"Underrated, especially given there are some really well-known tracks on here. A great follow-up to the excellent Hour Of Bewilderbeast. My highlights are All Possibilities, Using Our Feet, The Further I Slide and Born Again." Reply
"There aren't many artists that can keep such a high level of level of inspiration as Lucinda Williams. Now into her fourth decade as a recording artist, Williams says she finds inspiration and comfort in NOT getting comfortable. She describes this record as Car Wheels on a Gravel Road part 2, exc..."

"This album's a little more serious, or sullen if you may, than their first two.

"I can see where a lot of people hate everything about the spice girls from the way the group was formed to their pre-teen songs. However, it worked and for about two years they ruled the airwaves. I personally like Wannabe and 2 Become 1 the most." Reply

"Audiophiles, this is one album where if you can score the vinyl, do so. For some reason, the British remaster is rather high end/tinny. Having said that, this album represents an underappreciated band finding a balance between their earlier rough-hewn sound and later polished production. There is..." [+] Reply

"To absolutely no one's surprise, Squid continues to be the premier post punk band churning out great records these days. What a gift Cowards is." Reply
