"WOW. What's with all the negativity dudes? Of the Blue Colour Of The Sky is a fantastic album. And not because it's "sugar pop" - *casts an unfriendly eye at Freddie* but because of the band's creativity here. You probably just watched the music videos and thought the music sucked, and didn't eve..."  [+]  Reply

"Although this did not have the immediate impact on me that KOTWF did at the time, I listened to it for longer then. I also find this easier to listen to now. So, taking that into account, and the fact it contains the classic Stand & Deliver I rate this higher (but neither as high as Dirk)... Saw ..."  [+]  Reply

"From the sumptuous strings of the intro, through to the chatting with the ‘tree people’ (who are hanging around the edge of the theatre to catch a free view of the concert) everything about this album is piping hot comfort. A steady stream of classic songs flow – Crunchy Granola Suite; Cherry, Ch..."  [+]  Reply

"Common is stretching out on this album. Fuller sounds, rougher beats, and more r&b flavour. He's feeling good, and his cockiness is leaking through. Still intelligent, and still possessing one of the smoothest flows in the game."  Reply

"There are some great versions of old classics here (Three O'Clock Blues, worried Life Blues, Key to the Highway) done by two of the greatest ever. The title track is probably the best version of that song ever recorded. A must have album for any blues fan."  Reply

"On my third or fourth play through and am disappointed :-( Different Gear still speeding was not a classic album by any means but it wasn't bad and had quite a few stand out tracks.
