"This album is an excellent starting point for a life-long love affair with this band (it worked out like that with me anyway). All the material is from the so-called 'core-7' albums from '67 to '72, recorded by the classic line-up of Hayward, Pinder, Thomas, Lodge and Edge. No crappy disco-ish/sy..."  [+]  Reply

"A great album all the way around from an underrated band. This album perfectly straddles the line between their next two albums, Dance or Die and III. Love Addict is what originally drew me in, but (among a banger set of tracks) is almost an afterthought among many other tracks I have come to ado..."  [+]  Reply

"This album makes me shed tears, and then the tears form a giant dragon that destroys everything in it's path while we just all sit and enjoy the carefully controlled chaos. All Im saying is it's a beautiful album."  Reply

"Didn't realize this was all one person, and she's FANTASTIC! Why is no one talking about her??? Especially now, in the age of St. Vincent, Brittany Daniels, and Mitski, I think Tash should be more than included in the convo for great female talent (or just great talent) among modern guitarists. P..."  [+]  Reply

"For me, this is Dream Theater’s most underrated album. In my eyes, it doesn’t carry the title “Dream Theater” by accident. This record is a masterpiece and a statement: this is who we are — Dream Theater! It’s incredibly elaborate in both composition and production — with orchestral and classical..."  [+]  Reply

"Lyle Lovett makes another record of his trademark mix of jazzy western swing, coffee house ballads, and clever lyrics. Not quite as good as the previous outing but highly enjoyable. Recommended especially for those looking for something that sounds original."  Reply
