"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
"Shame that the limits of vinyl meant there is a fade in/out between each of the 2 performances. It does diminish the natural progress of the music. Recording quality really poor, no better on CD than the original vinyl. Still def. worth buying" 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
"easy listening..I think elevator music fits here...not quite my thing but someone else may like" 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

"This is a fantastic record, and I don't really understand how it's the lowest-ranked of ELO's original-run studio albums. It puts on display an ELO at their most uncompromising; the orchestral elements are used less as enhancements for pop songs and more to imbue an explicit classical music influ..." [+] Reply
"This was the 5th BtS release, but for me it was the follow-up to the album that blew me away and hooked me as a fan, 1999's "Keep it Like a Secret." So it's no surprise that this one was a disappointment and would fail to measure up in my eyes. Listening again several years later, it turns out it..." [+] 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
