"production is quite as dynamic as vdc and the songwriting itself isn't quite as interesting, as well as the album having a less cohesive feel comparatively to vdc. It's a fun listen but it just isn't as good" Reply

"You'd think 2Tone would sound dated, but this is as fresh and joyful as it was in 80. Brilliant collection, from the single Mirror in the Bathroom through Big Shot and Best Friend. Great stuff." Reply

"A really fun listen! Granted, the record sounds a bit dated in some parts, but that doesn't take away from its overall charm. If you like big band music, this one's for you." Reply
