"Holding is a justifiable classic and is the song that got this band famous. But its on tracks such as Picture book that shows Hucknall's talent - the man can flat out sing." Reply

"An A-side to die for followed by a rather disappointing B-side (not bad, mind you, just a disappointment when following what came before it). The best track is the stellar version of Robert Johnson's Walkin' Blues followed by Work Song which features some of the best blues harmonica ever put on r..." [+] Reply

"My first impression of this album is that it's a mixed bag. Some of the tracks sound a bit silly with Parker jamming at high speed over a gentle string section, while others mesh really well. More listens are needed." Reply
"Mix about two parts stadium-era Simple Minds with one part Big Chair-era Tears for Fears and you'll have a pretty good idea what to expect here. Singer and main songwriter Gustavo Cerati even sounds like the perfect cross between Jim Kerr and Roland Orzabal. It doesn't get much more '1986' than t..." [+] Reply
"Sure, this might be a soundtrack to a video game that will likely soon be forgotten, but the music here really is beautiful, coherent, and moving. That being said, the album itself isn't perfect. It starts and ends strong, but every few tracks or so you'll find a throwaway that is flawed by disru..." [+] Reply
"Not as great as his debut but still a strong follow up & Paris, Tokyo an instant favorite." Reply

"This is my favourite of the early beach boys albums, at least up until the, today album. They've really found their feet, and seem to know exactly what they're doing. The album opens with the absolutely beautiful title track. Stunning. Catch a wave, is a giddy hoot. Surfer moon, is another nice o..." [+] Reply

"Nothing but the greatest country album AND the greatest acoustic singer/songwriter album in the same package. Includes the classic Me and Bobby McGee of course, but another four or five lesser known tracks are just as brilliant, To Beat the Devil being the foremost. If you don't like Kris Kristof..."
