"I can't help but notice that there are very few comments on this album. On other record review sites this album is put down a lot. I just don't get the hate. This is a great album IMHO. I'll admit that it's not on the top of the heap of concept albums like "Thick As A Brick", "2112" or "The Lamb ..."  [+]  Reply

"Re entered with correction. Opion hasn't changed. Excellent album. I have all of Budgie's early works on vinyl and all the albums are excellent, this one though is top of the tree. Budgie had a natural ability to move from Black Sabbathesque riffery into mello beautiful balladry. The first two tr..."  [+]  Reply

"Thankfully sounds a lot more like James Blake from Overgrown than say...The Weeknd. The ending of Precious Love is pretty corny, but I think Face Again and Repeat Pleasure make up for it. I enjoyed this overall, but I don't know when I'll come back to it."  Reply

"I cannot believe that I am the first one to comment on this album! If you have any interest in 2000s Indie folk rock then check it out. The best lyrics ever combined with music that is rocking, emotional and suprising at the same time. This band saved my life and warmed my heart a lot of times. 2..."  [+]  Reply
