"I love these guys, but unfortunately for me this a small step down from their first two albums. It feels as though there is less spontaneity and energy, though it isn't too detrimental. They definitely have a lot more focus on intricacy and atmosphere, which is always nice. Still highly recommend..."  [+]  Reply

"My favorite Orb album because it enhances whatever you're doing while listening to it but doesn't require your attention. I wish I could understand why it's ranked so low within the Orb's catalog"  Reply

"If it weren't for Radiohead AND David Bowie (RIP) both releasing albums, this would easily take my pick for best album of 2016. I dare say, I feel it may one day go down as a landmark album in the history of metal not JUST because of the music but also the circumstances pertained to it's release...."  [+]  Reply

"2 things about your statement, chap. 1. What is 'realist' about the line 'fucking shredded wheat Kellogg's cunts on bleachers arcock?' - it's babble, a 21st Century James Joyce expect drunk on Special Brew and covered in his own piss on a park bench. 2. The whole album is nothing BUT a gimmick - ..."  [+]  Reply

"The Go-Betweens became a four piece, adding bassist Robert Vickers to the band. With McLennan moving to guitar, the band sound much fuller than before, and Forster’s material is more conventional, forgoing jerky new wave in favour of more conventional pop, although his material is still more frac..."  [+]  Reply

"A collection of uniformly brilliant Kraftwerk songs. In fact, this album sounds so brilliant that it doesn't even sound live. A timeless compilation from a truly timeless band - even their "Electric Cafe" stuff sounds excellent here. If you're a Kraftwerk fan, or a general electronic fan, do not ..."  [+]  Reply

"It's so solid, this is the type of prog that deserves to be talked about. It doesn't feel like retreads of prog acts from the 60's and 70's, it feels like an actual progression of the genre"  Reply
