"The songs are strong but I have an issue with the bombastic orchestral production...less (a lot less) might have been more for this album." Reply
"The Monkees most solid effort by virtue of being more of Mike Nesmith and less of everyone else, though still too much Davy Jones. Mike sings Salesman, Door Into Summer, Love Is Only Sleeping, What Am I Doin' Hanging 'Round?, and Don't Call On Me. Mickey Dolenz does well on Words, Pleasant Valley..." [+] Reply

"Very laid back acoustic sort of album. It wouldn't come as a surprise if this was recorded on a cold and grey beach like the one on the album cover. Boat Behind and Peacetime Resistance are both great but most of the others sound a bit too plain for me." Reply
"(To alelsupreme) ...Although delayed some years...

"Don't not be swayed by all of the negative and ambivalent ratings this deserves a much higher spot in these charts. Talented vocals, multifaceted dimensions, able to master the test of high volume levels. Absolutely bloody brilliant!" Reply

""Dido's second album contains no less than 4 big radio hits ( "White Flag", "Life For Rent", "Don't Leave Home" and "Sand in My Shoes" ) and at least one or two more are potential hit singles. Dido has a voice than can easily be distinguised from the majority of the female pop-singers of today. (..." [+] Reply
"This is where Megadeth starts to go for more hard rock than pure heavy metal, but they do it with mostly awesome success. Dave was at his vocal peak here as well. Train of consequences, Toute le Monde, and reckoning day are among the bands classic songs. The band began a slow decline after this a..." [+] Reply
"Amazing hairs stand up music. Only ever had a few of traks off this at the time and wish I'd had the full album as only had it couple of years. 88 man. Very efficient indeed." Reply
