"Highly underrated on this sight. I was surprised to see it ranked so low. For me this is easily in Bob’s top 5 albums. Positive Vibration, Roots, Rock, Reggae, Crazy Baldman, Who The Cap Fit, War and Rat Race are favs of mine." Reply

"One of the more 'acoustic' sounding affairs which quite rightly befits the album title. More folky than the progressive leanings of Thicks As A Brick and Aqualung. A fine album. Baker St Muse is the standout track for me, this has a more 'progressive' feel to it." Reply

"A pretty good rollicking hard rock debut. Strutter is excellent, Nothin' to Lose and Deuce are very strong. The inclusion of Love Theme from Kiss remains a mystery as it almost kills the album with two tracks to go." Reply
