"Predetermined prejudice if I've ever seen it. Average track rating: 86 Average album rating: 79 Stop blindly hating on this music and actually develop a REAL opinion on it for once. This has been happening far too often to albums that definitely deserve better than this." Reply

"Been binging on this album for a few days, and it's becoming quite the love fest. I used to dislike his vocal delivery, but it's really grown on me, plus his lyrics are some of the best. And the music is splendid." Reply

"Fantastic Jazz album, this is one record to listen to when you're starting to get into the genre! Great fast-paced pieces like the title track, Spiral, and Cousin Mary proves how Jazz doesn't always have to be very relaxing and slow (Nothing wrong with that though)." Reply
