"Consistently good throughout and an improvement, in my opinion, on English Settlement. In Loving Memory Of A Name is probably my favourite on this one with Funk Pop A Roll harking back to the first two albums." Reply
"A neighbor had this and played it with his windows open, so I heard it in 1964. Then later in college I heard the version he rerecorded because the masters were thought lost. Then they were found, and the version I now have is both takes back to back, and it is amazing-- half a decade apart, and ..." [+] 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
"Brilliant companion album to, swinging lovers. Frank is on top form throughout, especially on, I wish I were in love again, I got it bad, and, stars fell on Alabama. Great record." Reply
"I grew up in the Midwest. All I knew was heavy metal and head banging, or pop 40 Casey Kassim. When I got to college I burned through classic rock, found alternative, which really took off big in 1993, and somewhere along I found this album and punk rock. I had no idea what it was. It was heavier..." [+] Reply
"As has already been said there is a "Cure" feel about this album via Robert Smith on guitars/keyboards. It is however essentially a Banshee record although Smiths influence cannot be denied(Dazzle, Bring Me The Head.... & Blow The House Down). Other notable tracks are Take Me Back & We Hunger." Reply

"Only just discovered Frank - saw him at Beautiful Days 2012. Why have I never heard of him before? Ace songwriter in a vein which crosses punk and folk. Have bought all his albums but this (his latest) really pushes all the buttons!" Reply
"I adore Car Seat Headrest. Teens of Denial was one of the best indie albums of the '10s, but after an unimaginative re-record of Twin Fantasy in 2018 and five years passing since a bizarre DIY synthpop record, I and many others feared that the prolific Will Toledo and co. had finally run out of s..."
