"This is not your run of the mill disco album. In fact this is a electronica ambiance concept Album about a love affair and how it evolves over time like the 4 seasons. Also.. it served as a great background for the real thing. For those who cringe at such an album ... check some of it out on Yout..." [+] Reply
"Just gotta say that this is quite underrated. 82/100." Reply
"This, the American version of their first album, differs to the U.K. version in so much as it replaces, Mona, with, not fade away. The majority of the songs are covers including the raw sexuality of, I just want to make love to you, and, I'm a king bee. There's a few originals in there the best b..." [+] Reply
"Little known solo release from the 90’s alternative rock icon hooks up with Rick Ruben and strips away the OTT BS and replaces it with acoustic guitars, pianos and strings for a down to earth and humble album that is surprisingly good despite the awful and completely made up word ‘Ogilala’ title ..."

"This is definitely an underrated classic. It follows a similar vein to These Days (IMO Bon Jovi's best and most mature album). Only criticism is it is probably 2 songs too long. Which ones to take off though, a hard decision. Favourite tracks Queen Of New Orleans, Janie (Don't Take Your Love To T..." [+] Reply
"Happy to see this little hidden gem here. Normally when people mention Steve Earle they'll talk about Guitar Town or Copperhead Road. This might just be his best though, wielding tracks like Mercenary Song, Tom Ames' Prayer, and Angel Is the Devil. Good choice!" Reply

""The Apples in Stereo" make music with pop appeal. Layered with vocoders, disco strings, wacky synths, and pulsing dancefloor beats that have been blended into their bubblegum indie sound, this album's complex layers still digested easily. Increasingly more synthisized than previous releases and ..." [+] Reply

"Well that was a pleasant surprise. 80's synth is my music but at the time Visage weren't a band I liked. Fade to Grey didn't appeal to me and I tarred them with that brush (I did the same with Radiohead - didn't like Creep). I picked this up because I'm buying vinyl again and saw this for 3 quid...."
