"I wonder if I understood the lyrics if this would be better for me. The rhythms you'd expect. REALLY wish it was mixed differently. Rhapsodia Del Maravilloso was probably my favorite track." Reply

"Second album from Prince and a step up from "For You". I Wanna Be Your Lover, Bambi, Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad, With You & I Feel For You are the stand out tracks. The other tracks are all 75/100. I still listen to this album and it always leaves a smile on my face." Reply

"Forget about all the new fans that enjoy the silly new album and take advice from a longtime fan, this is their best album. Attack and Release is their 2nd best. Some great hard rock/blues guitar playing and solid singing going on here.This is some real garage rock!" Reply

"This is the sound of the band pleasing themselves with very little concern of pleasing a potential audience - Color Me and Impressed and Within Your Reach - proved Paul cared, just a little. Arguments have been made as to whether this aspect is either a virtue or failing of the record. I consider..." [+] Reply
"Underrated, this is better than a 53rd place in 1990." Reply

"Heaven 17's greatest moment. This politically heavy album is one of the classic electro pop records of the early eighties. Fascist groove thing, is an excellent opener on an album full of strong cuts. Underrated." Reply
