"This is my fav. It has it all, love, pain, strife, anger, joy and hope. It's been a great pleasure to listen to Pete's best and rediscover this periodically throughout my adulthood"  Reply

"It doesn't seem like too many others are, but I'm thoroughly impressed w this album. Love the mixture of distortion and synth, and there's a good amount of variety with the production and melodies. A really mature release from a band who I had only expected bouncy, carefree pop from."  Reply

"Not sure why so much hate for this simply because it followed up one of the most loved albums of the past half-decade. For what it is, the album is solid and every song is an ear-worm."  Reply

"The first four songs and the last song are WT classics, and among their best material. The rest? Meh...more the same. Still, those five songs are enough to make this a critical release for the genre. This album showed that WT was better than Evanescence."  Reply

"The best was yet to come, but this isn’t a bad metal record by any means. All the Rob Halford style screeching that Tom was doing felt a little forced and awkward, but the tunes are fun head banging, genre pushing heart pounders."  Reply

"Crazy Rhythms gets all the props but as far as I'm concerned, this is the ultimate Feelies album. It's kind of like the positive version of WL/WH (dig all the healthy positive vibes coming through the insistent massive jamming) and almost as good."  Reply

"A precursor of what was yet to come. This is a very good album and the presence of Neil Peart in the drum stool countered with his lyrical expertise hints to exciting times ahead. Anthem and By Tor set the scene for the classics which will follow"  Reply
