"sheer bloody genius. If this lp only contained Tightrope alone it would be classic (like carry on my wayward son is the only classic song on that Kansas lp) but there is also Telephone Line, Do Ya and Livin Thing. In it's day, it sold for a new world record too."  Reply

"I'm probably in the minority when I say this, but I think this is their best album. It may not have some of the big and timeless hits as their other albums did and Dani California was played WAY too much on the radio, but I cannot find a bad song on this album. That's amazing for a 28 song album...."  [+]  Reply

"This will easily be one of my albums of the year if not THE album of the year. Really catchy tunes and some really clever lyrical work here. The production here is also of exceptional quality. Highlight - the baseline intro to Violence and this track in general. Fav tracks - Violence, Total Footb..."  [+]  Reply

"If you have listened to this album once or twice.... you need to listen to it maybe 5 more times in order to get it! It will grow on you I promise!!

"The first album is great, but this is their defining statement. The sound and feel is better, even on the buzz saw songs which is what the first album was almost all about. The writing here is stronger over two full sides, and this one even boasts some variety. 'Sheena' and 'Cretin' maintain the ..."  [+]  Reply

"This whole album is an accurate narrative of a crazy drug trip. First the fun rush (Feel Good Hit of the Summer), then the horny feeling (Auto Pilot), the height of the trip where the world starts spinning (Better Living Through Chemistry), the slow fallout along with a second wind (In the Fade),..."  [+]  Reply

"I'm not generally an alto fan, but this album made me a believer. Adderley was the master of the alto and this is his finest work. The ensemble are tight and lay down jazz that is hot, cool and swinging. Two big thumbs up."  Reply
