"One of the few albums of the '80s that still don't sound ridicolous. Some of the best songs ever wrote by Paul Weller and a jazzy feeling that is absolutely fresh and enjoyable, even after 25 years." Reply
"I read an iTunes review of this album where someone complained that Leonard Cohen was so old he was just talking through his songs now. What they must not have realized is that Cohen has always done that. In his younger days he sang a little bit, but since the late 70s, he basically talk-sings hi..." [+] Reply

"Always found this to be a bit overrated. The first track is by far the best. It all comes across as kind of a bit lo fi. Maybe it's intentional because of the jazz thing but the beats and bass sound like they're in another room. The tone is set on track 2 when I'm waiting for a colossal bass that..." [+] Reply

"Best song is Love Nest. A bit of a difficult album to get into though." Reply

"For those who enjoyed the pop/rnb fidelity of LP1... ... strap yourselves in" Reply
"Another brilliant Frank Zappa when he was at his solo best. The torture never stops, is one of his all time great tracks and, wind up workin' in a gas station, is a great opener. One of Zappa's ten essential albums." Reply

"I forgot how much I liked this album. There is an underlying groove which makes up for some of the repetitive content. Side A is stronger than side B. Different to Happy Mondays but it was this album that got me to buy their back catalogue. Overall this is my favourite Shaun Ryder album." Reply
"It should be made absolutely clear that this is bright shiny disco pop tunes, and nothing but it. If that is your kind of thing, this is a GREAT compilation from start to finish.
