"The call and response vocals are interesting. The repetition and long track lengths are meant to induce relaxation and a sort of trance of enlightenment, apparently. They do get into a nice groove at times: best was "Ali Maula". The underlying melody isn't always compelling, and the long track le..."  [+]  Reply

"Pretty good compilation but I'd include "Generator", "Hey Johnny Park!", "Low", "I'll Stick Around" rather than "Breakout", "Skin and Bones", "Big Me". There are two new songs, "Wheels" and "Word Forward" which are both strong to excellent. This is a decent introduction to the Foos, but I find th..."  [+]  Reply

"How could someone ever give a Lee Hazlewood album a 5? All of his output (solo, with Nancy Sinatra, Duane Eddy, etc) are gold. He was a master songwriter, producer, and arranger. And I hardly even like most country music. This guy is the real deal."  Reply

"I am ashamed to say that I bought the deluxe version purely for the 5.1 version. It just demonstrates that I am desperate to purchase 5.1 knowing how boring and uninspiring the album will be. I loved the Ayreon albums from The Final Experiment to The Universal Migrator (inclusive). But since then..."  [+]  Reply

"One of the best albums I've ever heard. A grower of sorts, but so incredible either way. Also, I can't think of any album that's bookended with as strong of tracks as this one. "Swimming Fields" and "Run Out" get me every time. Anyhow, this is a great album, and everyone should give it a whirl."  Reply
