"This is a really cool collection of songs, that feels like more than the sum of its parts. The opener is the obvious highlight, but the rest is very good as well" Reply

"Billed as his possible last album, PPD is a renaissance of sorts for the man, with the album revisiting one of his classic lp's - The Idiot. Whilst not as good, it is nice to hear him successfully come back with some of his best material in years." Reply

"The moods and feelings that the music on this album generates are cerebral in nature, akin to an outer body experience.

These records tend to be incredibly underrated in the western-world, especially in compa..." [+] Reply
"82-87 isn't 5 years, it's 6 years, count them. 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87. so it's 8 records full of "noisy trash-songs" in SIX years! it's interesting though how the lowest rating comes from a guy who comments like that, you know this must be good stuff! I don't know what the "unhelpful" votes were ..." [+] Reply

"Because of the little instrumental tracks/vignettes this is not an album that is easy to rate solely on tracks alone but as a whole is second only to Electro Shock Blues in the Eels studio catalogue. It may take a couple of listens to really grow on you so don't give up on it!" Reply

I've been in a handful of debates about it the last years and it always comes to the same conclusion: I don't like it to the same de..." [+] Reply

"Honestly this is where Pantera loses me just a little. The vocals take a turn that is too guttural for me. Almost screaming. I just prefer his angry, yet clear vocals." Reply

"So much emotion is evoked through their whimsical electronica... I do prefer their revolutionary debut, but this is another excellent record from Yellow Magic Orchestra with beautiful melodies and lots of inventive, crazy fun !" Reply
