"If you could have just one Loreena McKennitt album, this should probably be it. It shows her in all her strengths including singing, composing and musical scholarship. It has some diversity and is a pleasure to listen to throughout."  Reply

"Basically a re-release of the, remasters, album from 1990, with an almost identical track list, repackaged with new cover artwork. You can't argue about the quality of songs though. I don't personally like to rate and comment on compilations, but I need to bump my points up to get to level seven."  Reply

"This is a pretty underrated album, this album grew on me quickly and there are many tracks here I found to be overlooked such as Liar, Chemical, Everyone Everywhere, Young Offender, etc. The singles are great too. I don't know how people aren't paying attention to this album."  Reply

"Brilliant album with a strong influence on punk and "Whiskey Woman" in it. "...what the Rolling Stones would have sounded like if they'd sworn their allegiance to the sound and style of Sun Records instead of Chess Records" (Miriam Linna) "...the Groovies' alternate--universe version of Sticky Fi..."  [+]  Reply

"Epic Viking Metal album. Very important for the genre. I hear dust of guitar sound that falls with violence from the Valhalla to the ground, surrounded by melody. Listen to it! It's like to read a Scandinavian epic/fantasy novel (a good one)"  Reply

"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
