"The Unicorns breakup resulted in the formation of The Islands. The sound is approximately the same, but cleaner and more refined, mature dare-i-say, which results in an album without "Cut Our Hair"'s peaks and mountainous missteps. They genre-hop a bit too, from electronic minor-glitches to hip h..."  [+]  Reply

"Apart from the Passionate Friend there aren't many other tracks that would I describe as singles. There are a few good album tracks like Tiny Children, And The Fighting Takes Over, Great Dominions which scrape this album into a 7...just. Julian Cope is one of the voices that I remember from the e..."  [+]  Reply

"I bought this album on vinyl when it first came out and probably haven't listened to it in over twenty years. I had forgotten how good it sounds, particularly how good the vocals are. Severina is my favourite track. There are hints to U2 imo."  Reply

"This ticks all of the quo boxes for me. Non of that sappy, later career stuff here. Dead’s down, no none sense boogie. Roll over lay down, Caroline, forty five hundred times. What’s not to love."  Reply

"Love And Rockets A departure from densely sonic and chugging previous album 'Express.' Some songs have their expected rock sound, but mostly this is an acoustic based effort. Love and Rockets do a great job of combining acoustic music with experimental sounds. The lyrics are deep and full of inge..."  [+]  Reply

"A very good debut album by the most famous Californian psych rock band. Although it is the only one without Grace Slick, Signe Anderson had a very similar voice to hers. Marty Balin did a great job on this album, both as a songwriter and as a singer, his voice is full of 'heart and soul'. Great b..."  [+]  Reply
