"Was looking forward to this album for a while. After being surprised by their first effort I was interested to see if they can pull it off again. They certainly did as I find myself enjoying this album even more than their first!"  Reply

"This is actually the best version of "Hotel California". Side One (on CD) is flawless. Like having honey poured on your ears and Elle MacPherson licking it off, slowly. Shame the honey runs out on CD2 but you can't have everything."  Reply

"These guys could do little wrong for me, personally thought this was a strong and consistent set of songs, nothing would have been out of place on a more trendy record by Talk Talk, for eg. Great musicianship and not over produced. Helps it stand up thirty years later."  Reply
