"Possibly Sloan's heaviest album. While I love Patrick's power pop, and here he has his signature song, "Money City Maniacs", this was the album where Andrew Scott truly shines. "Sinking Ships", "Seems So Heavy", and "On The Horizon" are the three best tracks, all penned by Scott."  Reply

"Most of these songs are from Hounds of Love and Aerial so it has many great tracks. Also the production and audio is absolutely flawless. Really digging this. I have to start listening to Kate Bush more."  Reply

"This is undoubtedely their finest work to date. "Moonshine" at nearly 7 minutes long is glorious! "Love Pollution" and the single "Just The Way I'm Feeling" are also great"  Reply

"I clearly recall my sister got this album ( vinyl of course) for Christmas 1980. I’d never heard of Flowers and the how who and why she got this album under tree really is one of life’s mysteries considering we grew up in regional Australia in a time there was no internet and the local radio was ..."  [+]  Reply

"I was pleasantly surprised by Waxahatchee's last album after not caring at all for Cerulean Salt. So, I didn't know what to expect. That in mind, this has to be her best record yet. Nary a subpar track on the record. Give it a listen, for sure."  Reply

"Bone shaking, earth shattering rock, but a little too repetitious. White and Mosshart both can write better material then this. The weakness of the songs ultimately resign this album to a B. Should be ranked higher than it is, though. Half the boring albums on 2010s chart are nowhere near as memo..."  [+]  Reply

"Musically 'smoother' and more refined, but equally as experimental and original as their debut 'Silver Apples Of The Moon', Laika create a form of "organic" electronica that is, for example, more authentic sounding than the music produced by one of their contemporaries, the overrated Moby. Overal..."  [+]  Reply

"I like this album quite a bit. it's certainly not very standard for the Decemberists. In fact, if you told me that this was an unearthed Colin Meloy synth-pop project from 1985 I wouldn't be all that surprised. "Once In My Life" in fact reminds me of Talk Talk's 1984 hit "It's My Life" (partly be..."  [+]  Reply
