"with Iris being possibly the best rock ballad EVER written and the rest of the album being a decent soft rock collection it bugs my mind how in the world this album is not in top 10 of '98 on this site." Reply

"This album makes Art Angels look like an outlier in her discography cuz this feels like a closer sonic successor to Visions. It pulls back on a lot of the bombast of Art Angels, for better or worse, but its not necessarily a decline in quality. But that also makes it easier to explore, fall in lo..." [+] 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 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

"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

"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

"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
