"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

"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

"It's not a bad album and the singles are good. It's a nice non-threatening listen that showcases Ed's stylistic contributions to Radiohead. It's no George Harrison but it's a nice collection of songs. Radiohead fans are going to enjoy it. It sounds exactly what you'd expect from an Ed O'Brien sol..."  [+]  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
