"Not Sade's best album and it does drag in places but she is a totally enchanting presence regardless. Definitely worth listening for its stand out tracks." Reply
"It's definitely a daunting album. 16 tracks, and only one is under 4 minutes (its 3:58). It doesn't feel quite as monotonous as that that would make it seem, because lots of tracks have hidden little interlude beats or other things that add a little variety to the feel.

"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.
