"Why no-one else has seen fit to comment on this work of unmitigated genius is beyond me. I've got 3 things to say about this LP - 1. it's one of the only JA LPs you can listen to from start to finish and think "you know what, this is an album, not a collection of singles with a few fillers chucke..."  [+]  Reply

"Sparks are not for everyone. With falsetto vocals in combination with an unpredictable, schizophrenic style, they're a tightrope act teetering on obnoxious cleverness. But I guess that's why I love them. Unlike other bands, Sparks don't play it safe. My personal fave, Kimono My House, sounds like..."  [+]  Reply

"I don;t think it's so much an album about the end of times as it is a study of the human soul in an enviorment without the artificial conviencies of modern society to distract us. It's a stark, thorny album that never gives you the pat on the shoulder we all seem to eventually be asking for, but ..."  [+]  Reply

"I think most people on this site will have a band that they connected with significantly more than any others in their adolescence. When you're moving from the stages of just uncritically absorbing whatever's on the radio or whatever your parents play, to a point of having your own musical tastes..."  [+]  Reply

"You’ve just had the perfect day. Sun drenched and bone tired, you gather up your things with your friends. There is sand in your hair and on your bare feet, but you don’t care. You can wash it off tomorrow. You pile into the car laughing about some inside joke that no one outside that day would e..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the best albums in a rich Iron Maiden catalog. A lot of their 80's material is pretty underrated on BEA. Even the weakest songs on here are still pretty unique and catchy. The strongest points are the first two tracks and the closer. Some of the most epic moments in the Maiden discography...."  [+]  Reply

"I want to say that it's better than Aja but it was such a long time since I listened to that record so I would have to give it another shot before making a determination. But. I do maintain that I believe it would have more of an emotional impact if it was less over-produced, though I do understa..."  [+]  Reply
