"As colorful a first eight bars of an album as you'll ever hear, and with four funky songs behind it - and then along comes "Baby Boomerang," aimed at... Babies?

"This is an odd album in the stones cannon. After the excellent aftermath this record comes as bit of a disappointment. The weird thing is that there's nothing bad on here, it's just good all the way through. That's it's problem. It's so consistently good that nothing really stands out. Yesterday'..." [+] Reply

"At the first listen or two, I was not immediately taken with this album. Certainly good, with some memorable songs, but I didn't think it could hold up next to Here Come the Warm Jets.

"This album is grand, sweeping, intentionally melodramatic. Lots of ups and downs. Which is exactly how a grand breakup album should be. When I was going through a big bad breakup Beck's Sea Change totally destroyed me (you know, in a good way, the way music should when you're the saddest). This a..." [+] Reply

"This is a great example of a band saying "screw it" and doing whatever they want. It feels like the band was just like "Hey, no one's gonna hear this album anyways, let's go nuts." It's crazy and goofy and just pure awesome" Reply

"The first big record (album) from Pulp. Songs like "Acrylic Afternoons", "Happy Endings", and of course "Do You Remember The First Time" are such classy tunes. Sounds fresh and great even now, 25 years later." Reply
