"Maybe the most enjoyable and accessible Pretenders album. Their debut might just shade it but if I had only one of their albums to take to a desert island it's be this one." Reply
"This wonderful band that always sailed on the edge of insignificance in the indie genre and yet released one extraordinary album after the other. And then, when you think things can't get any harder in this band's life, then bring this masterpiece! Well, I had to cry a little. I admit it" Reply
"As a big Daniel fan, I find this album a nice middle ground between his lighter, piano driven early work (Songs of Pain) and the dark, scattered sound to come (Hi How Are You, Yip/Jump). My Yoke is Heavy and The Story of an Artist are some of my favorites, too." Reply

"It will grow on you with time if you let it. At first I would tell you this is my least favorite from them. Now Im not so sure which one is my #1. Great hip hop record." Reply

"This band has the honour of the best band name origin story in the history of band name origin stories. Based on an early 20th century anti-humanist organisation called the Sleepytime Gorilla Press, their music is equally strange and incredibly accomplished. They even invent their own instruments..."
