original halves of the album were reversed, with tracks 6-11 above coming first, followed by tracks 1-5.
