"Their mid/late 70's masterpiece. Every track is exceptional, with four masterpieces:- Spirit of the age, Damnation alley, Hassan I sahba and Days of the underground. Space rock never sounded so good!!! And does anyone know what came first - the film Damnation alley (1977) or the track on this LP ..." [+] Reply
"A very fresh and active sounding album. The guitar work is fantastic, the singing is emotional and powerful and the songwriting is extremely original. Only complaints being it gets a bit samey, but we'll see if it gets better with each listen." Reply

"Or a more muscular sounding Sparks with Franz Ferdinand visibly adding the 'muscle'. This is yet again, another good album from these evergreen artists, packed with sarcastic songs sneering magnificently at everyone else's flaws and foibles. For Fuck's Sake!" Reply

"Queen's let it be. A hotchpotch of solo tracks, b-sides and unfinished doodles, with only three songs recorded after innuendo.

"I love the Funky / Soul sound from this album with catchy dance tunes. The instrumentation is authentic and at the time of its release I was just starting to visit night clubs. I can play it today and have no problem reciting the lyrics." Reply
"Shortlisted for R&B album of the year at the 1999 Grammys. The winner was The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill" Reply
