"what the hell did i just listen to!? it's weird, as alluded by the title (and that creepy album art). but it's strangely captivating. i need to listen again a couple of times. this is either a new favorite or, er, do i even know? it's bizarre. that is a sure thing." Reply

"One of the best Marvin Gaye albums, full of smooth soulful vibes and Marvin's amazing vocals. The album flows from start to finish similar to Let's Get it On but less structured, a more relaxed sound. I Want You, After The Dance, Come Live With Me Angel & Feel All My Love Inside are the best trac..." [+] Reply

"Don't Believe A Word the strongest track here I agree,Borderline,Massacre,Johnny good tracks also not a patch on the 'Jailbreak' album though but a good listen." Reply
"Highly underrated on this sight. I was surprised to see it ranked so low. For me this is easily in Bob’s top 5 albums. Positive Vibration, Roots, Rock, Reggae, Crazy Baldman, Who The Cap Fit, War and Rat Race are favs of mine." Reply

"The austere and elegant chamber music of Penguin Cafe Orchestra is steeped in Renaissance and Baroque traditions combining elements of folk and cabaret. Exotic arrangements consisting of delicate and languid laments create feelings of nostalgic longing. This is the ensembles best and most experim..." [+] Reply

"Belchior's 2nd record and his greatest classic _ almost all of the tracks are pretty well-known in Brazil and were rerecorded several times by other artists. It's like a Dylan-inspired record in terms of lyrics, with the themes of "the new" and "the youth" being recurrent, as well as a fixation o..." [+] Reply

"Another brilliant Frank Zappa when he was at his solo best. The torture never stops, is one of his all time great tracks and, wind up workin' in a gas station, is a great opener. One of Zappa's ten essential albums." Reply
