"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

"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
"this album is so good every song i love it" 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. I prefer this album to many of the actual XTC studio albums and I am a huge fan of XTC. I have many friends who don't like XTC that much but lo..." [+] Reply
"Every song on this album is an absolute gem. It seems that no matter what mood I am in, this music seems to accompany it well. What a tragedy that this man didn't have the opportunity to make more music." Reply

"Bloody Mulu.....ruins this album for me! Don't get me wrong I'm a big TD fan but that is the one song I just cannot hold any affinity for. The rest, all good stuff, just not quite up to album one for me because of that one track, and when an album is only 7 tracks long it does effect the overall ..." [+] 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
"An extremely charming album, it's also an album of much maturity for Modern Baseball. No matter what, this album always manages to wiggle into my feelings, regardless of when I listen to it. I'd recommend this to anyone who has a taste for emo." Reply
"This album should get alot more love than it does! It is a top 10 Hip Hop album of all time easily!" Reply
