"Unlike anything Ive heard from Noel Before, but thats not a bad thing. After a few listens I found myself really enjoying this new record!" Reply
"The starting albums of Mark II, Mark III, and Mark IV are all not given enough credit, each one bringing a new burst of energy to the band. Tommy Bolin brings a fresh guitar attack, and there's hardly a weak song on the album. Stronger than Who Do We Think We are." Reply

"Another good INXS album, but then they all were from Shabooh Shoobah until Full Moon, Dirty Hearts. Not up to the standard of LLT, SS, The Swing, Kick or WTWYA, but not too far behind.

"Too Far to Care combines alt-country and surf rock in a way that feels loose and spontaneous, with Rhett Miller's lyrics sounding plausibly like they could have been written on the back of a cocktail napkin. But this album is far from sloppy or unfocused. The band, pushed along by Ken Bethea’s go..." [+] Reply

"His voice reminds me of how Billie Holiday's sounded on her final album. You can tell that he knew the end was near a very emotional album." Reply

"Greg Dulli's last album with the Whigs before disbanding them to form The Twilight Singers. This sounds better with each listen, maybe could be ranked better with more listens. "Somethin' Hot' and "Uptown Again" are my favorites on this right now." Reply
