"This album has 4 classic tracks: Dirty Girl, Rescue Me, Hurricane and I Believe In You. A brilliant song (although a bit tinny in production) in Squeeze and then 5 other good tracks. Fantastic - worth a listen and Y&T at their best."  Reply

"6 years after the mysterious Swedish artist Sputnik released their Bandcamp cult classic Come In, the hype for the follow-up was massive. I loved that album, but suspected with so much time passing, that the lightning in a bottle quality of that record would be gone. Not only did its follow up re..."  [+]  Reply

"Considered by enlightened reviewers to be his finest album. No it's not all smooth listening like other albums, in fact some of it is difficult listening. But this is precisely why it's probably his best album, and will delight a wise listener for years."  Reply

"His best album in terms of high levels of consistency, but creatively I will always prefer his first album, Instant Vintage. All his music is superp, keep it up Ray Ray"  Reply

"With a all the guests and forays into other genres, I was worried about this one, but Within Temptation pulls it all off brilliantly. It is listenable but still fully symphonic/gothic at its core, and even the addition of rap doesn't detract from it's essence--it is used wisely to enhance the son..."  [+]  Reply

"Dec20. I just love the sound of these guys. The bridge between Nirvana and 2000s emo, with a good bit of punk thrown in. Not sure how such bleak lyrics and sounds can make me feel so good. They just express things so directly. If wallowing in mysery over 2020 or suffering from some anxiety, then ..."  [+]  Reply

"Nice album, but not the best album from Kashmir. Something happened on this album where I don't think the songs are as great as on the last three albums. Also I think the sound is a bit to overproduced and Kasper's (the lead singer) voice also sounds a bit nasal and auto-tuned at times. Still a g..."  [+]  Reply
