"I've got this on CD, and I'm trying to find out if side one of the original LP was really 29 minutes in 1968--I didn't even know they could do that technically back then. Anyway, it stretches languidly across that 29 minutes, as welcoming and exploratory as Kind Of Blue; jazz and non-jazz fans al..." [+] Reply
"Imagine if The Beatles continued to record German versions of their popular songs. For example, "Ich bin das Walroß."" Reply
"A buddy of mine in Reno has this album in the CD player of his car for the better part of the four years I lived there, having been introduced to M. Ward at the Treasure Island Music Festival at some point in the mid-2000s. I was hooked upon hearing it. There's a sort of spiritual gravity to musi..." [+] Reply

"Some say this is the best album Springsteen never made. It's interesting it is full of his influence. This might have been the direction Bruce went if he wasn't bitter over all the legal troubles. That said, this is still a really good album on it's own merits." Reply
"I am surprised that this album is sitting in 14th position. As far as I'm concerned it's up there with Blackout and Lovedrive. First two tracks are awesome! 'Lady Starlight' is a personal favourite." Reply
"Groovy and spacious with stunning stuffy female vocals, intricate guitar patterns and heavy dub rhythms. Thanx to Piccadilly Records for the recommendation." Reply

"Due to oversaturation on the airwaves of "Two Princes" this album unfortunately goes underrated and overlooked. It's actually an incredibly solid guitar-rock album. The Doctors never did anything as good again (nor was their debut album in this class), but this one's great from start to..." [+] Reply

"Listening to this on YouTube isn't doing this justice. Definitely need to listen to this without ads to get the full effect. Plus it's really long so I need to plan a time to fully appreciate it because what I've heard so far is pretty epic. Highly recommend for anyone who loves dark atmospheric ..." [+] Reply
