"Tailored, safe-yet-exciting post-punk. A solid debut album that captures themes of youth in a positive outlook on a downtrodden world. Some stellar guitar work on this record, particularly on Concrete, Friction and Angie. It's hardly the most innovative debut ever, but there's a reason I've been ..." [+] 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

"The moods and feelings that the music on this album generates are cerebral in nature, akin to an outer body experience. Listening to this haunting music late a night in darkness, one can perhaps imagine levitating in a vortex of empty space in which exist ghostly figures in animated suspension be..." [+] Reply

"I used to somewhat derisively call APP “Pop Floyd.” Then, as time went on and I couldn’t stop listening to them, I came to realize that it wasn’t a derogatory nickname at all; what it it meant to me was that they were thoughtful and accessible at the same time. And at their peak they put out very..." [+] Reply

"This is an album packed full of nostalgia and feels like it could have easily been made in the 70's with it giving off that classic feel good energy that is extremely infectious. Every song radiates this positivity in its instrumentation making it lovable and feel personal even if it is just your..." [+] Reply

"A very powerful voice finding a very sweet and deep atmosphere thanks to the beautiful acoustic arangements that contrast with Waters more traditionally electric approach, it sure has a lot of delta in the Robert Johnson vibe but it has more in common to what Rick Rubin would later achieve for Jo..."

"Sometimes I'm glad I completely ignore the ratings & comments on this site before I listen to any sub genres of pop. This is a perfectly fine record without the pretentiousness of a St. Vincent or FKA Twigs record because that's not what this is. Electropop gang FOR LIFE" Reply

"Very good - not as groundbreaking as ASATT but not a step backwards at all; maybe a step to the side, or a jog in place. Faves were Jerrod, Sound of Rain, and Time (Is)." Reply
