"Cat's best album, IMO. The raw production most of the songs makes it hold up well almost 50 years later, I guess the acoustic nature of folk music is generally rather timeless in style.

"It's okay... some of the songs sound very similar. Highlights for me are Typhoons and Boilermaker. Quite like the closing piano track, it's very different to everything else they've ever done but it works for me. They'll need to diversify their sound as you can already see them starting to run ou..." [+] Reply

"Not as good as her debut but a good album nonetheless. The best tracks are the first 2 and the last 2. Be Careful Of My Heart & Subcity are the next best. The only track I would skip is Material World the rest of the album is good." Reply
