"A precurser to Hex from 1980, track for track it more or less equals anything in the Fall's cannon, except for the inevitable token out-there experimental track of WMC Blob 59 which doesn't really serve much purpose. There's wonderful wordplay in English Scheme and New Face In Hell, tales of Hitl..." [+] Reply
"Awesome album. Favorites: The Fat Man, Please Don't Leave Me, Ain't That A Shame." Reply
"The album is not as bad as I'll make it sound but these are real issues. The whole record sounds a like an white easy listening version of black soul. It's a bipolar record where they try to do something sophisticated but also appeal to classy rich people by making it as inoffensive as it can be...." [+] Reply

"If this record would have been released by anyone else but David Bowie it would get more respect. I admit it is a little long and some of the tracks could have been eliminated.

"I found it pretty enjoyable and compared to Recovery, Encore and Relapse (that last album is just a shame) it's pretty good. Rap God, Love Game, Headlights, Bad Guy are definitely my stand out tracks. And So Much Better is hilarious, no disrespect to the ladies. And if you compare it to a rapper ..." [+] Reply

"I definitely prefer the sludgier side of Mastodon to their melodic side, but this album has a nice mix of both. Easily their most mainstream release, which in itself makes it kind of unique in their catalog. Curl the Burl easily stands out as my favourite song." 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
"This album is very synth-heavy, vocal-light and compressed. It feels extremely insular. There are effects warping the instrumentals creating a clostrophobic mood with the female lead singer's voice desperately chirping amidst tinny dubstep to be free." Reply
