"Good lyrics. Decent melodies, although not very varied. It is very well performed and produced. Not a lot of songs here would be memorable hits, but some songs are still catchy within this post Britpop style. Worth a second listen, IMO. 9/10!" Reply
"She has a great voice. But the overall album is pretty average/boring." Reply

"I really like how minimalistic and raw this feels, paired with the screeching, dissonant VU-esque violins in here every so often, it really has this really great quirky vibe to it. I can imagine just a bunch of friends jamming in a garage and thinking "fuck it, let's get it recorded". Also it's p..." [+] Reply

"I've heard some people call this better than Band on the Run. Can't say I agree, but it is a damn good record that is a high point for Wings. Particularly the first 6-7 tracks are fab. And it's immaculately produced. There's a great article about Paul being a pop auteur, and I think I can get beh..." [+] Reply

"(A really beautiful, at times philosophical, serene singer/songwriter album with just a really peaceful atmosphere and thought-provoking themes.)

"For all you "smooth rock" fans out there, this is essentially the British equivalent of Yacht Rock. Whereas the 70s American yacht rock was breezy & upbeat, the New Romantics were somber & arty. Owes a sizable debt to Roxy Music. fave track: Backwaters" Reply
