"If I had to summarize it in the most crass reductionist terms possible, I might describe it as Broadcast meets David Lynch meets Cyndi Lauper. But I'm not going to do that because this album just surprises me with something new and unexpected at every turn. "Oh cool, a cute upbeat surf-rock song ..." [+] Reply

"A great live collection of songs, expertly played as you'd expect." Reply

"Emitt Rhodes' second album from late 1970 is undoubtedly his strongest. The album was released on ABC Records, and Rhodes had recently had a nice hit with the single "Fresh said Daisy."

"With the 2nd album TGUK got more professional and a bit more into pop. This album still is one of the best in the (Emo) genre with many many hits on it. Just listen to the opener "Holiday". A gift from heaven!" Reply
