"Been a Steve Miller fan going back some forty years. This is my favorite. From the long time radio favorite Space Cowboy to the gorgeous Seasons, Miller takes all the musical trends of the time and makes them his own. Something he always excels at. Give it a listen!"  Reply

"Actually, for many persons i know, one of the masterpieces of rock; frankly i do not considerate it like this, and most of all, i even could considerate this as the best album from Colosseum, but not big difference with the others. Anyway, for proto hard rock and prog lovers, cannot be missed."  Reply
