"They added a lot of new wave and volume to "so jealous" that wasn't there on "if it was you", but the hooks were slightly lost in the process. "The Con" represents the best of their last 2 albums, with all the quick-to-the-point hooks of "if it was you" and the attitude and energy of "so jealous"..." [+] Reply

"I have my own War Of The Worlds story When this album was released as a Double Album in 1978 I was 11 years old and I already had become obsessed with music and I simply had to own this particular release.

"Superb album from a great wordsmith. I think it needs to be listened to/rated by an English audience as some of the language would not mean anything to others. Such a tight band delivering a great selection. Blockheads is a favourite of mine and is normally their encore number. Norman Watt=Roy ha..." [+] Reply

"Dead Cities, Red Seas, & Lost Ghosts is a euphoric album. From beginning to end it is extremely captivating and completely enveloping. The majority of the album is instrumental and the instruments used include synthesizers and drum machines. You might think that this album would get old and borin..." [+] Reply

"I must have listened to this album three times a day for about two months straight back in the beginning of last year. I've completely forgotten about it since then. Kind of funny considering that the album looks like candy, which can be great in mass consumption at the time, but later you realiz..." [+] Reply

"A masterpiece from the late 80s, it was George's big return after five years. Every song has a good atmosphere, and I think it's the album you should listen to from the first until the last song." Reply

"There is an interesting history to this album. Actually Badfinger's third album was ready for release in spring 1971, but for several reasons Apple would not release the album. Some of the songs were re-recorded while others were simply scrapped. Fortunately these songs have surfaced in recent ye..." [+] Reply

"The lyrics are amazing, the work of Richey is more obvious than on Generation Terrorists. This album in particular seems to go unnoticed by some MSP fans, which is a bit unfair in my eyes, because I think it's one of their best, second only to The Holy Bible." Reply

This is a sort and sweet, 33 minute and 7 track singer/songwriter album. The lyrics are pretty and beautifully specific, ruminative and consistently go..." [+] Reply
