"Following the seminal 'Stoneage Romeos' we all held our collective breath for their next album which would be 'Mars Needs Guitars '. And it’s good, better than good in fact .

"The last two tracks are definitely worth, but this needs a few more listens. I didn't pay too much attention on the first half. Sunn O))) is insane." Reply
"This is an awesome thrash album. The original mix is dirty but actually adds to the songs. Any thrash or Megadeth fan will enjoy this album. It gets my recommendation for Looking Down The Cross alone." Reply

"Berstein's exuberance is a perfect match for Gershwin's music. "Rhapsody" will take you away, from opening bluesy note and seduces you with all it's jazzy brilliance.

"Simply the Best album in my opinion several tracks were released from it, a steady listen from beginning to end not a bad track on it." Reply
"I don't know if I can call "Formed a Band" the greatest song ever produced, but it's definitely the second greatest Really has there ever been an album that felt so infinitely ecstatic simply to be itself?" Reply

"I own three Eurythmics LP's, this one, Sweet Dreams and Touch, and of the three this is the best.
