"Highly promising debut album, there are some instances where he's given more than he can handle, but that's always a danger when going all out on diversity.

"Defining album (Along with Rumours) of its time. Hard to explain to those who weren't around, but this was one of those "must have" records. Still dig it - especially the last track." Reply

"I'm kinda obsessed. This is so good. Disarmingly honest lyrics about romantic relationships, queer awakenings and becoming your true self. On top of that, amazing hooks and her voice is excellent. Add to that some polished production, and you've got a really winning pop album" Reply

"Great album. Very under rated. All MK II albums are all on very level par (as in all fucking great) and this is up there with them. That is what defines Deep Purple as one of the all time greatest rock acts to emerge, the amount of legendary albums to come out in a short time span. MK II that is,..." [+] Reply

"The best album that George made throughout his entire discography. An album that shows a pop star from the 80's show a sense of maturity and having honesty through a hardship that never went away until his unfortunate death. This album has aged pretty well with the production having a twilight an..." [+] Reply
