"She's at least not secretive about who inspired her... well... I'm gonna assume the title refers directly to the band she sounds like almost identically. Now of course it isn't an exact copy; the vocals and riffs are a bit too ugly (not a negative word) for the heavily polished rawness of britpop..." [+] Reply

"I'm surprised this album doesn't get more attention. There's lots to love here, especially the first three tracks, but the whole album is great. Impressive debut." Reply

"I believe this was their best album with Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) one of the greatest songs ever written. Love is A Stranger, I've Got An Angel, Jennifer and This is the House are also great tracks. The group was at the cutting edge with their synth sound, lyrics and Annie's powerful voice." Reply

"To many Baez is a difficult singer to like, her piercing voice was almost too much. Most of the songs were much of the same style and tone" Reply
