"This is actually quite an underrated album. It's certainly Faith no more's most diverse and eclectic album. It features all kinds of sounds from metal to country, from funk to ballads, all delivered in that unique FNM way. A very good album, you may not realise how good it actually is." Reply

"Ryan Adams may be a pretentious prick, but the man can write a song, no question about it. When he's not putting out multiple albums per year, and focuses, albums like this can happen. This sounded great right when it came out, I ranked this #5 in my 2002 rankings originally, and it only sounds b..." [+] Reply

"Most underrated album of 2009 next to Fantasies by Metric. Does this website or do the people on it have something against catchy modern alternative pop/rock music? Because this stuff is actually really good if you drop the preconceptions and just give it a chance. I don’t think there’s a single ..." [+] Reply

"This is an escapist album filled with magic and intrigue from start to finish. If you want to be take to a surrealistic dark forest with witches and amoebas this is a good place to start. It can take a while to get used to, but with an open mind could easily become your favourite. "May the long t..." [+] Reply

"Whatever else you say about this album...it's definitely unique. The lyrical content has a certain sense of of humor and the music is certainly different from most of the heavy arena rock bands of the day. It's a bit corny at times, but it definitely gets points for originality." Reply

"This album is all over the place but not in a bad way. Track 1 is pretty poppy and fun, track 2 has a middle eastern vibe to it but still sounds like it could be the same album as track 1. Then track 3, Pyramid of Bones, comes on and I’m blindsided by a straight up metal track. There are some mom..." [+] Reply

"Hearkening back to the quick-moving bebop jazz of the 50s, this record has some swiftness to it! Hancock is great on piano, but I think the highlight of the entire album is Fred Hubbard on trumpet. He threw everything he had at this album and it pretty much all stuck." Reply

"I'm glad to see that this album gets at least a little love on this site. I thought it might be down there in obscurity with Daniel Lanois' albums. I feel like more people might love it if they heard it. In some ways I feel like this is a Daniel Lanois album with Emmylou Harris on vocals. It cont..." [+] Reply
