"I prefer this and Eat to the Beat to Parallel Lines. Not by much, but this album here is a little more surprising or something. And it's more lasting. For me, it's outlasted Parallel Lines." Reply

"This album is difficult. Not an easily assessable band this record carries on in the same vein as The Modern Dance. You have to give it several listens to reap the rewards and it's worth it." Reply

"I'm not a Willie Nelson fan or a country music fan, but a friend of mine took me to the Hollywood Bowl a few years ago to hear Willie Nelson play this album in its entirety.
