"More perfectly adequate hip hop from the late 80s. However, q-tip shows up a few times and its like a flash of excitement when he appears... making the album a better advertisement for a tribe called quest than making a case for itself."  Reply

"As a seventeen year old I was impacted by the bombast and sonic power on show. My stereo struggling to cope with the loudness of the record, presumably set with the intent to blow your amp. Great tracks include where were you hiding when the storm broke, the lovely tell me and the stand out decei..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a fantastic compilation album. I used to have the cassette version in the eighties and even though the CD release has more tracks, it strangely omits, honesty, which was on the tape version. Oh well, it's an excellent record. All the masterpieces are here; piano man, new york state of min..."  [+]  Reply

"I remember this album coming out in 2012 and just passed over it, trying a few snippets in iTunes because of the cover art. It took hearing track 4 on the Netflix show 'the end of the ****ing world' to give the album a try, and fell in love with it. Ordered on vinyl."  Reply

"Average album. Best 10 songs average is 71,7/100 and the album can get average 70/100. Ok I'm not very fan of R&B, so this music generally gets no high rating. And I also don't like such "screaming" female soul voices. However best songs are "Superwoman" and "The thing about love" both average 75..."  [+]  Reply

"I can’t say that I have a close relationship with "Editors". The only thing I noticed a while back was that the band sounded like some sort of Joy Division "light" to me. It was only a feeling and possibly not justified, but I still felt that there was a relationship between the voice of Ian Curt..."  [+]  Reply
