"Side one starts out with a couple of downtempo, dreamy explorations, but the rest of the album is more energetic and toe-tapping, though of course modal and a bit abstract.

"I gave all Styx albums are real beating back in the 80s. This one is no exception. However I have to say although it was their most successful in terms of chart position, I do not rate this album as highly as their predecessor. Side One is pretty solid, but I find the first couple of tracks on Si..." [+] 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

"There is no doubt that this artist has once been a fan of Damien Rice. And that he gets a lot of hate because he writes beutiful songs that kids like too. Yes "too". It's the Coldplay Syndrome or guilty pleasure that messes up someones I guess already fragile macho self-image. There is no wheel-i..." [+] Reply
"Gotta love Daniel, it takes a a special person to be able to make a classic album in their brother's garage using only his nephews/nieces toys." Reply

"It's terrible, it's horrible, it's awful, it's asinine, it's a crime against my own ears... ...that I've waited until now to listen to this album! This is funky! Yowza!" Reply

"Arguably the best metal album released in the past 25 years. It can be quite impenetrable to some though with how nuts it is at times which is understandable. It's quite all over the place and yet somehow still manages to flow like the ocean in it's notion to play out as a single, carefully calcu..." [+] Reply
"Absolutely brilliant album, gives me chills every listen, a close second behind "The Mantle". Not quite as good but a pioneering work by the band, the album consists of some of their greatest work with ground-shattering tracks like "Limbs" or "Unlike the Waves"." Reply
