"I almost think I like this album as much as Fire of Love. Hard to call because they are pretty different, but this album is amazing. Nearly every song is a favorite. But damn, Fire of Love is a tough one to top."  Reply

"My favorite album of 1984. There's just something freaking nostalgic about that 80s new wave sound to me. Cheesy 80s new wave brilliance at it's greatest. Well this or Men At Work."  Reply

"Rickie Lee Jones 3rd studio album is one of her best. Gravity, It Must Be Love and Runaround are all brilliant songs , the final tracks are a mini suite - Rorschachs/Theme For The Pope - The Unsigned Painting/The Weird Beast and is a haunting end to the album."  Reply

"This was like nothing I had ever heard. Mossiman's playing was like sledgehammer. Gira was the singer I didn't want to be because his world sonded so terrifying. I loved the danger of this album."  Reply

"This is my favourite album of all time. I was lucky enough to get hold of a mint copy to replace my very worn original copy, only available, if at all, on vinyl I believe. This takes me back to my late teens, very eighties, very slick in production at a time when reverb was added to everything, b..."  [+]  Reply
