"Very underrated album. It is very comparable to "So". I think it's actually better, and second only to PG III. Much of it is more creative than "So" although Steam really is a sequel to Sledgehammer. There is nothing on "So" as dark and nasty as Digging in the Dirt or as clever and slimy as Kiss ..."

"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

"In this record The Mahavishnu Orchestra flutuates between nice melodic phrases and virtuoso showoff. For a musician, you can spot all of their musical tricks after a few listens and that's a boring cause there's not much more left than that. Unlike Zappa, McLaughlin and Goodman are way to excited..." [+] Reply

"This was the perfect follow up to Reign in Blood. They were never going to top the fury of that album, but by taking it down a notch they showed a different side and it worked well." Reply
