"It's barely listenable, the songs have no discernible structures, and each vocal melody sounds like a dog being horribly maimed. I mean, it better be one of the best emo records ever recorded." Reply

"Song Of The Volga Boatmen - Russian folk song" Reply
"Solid album - Jet Airliner best track and Jungle Love is probably second. A soft rock album with hints of psychedelic in an updated 70s sound. Late 70s early 80s were the height of this band and if you choose one album of SMB to listen to then this is the place to start" Reply

I understand the concern about the length of the tracks, but it's a record with ambient overtones that you luxuriate in really. similarly to a brian eno record that goes on for quite a long time with little variation, one just has to let "loop-finding-jazz-reco..."

"This is a really good album with all the songs working really well together. An eclectic mix of songs and influences for the album but it is certainly one of his best." Reply
"The lead-off track was Judas Priest before Judas Priest. Hugely influential stuff." Reply
"Already Gone is the best song ever made with cheesy lyrics. Best of My Love, Ol' 55, and the title track are all classics as well." Reply
