"I struggle to warm to this one - it feels like they're trying to repeat Thick As A Brick, but don't quite make the mark. It has its flashes, but I don't return to this one as often. The last of their prog-heavy records before they momentarily became poppier, before exploring English folk influences." Reply

"This is a really good album, almost sounds like a Beatles' tribute/pastiche at times especially on the wonderful Laura, a kind of John Lennon psychedelic ballad, and the drony, Scandinavian skies. The middle eight of surprises sounds just like George Harrison too. The first half of the album is p..." [+] Reply

"Much better than MC5 indeed, than the NY Dolls as well, and about as great as The Stooges at their peak. Some really dirty-ass proto-punk with furious guitar riffs, a flawless record, and it's only 25 minute long. Get on it." Reply

"I like this far more than their previous release, Smother, which I found to be rather boring and mediocre. This one on the other hand beholds some nice melodies and harmonies and a cool synthy and light vibe to it." Reply

"It's a toss up between this one and No Prayer for the dying for my least favourite Bruce Dickinson Maiden album I was so disappointed when I heard this after their three previous triumphant return of Bruce albums. I tried listening to it on numerous occasions as people kept saying how good it is ..." [+] Reply

"(This is an awe-inspiring return by this duo after 16 years of no LPs released. Perhaps the darkest and most hopeless album I've heard this year - I suppose it helps that I can't understand the words in the new Knoll and Ad Nauseam and other death/grind albums - and also one of the better and mor..."

"Not quite as strong as my favourite Weather Report albums (Mysterious Traveller, Live in Tokyo, Tale Spinnin'), but not very far behind. Has the same breezy, summery vibe as Tale Spinnin', but isn't quite as successful in its execution, occasionally lapsing into moments that feel a little too for..." [+] Reply

"'Stick With Me Baby', 'Lucille' and 'Cathy's Clown' are some highlights here. My personal favorite is their original version of 'Love Hurts', recorded about a decade before Nazareth popularized it with their fantastic cover. Overall, a great album and one of my favourites from the Everly Brothers." Reply
