"Not only is this enjoyable pop, but the lyrics are either very witty, or very powerful. 22 is cruelly depressing, Chinese was the sweetest song I've heard in a while, Back To The Start was disturbingly relatable, and Him gave me chills. Very strong piece of work here." Reply

"If there's one Los Lobos album that cannot be ignored it is undoubtedly "Kiko". You can draw parallels to the Kinks' '"Village Green Preservation Society" or the Beatles' "Sgt Pepper's." Two albums that have become classics because musical details have met in a higher unity. These three albums ha..." [+] Reply
"Still letting this one seep into the soul. It’s a stunningly expansive piece of work that feels like a single piece that ebbs and flows seemlessly. The orchestral touches are unobtrusively embedded in the music as well. In time there will be tracks that rise above others in my consciousness but a..." [+] Reply

"Not a very original album for the post-punk genre. There are traces of Joy Division, Interpol, Wire, The Strokes, and even some Stooges thrown all over the record. But anyway, not every album has to be a groundbreaking milestone of some kind, right? The songs are raw-sounding and pretty well-writ..." [+] Reply

"Essential listening in the "Mott the Hoople" catalogue, and one of the great albums of the seventies. Stand out tracks are "All the Way from Memphis," "Hymn for the Dudes," and "I wish I were Your Mother," however there isn't a weak song on the entire album. Although Mott's LPs "All the Young Dud..."
