"This is thee classic Joan Armatrading album, the one that put her on the map. Full of great songs Love & Affection, Save Me, Somebody Who Loves You & Down To Zero being the stand out tracks but all the tracks are 80/100 or better, she would never improve on this collection."  Reply

"Really chill album. Nice drumming and flute. Reminiscent of Foxygen but with a more blues & early rock influence. Very different stylistically to 'I'm In Your Mind Fuzz' and 'Nonagon Infinity'. Track Picks: 'The Bitter Boogie', 'Sense' , 'Most of What I Like'"  Reply

"I agree, very solid debut album. I understand the lead singer, Taylor Momsen, was a child actress, but I was too old to see her in any of that kind of programming. I can't weigh in on her acting ability, but she can sing with power."  Reply

"I think this album anticipates a lot of the ostentatiously produced folk music that would become super popular in the last chunk of the decade, which is pretty interesting considering just who it is we're talking about here.

"Suppose you're bored one morning so you decide to time travel back to 1996. When you get there, you happen to run into Beck, Ween, and The Magnetic Fields. So you roofie them all (cuz you're gangsta like that). Then you drag them home and throw them into a blender (cuz you're Dahmer like that). T..."  [+]  Reply
