"Amazing album. Not released until 14 years after Chris Bell's death. It saddens me to think of all the great music he could have made and the possibility that he could have reformed Big Star at some point. Title song, You and Your Sister, Speed of Sound are melodic classics. The album is a must f..." [+] Reply
"Why are the ratings so low? It's a great follow up to a rock opera classic." Reply
"I'll make a comment in English and another one in Spanish. Los Fabulosos Cadillacs are the most iconic ska band in Latin America.

"Where has this been all my life? This is an album that is worth it for the first track alone. “Bloodletting” is a bluesy voodoo groove that sets the tone for this album perfectly.
