"It makes me very sad that Thuramthugood is the only one to comment on this wonderful album. Unfortunately, he only has numbers to offer. And they simply don't say anything. This album is an experience from A to Z!"  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

"Incredible indie pop album from the early 80s that still stands up today. Unfortunately it seems this record is really overlooked; many songs are immediately catchy and unique for the time. Admittedly, the ending few songs don't speak to me much, but this album caught me off guard with how fun it..."  [+]  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

"As you've guys (unfortunately) have noticed, I've been a huge Avril fan my whole life. But when I first heard "Girlfriend" on the radio, I was really disappointed. I felt like all the emotional tapestry that made Under My Skin such an utter masterpiece was gone. And, in a way, it was. B..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a really interesting album - I like how it plays around with different tones and sounds in a way that almost sounds like noise rock filtered through a post-punk lens. Unfortunately, all the chaos results in very few songs that work, and the ones that are interesting outstay their welcome ..."  [+]  Reply
