"My first exposure to Nick Cave. His vocals were really the only thing that was significantly good about this album. They feel like they're being loud just to be loud. There's not a whole lot to glean from this album. That being said, it was enjoyable enough, nothing outright wrong or horrible. Ju..."  [+]  Reply

"3rd highest rated... 9th highest ranked... same era as the 2 highest ranked which are also the 2 highest rated.... hmmm.... explanation: if you have a fall record in your charts it's either hex enduction or this nation's saving grace, and there just isn't enough room for more records by the fall...."  [+]  Reply

"As has been well-documented, the band was hit on multiple fronts with family illness and death and that clearly produced a fertile creative period. It's dark and heavy while also being proggy. What more could you want from a Mastodon album? I think this is their best work since Crack the Skye. Fa..."  [+]  Reply

"I am still stunned that this album didn't change the landscape of popular rock in the mid eighties. It was so much more catchy and lycically important than REM; less self righteous than U2; and just plain better than what other trash was being heaped onto non-college airways."  Reply

"This one suffered a lot of ridicule around the time of its release. A bit unfair. It's good, solid bluesy rock all the way through. Nothing remarkable but well executed."  Reply

"Shame that the limits of vinyl meant there is a fade in/out between each of the 2 performances. It does diminish the natural progress of the music. Recording quality really poor, no better on CD than the original vinyl. Still def. worth buying"  Reply
