"I think Robyn Hitchcock really hit his stride on his albums with The Egyptians and for me Element of Light is the best" Reply
"The Lyricism and vocals feel genuinely honest. I would like to talk about the vocals further......DAMN! The girl can really belt a note. Not in a Freddie Mercury way but more in an Eddie Vedder manner, Im really impressed. Overall great record, very few and ignorable lows and the highs keep you h..." [+] Reply
"No Comments? This is a decent album! Made the Top 10 here in New Zealand. Fun days." Reply
"A solid follow up to their debut." Reply
"Good but the scatting gets a bit annoying, but the absolutely brilliant version of, Angel eyes, is worth the price of admission alone. Although, I'd rather hear a sax or a trumpet instead of Ella's vocal improvisations, it's still good if you can get past them." Reply

The songwriting of Shorter and Timmons makes this one of the best Messengers albums to my ears; the tempos and th..." [+] Reply
"I kind of agree with PsychologistHD. This album is far too difficult to listen to, and it's way too harsh for my taste. Thank God that Animal Collective ditched this sound over the course of their career." Reply
"Although the album is unfortunately overshadowed with the death of Ricky Wilson as well as a poor commercial performance, the fifth B-52's album is a hidden gem in their discography and contains some of their most fully realized material." Reply
