"The singles are excellent but the rest is a bit ropey. Example : The Piper, The Way Old Friends Do, and Andante Andante charter new depths into how cringe-worthy you can get." Reply

"A great journey, so raw and intense. Obviously still a little rough round the edges but a fantastic release, beats and instrumentation flow perfectly. Portrays this modern, futuristic city that you feel you're flying through." Reply

"Hugely successful comeback after the disappointing Soul to Soul. Stevie at his best here, still laying down some blazing blues, but having refined his craft even a step further. He also does a nice job shifting from blues to jazz on the closer, 'Riviera Paradise.'" Reply

"Can't help wondering what could've happened if this band stayed together. This record is a classic - great band that flat out jams. And Paul Rodgers has one of those one-of-a kind, soul-filled voices." Reply

"So far the best Bad Religion album I've heard. Much better than the previous ones. Much more varied, and very interesting lyrics.
