"THE most underrated album in music. The instrumentation is nothing to write home about save the wonderful steel guitar, but THE LYRICS are some of the best ever written. It's like being broken up with and having a series of epiphanies through fits of crying. Knowing that you both tried your best,..."  [+]  Reply

"Couple of great songs on this (Teenage Angst, Nancy Boy). More placed on the average scale though. Going off on a bit of a rant here. I hate the hidden track concept. After 'Swallow' there's a 10 minute gap of silence then it goes into an instrumental piece that's actually quite good. It would of..."  [+]  Reply

"I can't help but grow tired of the Eastern Europe fanfare feel after the first half. Shame though, guy sure can write a song, has a good voice, and a 00s classic in "Nantes". Good album, very good if you're more partial to the stylistic treatment than I am."  Reply

"This is actually very decent. Much better than the crap they've been putting out in the last 10 years. Here they atleast have some energy and a couple of really strong singles."  Reply

"I stood right up in the heart of hell and proclaimed this album a second masterpiece by VF. While some listeners may be turned off by the over religious overtones of some of the songs, I found the music to be eclectic, apoplectic, eccentric, energetic, and affecting. I disagree with previous rate..."  [+]  Reply

"A great psychedelic album. It has all the elements to make it a really interesting listen and it is! Organ, Mellotron (incorrectly spelt in the Sleeve notes) harpsichord, harmonica, flute, saxaphone, searing guitars, tambura and sitar. Comparing 'Dealer' with 'Utterly Simple' the two tracks like ..."  [+]  Reply

"I think the cover art is really more iconic than the album itself. While most of Daniel's work is brilliant I wouldn't call this his best. It's a little less mature than Yip/Jump and 1990, so I'm not really sure why it gets the most praise (maybe because Kurt Cobain constantly cited it as a favor..."  [+]  Reply

"While my tastes generally synchronize with BEA's, in some occasions I find we divulge, and this seems to be the case now. This album is magnificent (as well as Kaputt), and seems to be, in my opinion, just as strong as any of Radiohead's best work. Bejar sings with a dynamic fervor that easily ca..."  [+]  Reply
