"Way better than it has any right to be. Very funny stuff with some good music backing it." Reply
"The darker and much shorter companion piece to the excellent, Copper blue. It's certainly not as instant as it's predecessor and is a lot more hard work to get into. It's still a very good record slightly tarnished by the fact that the vocals are so low down in the mix making them impossible to u..." [+] Reply
"Note about the track listing: This was released with two different sets of tracks. The one listed above is the Australian version; I am familiar with the International version, and that's what's available on Spotify. The International Version includes a song called "Promises" and leaves out "Mine..." [+] Reply

"What's not to like with this album? It's a great example of earthy, emotive songs with Heather's most impassioned vocal delivery. 'Heal', 'Island', 'Maybe An Angel' all burst with personality.

"I prefer the single-CD edition of this album, that came out in 1995! It omits the tracks "Beautiful Sister", "Giftland" and "Sungravy" and contains edited versions of "Leave It Like That", "The Wheel" and "On My Pillow"." Reply
"Japan's best album. Quiet life, is a brilliant combination of glam rock, new romanticism, and, electro pop, and still sounds excellent today. Shades of Bowie and Roxy music on an album that includes, fall in love with me, other side of life, and a cover of The Velvet Underground classic, all tomo..." [+] Reply
"Captures the same vibe and feel as Aeroplane. Oh Sister could be an extension of Oh Comely. Jeff Mangum is a ridiculously talented songwriter and these two albums - Aeroplane and Ferris Wheel - deserve to be ranked with any of the great Springsteen, Nas, or Tom Waits, in that regard." Reply
"A great album. I didn't even buy The Rainbow Children but this one felt like an amazing comeback. The songs are all great, and it's shorter, feeling leaner and more powerful than anything he'd done in a long time." Reply
