"Meme aside, this album was a lot better than I was expecting" Reply
"More hit or miss than The Zombies' later pop masterpiece, Odessey and Oracle, their debut still has plenty of wonderful songs, including the breathy, infectious hit "She's Not There," the somber, ethereal "I Remember When I Loved Her," the great little rave-up "What More Can I Do," the catchy "I ..."

"he can write some pretty clever lyrics every now an then. and some pretty hard pressing ones. "And today I will trust you with the confidence Of a man who's never known defeat But tomorrow, upon hearing what I did I will stare at you in disbelief Oh, inconsistent me Crying out for consistency"" [+] Reply

"Ok so initially I really loved it - and to be clear, the album is a fantastic voyage - but the novelty factor kind of wore off and I just don't like as much. It's still unique as hell and I can't deny the jazz fusion and songwriting glory that it is." Reply

"The tackier, more offensive bits on this record had me rolling my eyes but they still can not overshadow how unique this record was in 1988. Ricks flow and story telling rhymes are still shockingly fresh and original and its clear that later stars like Snoop Dog and Nas loved this record." Reply

"One of the greatest progressive lp's of all time. A pity not many people know about it. Great guitar playing and singing on extended tracks - brilliant." Reply
"Including a number of tracks that can't be found on studio albums this is cleverly pitched towards beatles completionists This was released years before the red and blue double lp sets where most of those loose ends would resurface" Reply
"I hear influences like Jesus and Mary Chain and Elliott Smith. Feels fresh though. I really like this album." Reply
