"Head music, is an underrated album. Alright, it's certainly not their best, but it's a good record. Some great songs here; electricity, she's in fashion, everything will flow, and, can't get enough, are all excellent Suede songs. Head music, deserves a bit more recognition, it's certainly better ..." [+] Reply
"Excellent composition, beautifully delivered. I like this one even more than the more acclaimed Journey." Reply

"It's definitely not my thing (I'm a 54 year-old male). However, I do appreciate that she is exhibiting more talent than most of today's new music artists in any genre. That said, I prefer Jewel's "Pieces of You" which was recorded in 1995 when she was 21." Reply

""Beat Your Ass" picks up on "Inside-Out" and gives the swift kick in the ass the album title suggests. They're back with some upbeat guitar pop ready to take names and they want YOU to know it. That wry smirk of yours has Yo La Tengo written all over it." Reply

"Really good album. I’ve never heard anything like it in terms of genre blending. I was completely blown away at parts. I think it tapers off towards the end in terms of quality songs." Reply
"The first half of the album feels so perfect that as some people would say "it insists upon itself". However, from track six the vibe of the album is a bit deeper and you can sense a sort of soul out there that make it, all in all, a fair album. Invisible is a standout here..." Reply

"Not quite as uncompromising as their debut; while Entertainment has a unique punk feel to it, this settles in to a more typical post-punk sound. The anger is still there though, and there is still some edge to the guitars as well. Pretty good follow-up to one of the best debuts of all time." Reply

"This superbly orchestrated album is full of imposing and intense arrangements that merge Slavic-style hymns, Gregorian liturgy, Celtic folk music, Tibetan chants and Renaissance Madrigals. The stately symphonic overtones evoke early King Crimson with a modern twist." Reply
