"Alan Lancaster shines on this one singing 4 of the 8 tunes, the first two tracks being worthy of mention. Not to be outdone Francis Rossi sings 2 very good songs and Rick Parfitt proves that Status Quo isn't all about 3 chord boogie. Not the classic hits of Hello but a better record overall."  Reply

"A soulful album a little different & softer than his debut Curtis but just as solid. Underground & We Got to Have Peace are great songs along with Get Down which makes this a must for soul fans."  Reply

"This album needs more love on this site. Sure, its less adventurous than some of their discography.. but for me this album doesn't tire and is incredibly consistent. Oh and might I add catchy as f*ck without sacrificing the head-banging solo factor."  Reply

"I thought I was gonna hate this, but it's actually decent overall! As far as pop rock goes, this album is consistent. I really enjoyed some of he songs, I could live without a few of them, like Crazy=Genius, which is a very swingy jazzy tune remeniscent of Theres a Good Reason Why These Tables Ar..."  [+]  Reply

"Definitely the best effort Plant has put out since Zeppelin. I love how seamlessly he blends many different genres together to create a relatively consistent and distinctive sound, even if a few moments come across as gimmicky. The lyricism is surprisingly good coming from Plant, and while this i..."  [+]  Reply

"A Flock of Seagulls were clever musicians who produced some timeless classic eighties songs. One of the differences with Flock of Seagulls to many of the eighties new wave synth bands was their use of a real drummer rather than opting for Roland TR808 or Linn Drum. It is the driving and interesti..."  [+]  Reply
