"One of the most underrated albums of the 70’s. It’s not a classic like Imagine, but it’s better than most critics made out at the time. I listen to it a lot. No9 Dream is gorgeous. Whatever gets you through the night great fun and Scared a lost classic. Deserves more attention." Reply

"If (and only if) you ever get tired of listening to Kill 'Em All (& why would you), Bonded by Blood provides more of the same at just a notch (okay, maybe two) below Kill 'Em All caliber (& urgency). A solid (if decidedly second tier) answer for your Kill 'Em All riff addiction." Reply
