"Impressive for what they were at the time, and a big step up from their debut album, in my opinion. Side note, the vocal work on this album is the pure definition of talent." Reply

"This album is a revelation. What is it doing soundtracking an unknown French art film?" Reply
"Colin Newman's production (and you can definitely tell it's him) can't overcome Gavin Friday's all-over-the-place vocals, but... there are "moments." RIYL The Fall, The Misfits, Alien Sex Fiend, bands of that nature." Reply

"In October 1968, before any Poco or Eagles or even Flying Burrito Brothers albums, and just a mere month after the monumental release of The Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo, Dillard & Clark released this landmark album.

It was the first to feature the current lineup and the first of their string of albums I would all call "great" (to be clear, this string of great albums continues today, over 20 years later).

"This is a near perfect compilation. It serves as a great introduction to the artist and has all his most popular songs. This was the first Tom Petty album I had and I've since become a big fan. If you are looking for a place to learn about Petty, this is the place to start." Reply
"Shortlisted for R&B album of the year at the 2002 Grammys. The winner was Songs In A Minor by Alicia Keys" Reply
