"Way different from what we were expecting, first try i didnt really liked it. Tough it grow on me, Always On was a dead-on bullseye. EDIT: This album got me gripped, multiple songs keep haunting my head, i've been playing this album daily since it came out."  Reply

"I think this album is underrated. Sherinian brings an interesting dynamic to the band's sound, and Petrucci belts out some of his most tasteful solos ever. There are a few duds on this album, for sure - it tends to be a bit too "alternative" in spots, and gets a little -too- dynamic at times. Sti..."  [+]  Reply

"The best sound collage of all time. A relatively modern piece of musique concrète that stretches your imagination of what you consider to be music. Against all odds, this record is extremely enjoyable and beautiful in its own highly eclectic way. I honestly don't care about any possible political..."  [+]  Reply

"Beat saw the New York duo embrace technology, marrying drum loops to their honeyed space rock. It's ceaseless repetition never wanes but somnambulantly drifts and drifts."  Reply

"A ballsy move, taking Mussorgsky's classic and doing a rock version. There is much disagreement over the validity of the changes in the programme, but it works well for the most part."  Reply

"Maybe it's just that I'm a Flaming Lips superfan, but I quite enjoy this album. I can now see this is what the Lips were trying to do on Oczy Mlody, but weren't successful in doing. These are clearly very Lips-ian songs, and some are literally Flaming Lips songs; The Floyd Song is reworked on the..."  [+]  Reply

"A good solid album more cohesive than London Town. Old Siam Sir, Getting Closer, Arrow Thru Me, Spin It On, To You & Rockestra are all good songs but I especially like the last few tracks After The Ball...... Love Awake. Underrated and on top of that it was Wings final album."  Reply
