"Let's Rock was a decent album and very listenable but this feels like a real return to form. Got an RL Burnside feel to it" Reply
"Metheny's put out over 60 albums, most of them excellent, but his first remains arguably his best. Of course having Jaco at his side certainly helps." Reply

"A Masterpiece" Reply
"Great album, but 11 songs in 26 minutes.... need a larger vision and album for me to rate this any higher." Reply
"People often make fun of me for having this so high on my list, but make no mistake: This is, by far, the greatest "Radio Disney" album of all time (and, before I got into real music, I listened to a LOT of those :p).

"Yes it’s over very quickly, but my God, who could withstand much more adrenaline soaked sonic brutality! The best record ever crafted to whip young men into a bloodthirsty frenzy." Reply
