"Really bad. Dull, no good songs and Natalie's vocals are low in the mix, Rob's guitar gets all the prominence, it's no wonder she left. On the two previous albums each song is a story but here you can't even make out what the vocals are saying, let alone be drawn in to them."  Reply

"The main reason why I consider that this is an excellent album is because the lyrics are very powerful, imaginative and literate and because the way Nacho Vegas sings goes perfectly well with the mood of the music and the lyrics. I also like the sound of the album, as especially the guitars, but ..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is a personal favorite of mine that I can repeat endlessly and NEVER get tired of it. It lives and breathes 1994, oozes of Grunge, and has one of the most creative voices of our time in frontman Vaden Todd Lewis. Every song is amazing. This album should be recognized, instead of ignored."  [+]  Reply

"I agree that this is hard to sit through the first time around. However, once you give it a few more listens you start to realize just how amazing this album is. Starting off with great songs like Dr. Rock, Sorry Charlie, Pollo Asada, Right to the ways and the rules of the world, this album hits ..."  [+]  Reply

"I know this album where Deep Purple goes symphonic is seen as one of the worst attempts of a rock band playing classical music. Well: I don't agree: the interplay with the London Symphonic orchestra is outstanding and the guitar solos really rock: so don't listen to the critics and listen for you..."  [+]  Reply

"A somewhat neglected album that I would rate (slightly) higher than "The Last In Line" (their prior album). Tracks 1/4/5/7 are great. Everything else is pretty good too. The weakest for me are 3/9 but they are alright. There's a little bit of that cheese you will find in most mid-80's metal, but ..."  [+]  Reply

"Comfortably one of the best jazz/rock fusion albums I've heard. Tony Williams on the drums, John McLaughlin with guitar and Larry Young on the Organ. All on full cylinders here."  Reply
