"This album is an underrated gem, and I suppose was slightly out of place for the time it was released back in 1991. However, really this another classic album from Dire Straits that stands the test of time. Ticket To Heaven is the sleeper tack and timeless track on this album for me." Reply

"This album seemed to come from nowhere and was pivotal to the whole early 90's alternative movement. It is one of my favorite albums and is solid all the way through. It is a mix of soft and catchy tunes with hooks and sideline diversions." Reply

She wasn't afraid of backlash and didn't care about sales, she just wanted to say what was on her mind. But, sadly the album does get a little bit lost in itself. The songs run a little long, i..."

"Very nice compilation with 2 new great tracks - superhit 'Justify My Love' and unfortunately, so criminally underrated 'Rescue Me'. Also, I love new version of 'Like A Prayer'" Reply

"I was 11 years old when this album came out. My brother had just started learning to play bass. Naturally, this is the record he wanted to learn to play. Taking his lead, this quickly became my favorite album of that time. I was obsessed. Calypool's bass still sounds like no other." Reply
