"Bland is one of the five greatest singers of all time. His voice, tone, phrasing are wonderful. And this album is a masterpiece every bit with many jewels like "I'll Take Care Of You", the tittle track and above all, "Lead Me On". You know how it feels-you understand What is it to be a stranger, ..." [+] Reply

"Of course everybody refers to their first album as their best but in my opinion this album is nearly as good; not only because it has their best track (Ever Fallen In Love) but also because all the other ones are top Buzzcocks as well (with Operators Manual as the second best)." Reply

"I liked this album a lot more than I initially anticipated. A couple of the songs on this were really, really good. I especially liked the songs Rattle that Lock and In Any Tongue." Reply
"Top notch pop music. Not much more to it, but who cares? Ariana doesn’t for sure, she’s young, hot and succesful." Reply

"The album begins with some great cover versions. The second part dissolves in less coherent pieces and falls apart a bit. I really like the addition of the Hammond organ on this album, as well as the drumming, which is great. Overall a 70 or 75/100." Reply

"This is an underrated album. It's often considered forgettable, but I think this is a pretty consistent album in terms of the quality of the tracks. The album is very much influenced by reggae-rock with some funk, blues and disco thrown in there. Less rock n' roll than I would've liked, but overa..." [+] Reply

"The skeletal beats on show here were a genre being birthed – not actually at the point of genesis, but becoming a style in its own right, and one to be contended with.
