"Overlong and riddled with meta references and snarky nudge-nudge lines that could only come from a young songwriter, it's actually a pretty decent album, mainly cause the songcraft is overall catchy enough but not quite as conservatively cliqued as most of the endless onslaught of emo albums in t..."  [+]  Reply

"Quite a patchy affair, this is James Taylor having a bit of jam with his pals who just happen to be excellent session musicians. This is why he still created the wonderful Hymn, the oft covered Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight and possibly my favourite here, the hidden gem that is New Tune, it coul..."  [+]  Reply

"It had been a four and a half year gap between, tunnel of love, and his new release, 2 albums on the same day, human touch, and, lucky town. Maybe Springsteen had been inspired to release two records by guns'n'roses, who had done same thing the year before with their, use your illusion, LP's. The..."  [+]  Reply

"The songs on i idle by in a more languid mood than many of those already featured in Stephin Merrits oevre, if anything, this adds to rather than detracting from the album, lending it a unique and a much-appreciated appeal. Cool."  Reply

"If all pop music were like this even us middle-aged types would still care what was No.1. Better than 10 hip replacements (which you'd need after dancing to this all night) and as fizzy as a sherbet dip-dab dunked in a can of Coke. I feel like a 12 year old again..."  Reply

"I've never understood why this album is so unpopular. After Made in Japan it's the one I listen to the most. The moments of poppy psychedelia in Mary Long, Woman from Tokyo and our Lady give a glimpse of where Deep Purple might have headed had Gillan & Glover not left. Also, it's a shame that Pai..."  [+]  Reply
