"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

"Fantastic return to form. I loved the previous effort, Ti Amo, but this album feels like a continuation on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with less Guitar and Drums in favour of Keyboards and Drum Machines."  Reply

"It sounds like a tenplate for 'Snowflakes are Dancing' to me, much more raw & experimental, earlier, but unlike Snowflakes some of this gets lost in Father Time's Translations."  Reply

"Baker knows how to set a mood, and she does so again here on her fourth album. This disc has all the hallmarks of a great Baker album. There's calm, soothing ballads by the handful, a couple of thumping up-tempo numbers and tremendous singing all through out."  Reply

"This is THE BEST comp for an introduction to Howlin' Wolf!!! His first two LPs on one CD!?? Damn!... you can't go wrong here. And just check the track listing; these 24 classic songs might be all the Wolf you'll ever need."  Reply
