"Feels like turning the TV over and finding loads of strange channels you never knew you had before. Some are scary and some cause tears. I feel this one has a little more to give. Such a lonely work of the hearts. Take it."  Reply

"I really don't get how this can be the top TYA's album here. Maybe because of the hit "Love Like a Man"? It's not bad, but it's very hard rock oriented, has less of the typical TYA's style (jazzy rhythms, dark bluesy feel), and still Ssssh (which is also quite hard rock oriented) has more memorab..."  [+]  Reply
