"Hit me hard when I wasn't paying attention. Genius." Reply
"I am referring to the single disc version here. Marillion managed to hit the jackpot with the collection of songs. Briliant start and end tracks filled with wonderful shorter tracks. This is the last of the Marillion classics" Reply
"A fairly solid listen, proving that even a lesser Harvey record still is better than most. Still, it's probably the only PJ record that is, well, "just another" PJ record" Reply

"The fact that I had young daughters who listened to this incessantly and the fact that she is a Canuck breakthrough seriously colour my opinion of this. I for one cannot resist Nobody's Home. Do I find pleasure in this? Guilty!" Reply
