"I listened to this every night for about a year as a kid. Off and on over the last 40 years. Every song seems a classic. It is a fun and though provoking album. Rocky Mountain High and Matthew are the standouts on theis old gem."  Reply

""I think it was the first time I realized that I can change the world, or at least change the way you and my sister hit the clock on every tick just to see what happened. The time has really flown by I guess and it's hard to think of the way it might've been or remember very specifically the word..."  [+]  Reply

"I wish more people new about this album/band. I don't let my limited knowledge of the french language get in the way of enjoying it. Great diversity in sound from track to track."  Reply
