"An album now part of the memory of my vanishing youth. The balance of rock to pop ratio is the exact amount to stimulate my ears, and get my body moving on a dance floor when really its just my living room at 1:00 am on a saturday night. Top Three tracks Glass Ceiling Poster of a Girl Monster Hos..."  [+]  Reply

"Possibly the best 70s punk record, and yes, I'm aware of the existence of London Calling. Seriously though, this record is so much fun you won't even believe it. Just a bunch of ridiculously talented people playing around with angry music and giving the best they can. Incredible."  Reply

"One of their best records. The first side is excellent, the second side okay. Still, it's great British seventies bluesy rock with Paul Rodgers on great vocal form. Live for the music, simple man and the title track are the highlights."  Reply

"I actually enjoy this more then Oxygene, Fourth Rendez-vous being the best track in my opinion. If you're not keen on the old French synth-boff then I don't think this'll change your opinion, mind."  Reply

"Another excellent Frank Sinatra album. Strangers in the night, off course includes the hit single title track, but there is plenty of other great material. There is the lovely, summer wind, a superb version of, all or nothing at all, and an odd take on, downtown. I don't know if Frank doesn't lik..."  [+]  Reply
