"After an awesome debut and a two year gap to a still pretty good sophomore effort, we waited another 8 year for... this? Egad, what a letdown. I hate it when people throw the "corporate rock" term at Boston in general, but for this album? Oh, yeah."  Reply

"In my opinion the LA Express ruined this album. It sounds like cheezy dollar store jazz. Her solo performances here aren't bad though. Shadows and Light is worlds better."  Reply

"If there is a musical equivalent of the kitchen sink, then Elvis Costello threw it at this album. Mighty like a rose, is overblown, pretentious, and indulgent, but underneath the orchestration, the trumpets and God knows what else, there are some decent songs. Opener, the other side of summer, is..."  [+]  Reply

"As a fan of Earl since the Odd Future days, I didn't think he was capable of releasing anything less than great. Even on Feet of Clay, there were plenty of high moments within it's short run-time. As much as I've tried to get into this record, and respect it for what it is — an artist finding pea..."  [+]  Reply

"Another, what I would say competent album from Depeche Mode, although, again, unspectacular. As with most DM albums it starts to run out of steam towards the end. 10 tracks instead of 12 would have been better. The other problem with latter day Depeche Mode is the lack of that killer song. They h..."  [+]  Reply

"Beautiful, evocative album which is a maelstrom of all of 4ADs greatest bands (circa mide Eightees) and indeed, a number contributed, including DCD and Cocteau Twisns. This is the best of their 3 albums - lots to get into here - listen in a darkened room with plenty of atmosphere."  Reply
