"Music doesn't really deserve 100/100 (not progressive enough), but the emotional roller coaster culminating in the transition between "Big Love" and "Over My Head" on my version of the CD is so beautiful that I have to give it 100 points out of debt for what it brings to me."  Reply

"This album could have been in my top 30 list if it had only 10 songs, but it has 4 songs too many and that ruins it a bit. Songs 10, 12, 13 and 14 are boring and don´t keep the quality of the rest of the album. The jewels: "No Hay Marcha En Nueva York", "Mujer Contra Mujer", "El Blues Del Esclavo..."  [+]  Reply

"Great album. More traditional metal verging on thrash. Where they had established themselves with constant heavy rhythms with melody. But fucking grunty melody. Top effort"  Reply

"No Joni Mitchell album is bad, still, this feels like a repetition of her all work. Smooth, well played&produced and samey. Not very challenging or groundbreaking. She keeps in her safe formats and ways to make music."  Reply

"I have been after a decent vinyl copy of this album for years! Finally, at last, picked up a near mint copy at a second hand vinyl shop yesterday. It is an excellent album with, as the title would suggest, a bit of a middle eastern theme to it. Ship of Fools is undoubtedly the high point but the ..."  [+]  Reply
