"OK, maybe it was my more up-beat sensibility at the time (which hasn't really changed that much in the thirty-odd years since - a killer riff in an upbeat pop song is still irresistible), but I think this album is a classic and one of my all-time favourites. Basic synth pop of its time but the ba..." [+] Reply

"A rock classic. Bad company takes up where Free left off with a superb collection of bluesy rock tunes. The standouts are, can't get enough, movin' on, and the title track. Enjoyable rock'n'roll." Reply

"One of the most captivating and gorgeous ambient records out there. I remember being somewhat bored once Pop 4 came along. But now this is one of the best records of the 2000's. Probably Top 10 material in my book. Wonder how I would have felt of this record in the year 2000. Probably wouldn't ha..." [+] Reply

"I thibk this is one of the best albums from 1981 and from the 80s. This was the culminate point of them carreer. There's no album sounding like this. They had a sound witch combine New Romantic and Synth-Pop with oriental music. David Sylvian's voice and compositions are amazing, Mike Karn was th..." [+] Reply

"Yes, it can get a little ridiculous in its final acts, but you have to admire it as an artistic statement. A radical and fresh mixture of Brazilian rhythms and rock music." Reply

"Stunningly crisp psychedelic rock out of San Fran. Some of the cleanest instrumentals that you can find from the era appear on this album. Very nice-sounding and well-recorded on the whole. The vocals, while passionate, lack some of the coolness that I enjoy about the instruments. One of the best..." [+] Reply

"Great album and a huge improvement on their previous album. The first three tracks are a bomb, the rest of the album has a great flow with good moments like Tidal Wave" Reply

"I much prefer this album to 'Pictures at an Exibition'. It is a more melodic and cohesive affair. I particularly like 'Battlefield' which give 'Yes' and 'Genesis' a run for their money. I am not so keen on the way Keith Emerson chose to play his Moog, for example 'Aquatarkus' is a very 'plinky pl..." [+] Reply

"It's strange listening to and sharing my thoughts about this project as Taylor Skye (one half of the duo) is a close friend, so I've been witness to Jockstrap's rise over the past five years and know some of what has gone into their debut. With that being said, and trying to remain as objective a..." [+] Reply

"Solid start to her career. It's not very consistent and it's a bit repetitive, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. There's some genuine, cathartic angst here and some beautiful honesty, even if it feels a bit slickly produced for what's actually being expressed. The punky songs (Brutal and Good 4 U) ar..."
