"Tracy thorn's voice was never more beautiful. Every deftly written lyric coupled with her voice begs you to listen and react. One of those albums that should have been huge, but the world is too shallow to take it. "Your pockets are lined with promises, when did promises ever pay for shoes.""  Reply

"While I prefer the more glossy, reverb-coated production on We Don't Need To Whisper, this record is a worthy successor of AVA's sparkling debut record. There isn't a "The Adventure" on this record, but I-Empire has some of the better songwriting moments of Tom DeLonge's career. Every subsequent ..."  [+]  Reply

"Hobosapiens is a triumph, an amazing album that any fan of Cale or of experimental music should own. The first four tracks and the last four tracks are all brilliant, but my favourites are “Over Her Head” and “Things”. Also, I love the nice little message hidden in the small print. Not all artist..."  [+]  Reply

"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
