"One of my favorite "Return To Forever" album. Not as critically acclaimed as Corea's early releases but the reincarnation of the group as it appears in this album with Al Di Meola, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White being part of it, remains the best one in my opinion."  Reply

"Combining the cocophonous syncopations of Beefheart, the free-form spastic rhythms of Albert Ayler and the funky dance beats of James Brown, Chance creates a new form of destructured dissonant music for the new wave generation every bit as daring and innovative as the Pop Group and Rip Rig And Pa..."  [+]  Reply

"Amazing album, there are bangers there are tears, there is hell of a lot of glam there are shivers and there is a ton of originality as well as some really fresh tributes to 80s music. The band mixes contemporary indie with some reaally good punk and a touch of pop and trap. (yeah that's a lot bu..."  [+]  Reply

"THIS is the real Fleetwood Mac! The Blues Fletwood Mac, The Peter Green Fleetwood Mac.Thi honestly should be listed as a separate band on this site. It's just different music and different direction. Bless Peter Green's pure soul."  Reply

"T&C is simply a massive album from start to finish blending rock, punk, folk/Celtic, etc in one beautiful collection of songs (long before it was "cool"). Never one to shy away from their convictions and difficult/current topics, T&C excels at story telling, driving emotions and getting your feet..."  [+]  Reply

"Before commenting on the listening process, I have to confess my love for the cover of this album.

"Mad beat poet fronting a junkyard jazz ensemble that would make Tom Waits proud. Absurdist lyrics at their best. It's too bad they never came close to matching this stunning debut again."  Reply
