"I'm finally starting to get this album. Full of different moods caused by electronic sounds, real instruments and a variety of interesting vocal samples. Quite cool album, feels like walking in a subway. Best songs are probably "Burning Wheel" and "Star"." Reply

"This is the album that earned the groop the affectionate nickname of "moog terrorists" among fans. This is mostly pop music, composed of multi-layered analog synthesizers (far more melodic and harmonious than on previous work), combined with Marx-influenced and anarchist lyrics, Can-like bass rif..."

"This really should be considered an EP since half the album is just soundtrack background music. But if considered as a whole album it is easily their worst." Reply

"It's subdued, introspective, jazzy, perhaps even "sedate," almost a callback to the Beatnik Era, complete with the dingy 50's kitchen curtain and the stained coffee mug going cold on the side table as you chain-smoked Turkish cigarettes, the sort of album you probably wouldn't put on for your gir..."

"Really good, track for track, but you could cut three or four songs here without missing anything. Otherwise, terrific songwriting--if a little samey--and even better production." Reply

"Swooning in to rescue late 80's radio from dreck like late career Phil Collins, Michael Bolton and Roxette, Orbison's voice was a beautiful relief." Reply

"No one is more in the bag for this record. It took To Pimp a Butterfly to beat it for my AOTY the year their debut was released. The Underside of Power does not have the immediacy of Algiers' self-titled, which is really to this record's benefit. There's more room for variety, for atmosphere, for..." [+] Reply
