"The album with my greatest musical experience on. Intoxicated brought the smile back one very sad day. Not that dramatic but it opened for new sides of life" Reply

"Yep. This right here is a dope electronic record from the 70's. The two computer game interludes are ok but the rest make up for it." Reply
"The Cardiacs most fluent album. Every song flows nicely from the previous and the classic line-up were probably at their best live around this time.

"Adam's first solo record, although in truth it doesn't make hardly any difference considering Marco is still on board. Still, friend or foe, is an improvement on the disappointing, Prince charming.
