"I tend to not think of this as a compilation, but rather all the songs the Vaseline's produced at one time. Fantastic album from beautiful songwriters." Reply

"It lumbers out literally with a mostly-uninteresting "shanty for the arethusa", but after that, there's no let up. "billy liar" is a jaunty farce starting "Billy Liar's got his hands in his pockets / Staring over at the neighbor's, knickers down." Sarcastic ode "los angeles, i'm yours" backhanded..." [+] Reply

"The pressure was on to produce a classic album following the success of The Grand Illusion. While this album doesn't quite reach the heights of TGI, it is still very worthy of a Top 100 position. The second side of the album is filled with one great track after another. The first side is a bit we..." [+] Reply
"It's a decent debut album, obviously it pales in comparison to the later albums, but everybody has to start somewhere! It's got a stone cold pop classic hit single "Talk Talk" and a couple of really good tunes - "Today" & "Mirror Man" which are worthy of a place on a compilation. It's also got so..." [+] Reply
"The best album of Japan" 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.

"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

"Lou Reed is a brilliant storyteller. With his graphic depiction of what happens to the characters, you are immediately drawn in. You feel anger, sadness, disgust, helplessness and also dark humour as if you are living it. Lou is simply amazing. The music supports the tale, as it did in Songs for ..." [+] Reply
"Most underratted punk album I can think of because of its lyrical depth (for punk) and not clean, but catchy musicianship. Not a bad track on here" Reply
"A really great album, surpassing their debut, which I also loved. What a pleasant surprise for 2018." Reply
