"One of the most underrated albums of the 70’s. It’s not a classic like Imagine, but it’s better than most critics made out at the time. I listen to it a lot. No9 Dream is gorgeous. Whatever gets you through the night great fun and Scared a lost classic. Deserves more attention." Reply

"Debut album. How can you not love The Pogues. Such buoyant music. They only got better with their next couple of albums" Reply
"(Excellent pop album. Varied with excellent hooks and melodies and the vocals are lowkey emotional. I don't have much of value to say about this. It is just a quality album start to finish.)
