"One of my favorite albums of all time, not a weak track to avoid. Carlos is at his creative peak and the percussion is measured and not over indulging.

"Not quite good enough to be considered a great album in it's own right but certainly more than just a historical artefact. That the band that wrote Negative Creep became the biggest band in the world can't fail to make me smile." Reply

"Underrated neo-soul / funk with a psychedelic twist and great guitar sounds. So much good music on this at such a high level of output. Riding on the wings of Stevie Wonder, George Clinton, MJ, James Brown, Outkast, Lauryn Hill and Missy Elliot, she was able to do what a bit of what St. Vincent, ..." [+] Reply
