"A marvellous record by the "godfather of bossa nova", with his trademark acoustic guitar and very precise voice _ he'd be the best rapper ever if he ever rapped. His version of then recently released but today classic "Águas de Março", by Jobim, might be the best there is. Very sophisticated, but..." [+] Reply
"Too bad that the Dandys were so volatile, that they couldn't keep it cohesively together. They put out some great work in a short while, this album being their top. Grooves easily from track to track. A great soundtrack to cocktails and sketchy women." Reply

"A very good pop album. Varied and long enough not to sound too generic and 'pretty', strong melodic knowhow, a few more ordinary songs in a very codified genre makes it just short of 'excellent'. If you like 80s college pop-rock, power-pop and the Paisley Underground scene, by all means check thi..." [+] Reply

"Someone commented that this album is not essential, peoples with "Britney Spears" in their personal collection should not have the right to comment, this album is a classic, for all those who love electric guitar, the drums simply does the correct in a kind of sound that the guitar will always be..."

""This album outperforms its predecessor, which felt like dissonant noise. The current sound is more engaging, replete with pleasing melodies and intriguing songs. A nice piece of work." Reply
"Everyone had written off Weiland and the STPers at this point in the 90's, but going back and listening to this one 10 years after the fact, I'm not sure why. No, it wasn't Purple or Core, but it still had some very good moments, and if some of these songs had been released four years earlier the..." [+] Reply

"Revolutionary. Those who appreciate electronic music really should give this album credit, and lots of it. It's a great shame that the work of Stockhausen isn't near the very top of the all-time rankings." Reply
