"Not as good as White Ladder, but he was never gonna top that. Still some great tunes on here that wouldn't have sounded out place on his previous album." Reply
"Sparks have a history of not being known to the masses despite their genius, and this album takes the top of the chart as 'the best album no one knows of'. maybe it's just too smart for most people? A true work of genius, as the name dropped title suggests." Reply
"THE BIG FOUR PLUS ONE I don’t care what anyone else says. The Screaming Trees were one of “The Big Four” of grunge. Call it the Big Five if you have to. Knock out those pussies in Pearl jam if you have to. I really don’t care. But they belong. They were there from the start. Cranked out SEVEN con..." [+] Reply

"I find soundtracks are usually not very good albums, but this one is an exception. He released two good albums in one year (and they were both pretty much double albums). Very impressive. Highlights are Silent Sigh, Minor Incident (great song) and Something To Talk About." Reply
"O'Rourke is like an abstract painter that only focuses on surreal realism. The amount of talent on here can be dissected evenly between the exquisite lyrics & application to the musicality." Reply

"8 January 2014 Boy, top to bottom this thing is very solid. At times this record just thrills. There is a sense of joy and rediscovery that comes from the band and Bob throughout, and this energy makes it all the more excellent of a listen. The playing is just pure energy on the rock tracks and t..." [+] Reply

"Blakey and Monk go together perfectly. The melodic playing of Blakey, the percussive playing of Monk, the soulful funkiness of Johnny Griffin, they're all working on the same bebop wavelength--high energy music, but with so much space and silence left in. The interplay between the musicians here ..." [+] Reply
"A similar but more consistent effort compared to their debut. The production is significantly better. Country Joe & The Fish continue their journey into electric psychedelia but incorporate more acoustics. Though the album as a whole is more tame, they still indulge themselves musically whenever ..."

"Oozing with Mellotron washes, Mellotron flutes and Moog Modular ratcheted sequences, this album follows on where Ricochet left off with a more melodic musical structure. Where Zeit, Rubycon and Phaedra were predominantly sound collages, this album helps the listener more easily form those vast ex..." [+] Reply

"As my musical taste matured growing up, I never grew out of this album. The best of a low-esteemed genre of music. Its a great break-up album, that speaks to teenage emotions even as an adult." Reply
