"Love this album. With every listen you just get more drawn into it in a very transcendent spaced out way. Gets better every time. Slowly becoming one of my favorite Anathema albums"  Reply

"One of my favourite compilation albums. Of the Jimi Hendrix Experience's studio albums, the only major track it's *really* missing is "Manic Depression".

"This is a very uneven record. I think with some different arrangements and a better band this could have been a knockout album. It's enjoyable and "One Of Us" remains a sublime meditation on humanity."  Reply

"Can't believe this album is ranked below Sound of White Noise or as low as it is overall. This is a very tight, powerful album and probably the most mature Anthrax album considering most of their early albums had an element of piss-taking and lads just having a thrashing good time."  Reply
