"This album is extremely underrated, Most only know it for the couple of radio hits. But the entire album is classic 90's rough with a heavy dose of country rock. Great ballad is "I want Everything""  Reply

"Okay, so it's not exactly "Who's Next" but it's a very solid album. Overall, the songs on here are actually better than on "Who Are You" but the boost that Keith Moon's powerful drumming would have given these songs is what is sorely missing and that's too bad because with Moon this might have be..."  [+]  Reply

"My favourite of the 'latter'day Frank Zappa recordings. Some wonderful stuff on here, especially, harder than your husband, Doreen, and, Charlie's enormous mouth, all great. I've always loved this album, still do."  Reply

"Tracks 2 and 4 are the sickest sci-fi dark progressive music I've ever heard. Puts Tool to shame. Completely groundbreaking music. The other 4 real songs are really cool too. Some filler on the album unfortunately."  Reply

"Billy Nicholls' response to The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, and while this isn't quite as good a record as Pet Sounds, it still is a very diverse and lovely album. Any fan of the Beach Boys should check this one out!"  Reply
