"The Triffids are one of those Aussie bands that receive recognition in sacred circles and not the mainstream populus. 'Unmade Love' is a great track that holds up today in an underrated album." Reply

"Best Whitney album, didn't realise how many favourites I had on here although alot of hits were released, 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' clearly the best track, 'Just the Lonely talking' a personal favourite of mine." Reply

"This album is completely underrated in the VM canon and has some very poorly thought out out ratings here. Go back and listen again, people! Spanish Steps opens the album... leading into The Mystery which can be thought of as Van's mature revisitation of Into the Mystic. Queen of the Slipstream i..." [+] Reply

"All perfectly serviceable songs, no real lows, but the main problem with the album is that there isn’t a really brilliant song on here that blows your socks off. The closest to brilliance here would be the opener and the closer which are both great." Reply

"The album is basically the UK release of Louder Than Bombs and actually predates LTB by a couple of months. Both were collections of singles that didn't appear on any Smiths studio albums.

"Consistent third (and last) album; solid 8.5/10 until the plodder of Big Snake which may have got away with it if it was 90 seconds shorter. Doesn't realy pick up after that with Hey Rusty following, again not the strongest, and finishing with These Days which is a nice closer but no real substan..." [+] Reply
"Classically trained Multi-instrumentalist Amanda Brown joined The Go-Betweens for Tallulah, and her skills on violin, oboe, guitar, and keyboards helped usher in the band’s most commercially oriented era. The Go-Betweens benefited from a lusher, more detailed sound – the richly textured 16 Lovers..." [+] Reply
"I own three Eurythmics LP's, this one, Sweet Dreams and Touch, and of the three this is the best. OK it's not their more punchy synthpop, or their more mainstream stuff, but as an album it's more consistent. Bit 'tongue in cheek' in places it seems to me, not taking themselves too seriously, and ..." [+] Reply
"Everybody should own a Pastels' album. Stephen Pastel is such a great front man. I remember travelling through to Paisley to see the Pastels. We were all so excited at the prospect. It was a great night. We all bought Pastels badges to wear." Reply
