As a solo artist and former member of influential 1990s rockers Toad The Wet Sprocket, it’s obvious that Glen Phillips’ talents lie in skills that are far more creative than those required to complete tedious administrative tasks.
But after a haphazard marketing strategy led to poor album sales, Phillips was released from his deal and he decided to regain control of every aspect of his career in an effort to get back to basics.
Besides, life as a solo artist clearly excites Phillips, as does the opportunity to set his own agenda as an artist free of the corporate grind of the major label machine.

 Glen Phillips Abulum on DVD-A review on AudioRevolution.com

After the band came apart in 1998, he seemed to go silent, but here he is, back with a solo work that is worthy of attention even if you didn’t go for the band from whence he came.

You know him as the frontman for Toad the Wet Sprocket, the '90s band who topped the charts with hits such as "All I Want" and "Walk On The Ocean." Since the band split in 1998, Phillips has made two solo albums.
Musically, Phillips matches his mature outlook with hooks galore.
Phillips may not recapture the kind of success he had during Toad's heyday with this record, but like fellow journeymen Neil Finn, Matthew Sweet and Aimee Mann, he's carrying the torch for a kind of pop singing and songwriting that is becoming endangered.

 Frets - Glen Phillips   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Whether fronting the alt-rock band Toad the Wet Sprocket in the late 1980s and through- out the ’90s, or flying his own flag as a solo artist in recent years, Glen Phillips has never had to resort to shouting to get his musical point across.
His compelling voice has the warmth and the bite of fresh gingerbread, and he is masterful at crafting songs that pack emotional punch while being accessible enough to hit the Top 40—as did the Toad singles “All I Want” from Bread and Circus and “Fall Down” from Dulcinea.
Phillips is a writer at heart, however, and even without label deadlines or other pressures, it’s a sure bet that he’ll keep his notebook and tape recorder handy.

What distinguishes his third solo record is the return to the uptempo pop-rock arrangements that made Toad such a success, showcasing Phillips’ gift for singing pop anthems you can believe.
Replacing post-collegiate angst with the wisdom of experience, Phillips manages to make hope and gratitude seem well-earned by revealing darker moments of doubt that had to be overcome to get there.
