"This is a really fascinating album! Though I didn't care much for Chances Coloring Book, this one is somewhat less pop-oriented, but more importantly its a lot more free-form and experimental. Songs are strucutred in very unique ways for hip-hop albums, and there are even entirely non hip-hop par..."  [+]  Reply

"While Summertime is timeless, I didn't really fall in love with it. I think with most things like this (Opera/Musical) you have to experience it live, not just listening to a recording. If you've fallen in love with it live, you'll love the recording. The score I'm giving is strictly on the recor..."  [+]  Reply

"At the age of 14 INXS were my life. Kick was the album that drew me in but this one became my favourite. For me it's their most consistent album and in Don't Change it has their first and finest anthem."  Reply

"Pure joy! I love it! I've never heard an album so bustling with happiness and humanness and love. I just feel uplifted having heard this. The way everything blends together turns this album into one big happy sound soup. I barely even call this "electronica", its just awesome."  Reply

"The rawness of this album will be a bit of a shock for those who grew up on The Reaper and Burnin' For You. But more so than those hits, this album is what BOC is all about. Overall, this is a very consistent and excellent outing; 8 cuts and not a dog among them."  Reply
