"Gang Starr's best album. Has a beautiful spontaneity about it. Guru's best rhymes throughout, and some brilliantly put together songs ('Ex Girl To Next', 'BYS', 'Take It Personal', 'The Place Where We Dwell'). Primo was the master of the soul loop and drum sample at this point. Motherfucker made ..." [+] Reply

"“The Age of Pleasure” is a collapse into hedonism. The writing turns a sensual utopia into an inebriated haze. The lyrics rarely move beyond the initial statement of pleasure. The instrumentals are built on limp reggae. The horns are particularly flat, adding little despite their prominent role. ..." [+] 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
"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
"Easily the funnest, most demented & illest trip hop album ever made. Viva! La Woman Is to trip hop what Paul Boutique was to rap. A breath of fresh air. RIYL: Laika, Pram, Solex, Soul Coughing" Reply
"Great album!" Reply
"The first JMJ album I bought. I purchased this on the back of the ravings about Oxygene from a French student who stayed with my family one hot eighties summer. Couldn't get hold of Oxygene at the time. Still enjoy listening to this, not my favourite album by JMJ but the sort of album you end hum..." [+] Reply
"At a first listening session I wasn't convinced completely but after a second one it's clear: this is a classic ELO album whatever the Artist name is: especially From Out Of Nowhere and Time Of Our Life are in the league of their other classics.

"Although it’s never made me jump up and down with excitement, the album has an uncanny ability to express that slightly below par melancholy sadness. So 38 years later it still gets a spin when we’ve had a couple of days drizzle and the mood is right. Or more accurately, slightly wrong." Reply
"So many of these songs sound better here because many of Leonard's studio works suffer from poor to average production. This album just sounds so good and the songs really take on a life of their own. The arrangements are superb. Favorite tracks "Dance Me To The End Of Love", "The Future", "Ain't..." [+] Reply
