"Possibly the most bizarre album cover ever. Nonetheless, the songs and arrangements are beautiful; when they cover a song they really make it their own." Reply
"Wildly underrated on this site. He is the modern Canadian equivalent of Woody Guthrie or Pete Seeger lyrically - but he is a musical genius and one of the world's greatest guitarists to boot. I can only say that the ratings for him reflect more on the ignorance of Canadian music of the people usi..." [+] Reply
"Really one of the best compilations" Reply
"This album is underrated. It's crime being that it's sandwiched between Priest's two best albums: British Steel and Screaming For Vengeance. 'Solar Angels', 'Desert Plains', 'Heading Out To The Highway' are all strong songs. Halford's vocals are very entertaining on songs like 'Don't Go' and 'You..." [+] Reply

"A beautiful album. Peter Gabriel sings some of his classic songs over some lovely orchestration. I was a bit dubious before I heard this but it is quite sublime. Excellent." 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
"Burial has two full length studio albums to his name. Both are classics and game-changers in the genre of minimalist electronic music. He is undoubtedly the benchmark electronic artist of today. But here we have what I believe are two of his best albums, both EPs, combined into a full length albu..." [+] Reply
