"This one has received a lot of criticism for being an uninspired affair and the band was said to have run out of steam. That is also how I remembered the album, but after returning to it I realized that this is a hell of a lot better than it's reputation. Even though it tends to get a tad formula..." [+] Reply

"This album created a whole new genre : Decay Folk. The guitar sounds rotten. The whole atmosphere is damp and bleak. The songs are slowly decomposing and sound as creepy as the cover photo. Absolutely essential masterpiece." Reply

"What happens when a cynical Vietnam Vet fronts a nihilistic hardcore band. Lee Ving's biting satire rivals even Ginn's about Life in the City in the years before Giulianni and gentrification (for better & worse) made "them safe for me and you". WARNING: This album was completely re-recorded in 20..." [+] Reply
"By the third album, most bands are either already re-treading familiar turf and slipping into comfortable self-parody or challenging their fanbase and losing half of them in the process. For Bloc Party circa Intimacy, it was very much the latter, but this is actually a thrilling listen in places...." [+] Reply
"Decent songwriting, tasteful and restrained production. Kinda wish one or the other went a little further." Reply

"A pretty good album. Unsquare dance is quite overrated though. I'm unsure whether I like this one of Time Out more" Reply

"These guys have very good taste in the music they stole, err, I mean sampled. e.g., The Band on "Check the Technique". I also liked the rhythm guitar, piano, scratching, and nice beats. And classic rhyme rapping, I like the relaxed delivery. Music to chill by, terrific album all the way through a..." [+] Reply
"The title track is great, always loved that. The rest of the album swings from excellent (Painter man, He was a Steppenwolf) to unbearable (King of the road, Brown girl in the ring) but for half of it's running time this album is a fresh and fun disco/pop record that still sounds great today. The..." [+] Reply
"I almost picked "I'm still in love with you" or "call me" as they are my favorite Al Green albums, but there are so many great songs on this that I had to pick this album and include an Al Green album on my chart. "Love and Happiness" is my favorite Al Green song. Di..." [+] Reply
