"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

"This album was more than a surprise for me, I didn't expect to like it as much as I did at all. It seems like it has influences sprawling from The Antlers to even twinkly early emo bands like American Football. I can't recommend this album enough, it's full of raw emotion and tight instrumentals...." [+] Reply
"Nice sound. Pond definitely has a unique, psychedelic sound. The stand outs here for me are, Paint Me Silver and Zen Automation. Some songs could be more memorable but I like how the album flows and it's never dull." Reply
"Not sure why they aren‘t massive. Ok, no art rock with a whiny singer. That might explain the position on this site. Instead you get highly energized indie soul (?), very catchy, adictive with some sort of a dirty street vibe. Very enjoyable album." Reply
"Such a mixed bag. Not sure how the same artist can write a track like Live & Let Die or Band on the Run as well as Ebony & Ivory." 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

"People often make fun of me for having this so high on my list, but make no mistake: This is, by far, the greatest "Radio Disney" album of all time (and, before I got into real music, I listened to a LOT of those :p). I know this sounds like it's not saying much, but this album truly is..." [+] Reply
