"Side one is better than side two, but still an overall "what the hell just happened", whirlwind of an album." Reply

"Hey listener! Do you like Sonic Youth, early Dinosaur Jr, and Destroy All Monsters? This is exactly like all of those things in a blender with some lovely warped fidelity." Reply

"The first four tracks used to overshadow everything else on here for me, but a couple of them ('Space' and 'Junkie') are probably now among my favourite songs of all time and some of the others are a lot better than I used to give them credit for. Closing track 'Alaskan Pipeline' is probably the ..." [+] Reply

"Great soundtrack from a great movie. I get goose bumps whenever I think if that story. Fav songs: Sugar Man, Crucify Your Mind, Cause, Can't Get Away, I Think Of You and I'll Slip Away" Reply

"A radical change of direction from their earlier punk days but still an excellent album. Shadow of Love and Edward The Bear are wonderful tracks" Reply
