"The standout classic album by Sananda Maitreya in his former shape and with his former name. It does not sound as good now as it did when first released. The quality of the singles (T2, T5 & T9) stand out from the othet tracks. T9 was the masterpiece and swansong(? )of a potentially great Contemp..."  [+]  Reply

"Production wise, this album takes Foreigner up a notch. After listening to the first three tracks, three great rockers, you are ready for the ballad Waiting For A Girl Like You. Unfortunately it is followed by the relatively weak Luanne. Side two starts of with one of their best tracks Urgent fol..."  [+]  Reply

"Samba and soul-what a wonderful combination! The strings bring moments of bliss and beauty into the fast paced rhythms, and Jorge’s voice is just so carefree and fun. Truly the finest Brazil has to offer!"  Reply

"I'm a total sucker for this type of music. Hazy, laconic, drugged out. The perfect stuff for a codeine cough syrup bender. To me, it's the ultimate romantic music in the world. Of course, I also think Charlotte Sometimes is the most romantic song in the entire world. While my kids ( & probably mo..."  [+]  Reply

"Having listened to this a few times now, it has really grown on me. This is a rather refreshing album with plenty of hints of 60s soft rock, but with a modern twist, as well as the excellent vocal work of Turner and Kane. The overall sound of the album is really nice. A warm, full-bodied and deta..."  [+]  Reply

"a stupidly strong debut album that smashes genres and has the best swagger from track to track. amazing lyricism, and a really exciting full-length offering from a wicked new star."  Reply

"I don´t understand why critics don´t use to talk about this album as one of the best of his career. It is his most ambitious, complex, conceptual, interesting and longest album. I really think it's one of his 5 greatest masterpieces."  Reply
