"An underrated Beth Orton. It is a really good record and deserves a little bit more attention. Not as great as, trailer park, or, central reservation, but a very good album."  Reply

"Super underrated album, especially on this site. I didn't really hear anyone making this type of music when this came out in 2001. The closest would probably be Rival Schools. I guess it would be considered post punk. It sounds more modern now than it did when it was released. If you haven't hear..."  [+]  Reply

"Common is stretching out on this album. Fuller sounds, rougher beats, and more r&b flavour. He's feeling good, and his cockiness is leaking through. Still intelligent, and still possessing one of the smoothest flows in the game."  Reply

"It's taken a long time for me to form an opinion of this album. I've tried to really like it, and I should. But something has always felt slightly amiss and I couldn't work out what.

"Very, very impressive live album. The piano performance by Shoji Aketagawa really pulls it all together for me, so much so that to me it is high on my list of best jazz piano recordings.
