"Way better than it has any right to be. Very funny stuff with some good music backing it." Reply
"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
"One of my favorite Chemical Brothers albums. Great songs right throughout with an outstanding finish with 'Surface to Air'." Reply
"Pretty much the heaviest music got before Sabbath. The songs are also quite fantastic." 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
"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.

"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
"Least collectable because almost every household in the US had a copy. The cover is admittedly provocative but the record itself is good clean fun. Mr. Alpert was a brilliant pop arranger and not a bad trumpet player. I love playing this disc in the car on a nice summer day, it just seems to fit." Reply
"I'm not going to deny that this is a very pretty album. However, prettiness isn't enough to make this a great album. I liked it, but aside from a couple of tracks I think Alcest was playing it a bit too safe in terms of the songwriting." Reply
"The best way I can describe this album is its simply an obvious tip of the hat to every 60's band and style that influenced Mr.'s Partridge and Moulding.
