"I wasn't too sure about "Deep deep feeling" at first. But serious listening in the dark changed my mind: a superb musical ride, the equivalent of a cubist painting to my ears. And totally on his own! The rest of the album? Very enjoyable, and likely to be a serious grower with time. We're lucky t..."  [+]  Reply

"Foreign affairs, is Tom Waits' film noir album. It's full of monochrome images of gangsters, loose women, and illicit goings on, it's a very cinematic experience. The record starts off with the instrumental, Cinny's waltz, sets the scene perfectly, this isn't a modern day record, it's old fashion..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is a life changing experience for me. When I listen to it in my car, I feel like I am a controller in a NASA mission control station. Am I crazy ? Maybe... But certainly a lover of this piece of art. Favorite tracks: This a concept album. The Other Side is certainly a mastepiece track."  Reply

"2 Glasweigan brothers known for their feedback drenched albums and chaotic gigs get some cowboy hats and acoustic guitars and make a country album. This really shouldn't work but for me it does due to solid songwriting, a commitment to the premise that never breaks the illusion of driving along r..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is near perfection in my opinion. Even though there is no weak moment in here, Fim da Canção, Deixa Morrer and Capitão Romance are the highlights. Every music fan should listen to this album and then give a chance to Portuguese music."  Reply

"I'm surprised this album is rated so low. It's no Hot Rats, but it's not THAT much worse. In fact, quite a few of these songs are taken from the Hot Rats sessions, including the best among them - 'Twenty Small Cigars.' 'Tell Me You Love Me' is also very good - just mindless entertainment. 'Transy..."  [+]  Reply
