"Some weak lyrics here and there and some slightly generic metal riffs, but the instrumentation and vocal delivery are gorgeous. Not a masterpiece, but a good enough symphonic metal album. Mother Earth and Never-ending story are the highlights for me." Reply

"Not quite up there with those five classic albums from 72-76, still it's decent, and probably Wonder's last quality record. Good LP." Reply

"One of the great disco albums ever. Donna summer plays the 'tart with a heart' on this hugely influential LP. Working again with Giorgio Moroder, this is a brilliant concept album featuring superb tracks such as, hot stuff, sunset people, and the title track. There's a couple of ballads but most ..."

"Probably the most light hearted album I've ever heard, I bet if The Strokes came out before this people would think of this as a parody album! That said its pretty good. Just straight up rock and roll with no pretense, classic post-punk revival." Reply

"There's really something beautiful about these albums, about everything J Spaceman and Sonic Boom do. An existential longing for meaning, comfort, home. They don't seek concrete answers, just disparate feelings and emotions. Like a last gasp, trying to find one small reason to live, with failed e..." [+] Reply

"I'm suprised that I'm the first to rate this, considering the "Eighties/Come As You Are" debacle. In any case, this whole album is the epitome of cool. It's legit. You guys need to go to more goth clubs." Reply

"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
"A brilliant and energetic record. Kilimanjaro, is yet another of those great British albums of the late seventies/early eighties. Some fine songs in, sleeping gas, treason, and, when I dream. The CD adds the Japanese mini-album version featuring the absolutely brilliant, reward, surely the teardr..." [+] Reply
