"Un Poco Loco is a real standout track on this album. My first impression is that the rest is less interesting, at least compared to his adventurous peer, Thelonious Monk." Reply
"Another great album from UMO. They're really great at mining totally fresh sounds by deconstructing various genres and pinching elements from all over the place. Hunnybee might be my favourite song of the year so far." 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

"Much more straight forward pop structures but it still works. Would I Lie to You, There Must Be An Angel (Playing with My Heart), Sisters are Doing it For Themselves are among their best and classic work. The rest of the album brings much to the table as well." Reply

"Brought me back to hip-hop after I grew tired of the lack of creativity in the late 90s. It's got old-school sampling, great flow, and original beats. Better yet, no cliched lyrics. A triumph of hip-hop that they've been yet to beat." Reply

"They were invited to the White House, under the guise that they would not play one particular song. They played 'American Woman' anyway, and were kicked out. How badass is that?" Reply

"Of course it's no Remain In Light or Fear of Music, but it's certainly a good deal better than Little Creatures or True Stories. Doesn't deserve to be the lowest rated Talking Heads album here." Reply
