"An improvement on Boys & Girls in my opinion. Brittany finds more moments on this record to make her voice shine and the result is some astoundingly solid, enjoyable tracks."  Reply

"I think people are spending too much time comparing it to their best album whatever that might be, instead of just listening. When you compare albums then you will miss out on loving it. Now for the album, I love it all, maybe one or two tracks near the end not as much but there's plenty to love ..."  [+]  Reply

"When considered as a whole, this album is a sprawling trip into an otherworldly stream of consciousness. Sometimes lulling you blissfully, other times urging your body to be moved with emotion. The already established featured artists on this record adapt perfectly to the cross-genre blending, ne..."  [+]  Reply

"The music sounds tighter, less loose than previous records although it isn't quite as memorable. The songs do grow on you over a period of time and it's still growing on me. I still don't know whether it's as good as, Yellow house, or, Veckatamist, but it's certainly different. Sounding less rust..."  [+]  Reply

"Formula jazz, opening statement, everyone gets a solo, drum solo, repeat the opening and end. When this pattern started to play out in Parisian Thoroughfare I bailed. Nice and all but not very inventive."  Reply

"Baffles me why people put walk among us or legacy of brutality on their charts when clearly this is the superior album. Unfortunately not released till the 90s people had to rely on those release which had overdubs by the singer due to not wanting to pay royalties to his past band mates.I find it..."  [+]  Reply

"Don't lose your mind like that, you may now think this is one of the best records ever, but you'll look back at this comment in one or two years and you'll be like "Oh God, why?" The more you listen to music, the more music has to be special to satisfy you. And this is actually nothing really spe..."  [+]  Reply
