"This little-known Australian prog-metal band shows some tenacity on an album that really should be more widely recognised but unfortunately isn't. Those who like their-music short and straight-to-the-point should stay far away, but those who enjoy getting lost in their musical journey as well as ..."  [+]  Reply

"The original Tubular Bells is a classic and was even ahead of it's time. But the synths on this are so dated. It somehow sounds even more dated than the original that came out 19 years before it. I do recognize the skill in composing and arranging this album, and I do enjoy the tracks Weightless,..."  [+]  Reply

"The album that got me into the charlatans in a big way. They finally hit their stride with this, a big improvement on the previous realeases, and self titled the album as a sign of it, somethink not often done on for a 4th album. The 3 albums that followed it were better but this is still a great..."  [+]  Reply

"It was a VERY big deal when they released all of the Beatles catalog on CD (yes, that was a long time ago). This was the final CD, and I found it quite astonishing how so many of their "hits" never actually made it to a studio album. That they were so prolific with their genius in such a short ti..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a nice album. I'm surprised it's so low on the year chart, especially compared to arriana grande and billie eilish. Imo this is much better than either of those albums. Only time will tell if I'm still listening to this in months and years"  Reply

"The ballads on this album get really mushy, especially on the banal "Photograph" ("When it gets hard/You know it can get hard sometimes/ is the only thing that makes us feel alive") and the cliche-riddled "Thinking Out Loud" (Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars), but when Ed wishes to bra..."  [+]  Reply
