"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

"I see it more as a compilation in the same way as magical mystery tour is. An ep with singles. It's status is improved so much by these singles.rare case that I recommend the compilation over the genuine article."  Reply
