"This is one of those albums that most people wouldn't know what to do with. It's part broadway musical, part dr. demento -sounding parody, part discombobulated doo-wop-r&b-synth-arena-rock with a lot of interspersed narrative. It's a perverted mess. Sometimes i really like it. Sometimes it just t..." [+] Reply

"In Marley's discography this is likely his most undervalued studio release. Discussion of the work usually centers around the subject matter, which is at first reasonable, because the political lyrical content stands out in Marley's body of work.

"It's not bad but there are too many songs that just go on for about ten minutes where nothing really happens. Maiden struggle to write memorable melodies these days and there are certainly a lack of those here. Once a song has finished it's hard to remember anything about it. It sounds good and t..."

"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

"Every year there seems to be an album in the noise rock, post-punk scene that seemingly appears out of nowhere. This is that album in 2023." Reply

"It's that great Kinks thing of optimistic uplifting music with pessimistic depressing lyrics. His voice is fantastic and I'd say this is better than their debut. It's more cohesive. It's 21st Century young adult troubles funneled into blissful and meticulous electro-pop." Reply

"Gorgeous laid back suite of ice cool jazz. This concoction must be one of the best jazz albums of the 60's." 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
