"Compare this to Hotter than July. Which is better? July. But they aren't much different. This has great vibes throughout, not a bad/unlistenable song. You can absolutely listen to this as an album. Overjoyed could be in his top 3 of sweet songs not falling over into sappiness, and Wonder has a lo..."  [+]  Reply

"Bill Nelson was eminent as songwriter, vocalist and guitarist. A very underrated group and this album has good melodies, surprising breaks and is an interesting listen all through! Modern music , the album that followed it is almost equally good!"  Reply

"Years after its release, I have found what I initially considered to be merely a "good" album, is actually one of the best albums. The vibrant energy juxtaposed to the sometimes antithetical lyrics, the snarky teen angst, the clever wordplay. Every line in every song is worth repeating in your he..."  [+]  Reply
