"I had never really heard of Coheed and Cambria until my nephew played me the opening track of this album and I was really taken with the synth string arrangement and with the 'Rush like' direction of the album from 'Welcome Home'. Apart from Budgie, I have never heard a vocalist that sounded like..." [+] Reply
"This was Lemmy's swansong to Hawkwind, and what a way to go! Hawkind had added an extra drummer on this, and this one continued in the musical progression that "Hall of the Mountain Grill" started. Brilliant!" Reply
"Tracklist should stop at "Teas". The rest is Reissue bonus track material. Whatever. Great record, both naive and very clever, instantly appealing, Donovan's best from what I've heard." Reply

"Not a bad album by any means. This is Deftones moving forward, and never making the same album twice. The production can be hard to stomach at times as it is quite abrasive, but I understand it’s intentional and certainly distinguishes it further from their previous two efforts. Not as solid or a..."

"Alphaville nailed the use of Linn Drum, coupled with really punchy synth bass lines overlaid with catchy synth lead lines. Add to the mix Marian Gold's strong vocal abilities this makes for a very good formula. Particular favourites are Big in Japan, Forever Young and Victory of Love." Reply

"This is a group with a lot of potential. Every song is about another person on the cover. I think the production is almost perfect across the album, however the songwriting could use some improvements. There are some flawless moments on here like Agnes, The Other Side of Paradise, and Youth. None..." [+] Reply

"Been listening to this non stop at the minute. Classics. Seem to love more now than at the time it came out. It's a compilation and remixes but sounds like a studio album. Doesn't sound dated at all to me anyways. Right, think I'll stick it on again. Got to be up there with the best remixers ever..." [+] Reply

"Almost an all-time classic. The opening one-two of "...Political" (all my least favourite SA tracks are those with a blatant political stance) and the cliched "All I Want" are the biggest false start to an album ever. From there, it's chilling and soaring all the way until the penultimate track....." [+] Reply

"It's little wonder that this album garnered so much attention - it's fecking great. For all its surf-rock tropes and bluesy-folksy borrowings, it's quite a one-off. I could quite happily live in this album. Best track: Bring Me Simple Men. Music to listen to when you're getting your revenge on a ..." [+] Reply
