"C'mon. There's some classic/great tracks on here (message,Scorpio,it's nasty) but dreamin and you are, are just horrible. Stevie wonder they were not. Singles wise they were up there with the best of the 80s, album wise no." Reply

"A cool beach. Hours after the rain and the world is still. The clouds are there and the place is quite empty because it's not the holiday. Dreaded November. There is reason to smile. 'Dreaming Of You' is holding onto hope with burnt hands. But it all doesn't matter. Miserable weather is what you ..." [+] Reply

"“Knocking at Your Back Door” is so rousing! The title track stands out too. Really not a bad song on the album. This is the best work they’d done in years." Reply

"Sort of a new way to render No Wave. There is melody but without any logic direction in its evolution. Instead, the focus is all on the martial/obsessive drum patterns or in the pictorial use of guitars. What's interesting and intriguing is that this kind of No Wave does not sacrifice care on sou..."

"With this album, Bon Jovi proved they were legit and grunge wasn't going to push them into retirement. This is a focused rock record that combines the fun of arena rock with the seriousness of modern rock at the time. It also features some of Richie Sambora's best ever guitar playing. Little Bit ..."
