"The influence that this record would have on later artists is very clear but the music itself doesn't really hold up. The record feels very bare and not a lot really happens on most of the songs. There is only a couple of tracks that I would pick out and listen to again after this record and most..."  [+]  Reply

"It is a great debut, instrumentally it is fantastic like all Mastodon's work but it does get too repetitive and like the comment below me, it just becomes a monotonous work of growls lyrically."  Reply

"Being a moderate Elliott Smith I finally got around to listening to this album , essentially where it all began before the solo career took off I really enjoyed the tracks with the trademark ES DNA in "Half Right" , "Get Lucky" , "Plainclothes Man" , "The Fix Is In" , "You Gotta Move" and especia..."  [+]  Reply

"Agreed Romanelli... This is a perfect Dylan album minus opening track (however I did like that song when I was a young kid)... too bad it isn't a real album... Positively 4th Street is probably one of my favorite songs from him lyrically. All of these song not only have his great poetry, but the ..."  [+]  Reply

"I haven't listened to this tape (yes, a tape!) in over 25 years! I dug it out of my tape collection (which I thankfully kept) this evening, it sounds as good, if not better now, than it did all those years ago. At that time it got a lot of play in the car stereo! Listening to it on a quality audi..."  [+]  Reply

"Own: UK pressing from 1978 called Forward On To Zion (aka "satta"), Different records. Exemplary mid-tempo Reggae, beautifully done all round, no stretching out. Boys look sharp on the back cover. Title-cut ftw."  Reply
