"A true gem of an album that is very underrated. From the opening bass of Street Fighting Years to the haunting and magical guitar rifts, creative percussions, atmospheric keyboards and orchestral sounds of all the tracks, this is a great listen. It has strong political, human rights and emotional..."  [+]  Reply

"I might go as far to say this is my favourite album to listen to ever, but I feel it's not really an album in the sense everything else is, so I'm abstaining it from my chart. If there was one thing The Beatles weren't so good at it was creating a cohesive body of work - even Sgt. Peppers Feels m..."  [+]  Reply

"The first cinematic and neon lit masterpiece from the Blue Nile. Like it's successor, hats, it's that perfect late night album, at the time between midnight and dawn. Romantic and lovely."  Reply

"Great psychedelic almost instrumental album. Parts of the music on side two could fit a cowboy movie, given the drama created between the guitar and rhythm section. Perhaps this was intended looking at the rear off the sleeve artwork and text. It offers something different to a lot of the psyched..."  [+]  Reply

"Feels like a slightly stripped down and perhaps more immediate piece of work from Simz in comparison to the epic conceptual heights of her previous album 'Sometimes I Might Be Introvert', mixed with a dash of SAULT-esque rootsiness via the occasional inclusion of traditional percussion or gospel ..."  [+]  Reply

"My first exposure to Doves was this album. I had heard about The Last Broadcast, but my local record store only had this one in stock. The experience was pretty predictable. Mind-blown. Totally floored. Went online and ordered their discography. I'm always impressed by how many layers they can ca..."  [+]  Reply
