"I can imagine that if I had heard this album in the early eighties would have an impression on me. Listening to it today, have such experience does not. After all, it's a solid average album. :)"  Reply

"How am I just hearing this? It’s stunning. It’s ... hard to explain. Shitty “review”. But I’ll try to be back later when I’ve digested it a couple dozen times. First takenis that it’s an utterly immersive and emotional metal album like none I’ve heard."  Reply

"One thing that makes this album very strong is the bass and drum foundation of the sound. This album is really built on solid ground, give an ear to those bass and drum lines ..."  Reply

"My favourite Against Me! album. I think this album strikes a good balance between angsty punk rock (Turn Those Clapping Hands Into Angry Balled Fists) and slower acoustic songs that you wouldn't expect to find on a punk record (Sink, Florida Sink)."  Reply

"After listening to this album, it is a vast, atmospheric album that is both somber but also beautiful in design. Recommend it to fans of albums like Harmony in Ultraviotet or Virgins from Tim Hecker or Birth of a New Day from 2814."  Reply

"Great debut with plenty of big hits on it. This is fun and catchy rock and roll that doesn't require a lot of thought to be able to enjoy. CC Deville's guitar playing sets the tone. Talk Dirty To Me sounds like it could be a New York Dolls song."  Reply
