"Honestly I’ve listened to this album a lot of times and I didn’t like a lot of it at first. Now I think it’s amazing through and through and believe it is their most underrated album. Oh No Not Susan and Bluebird is Dead have two of the most beautiful melodies I’ve ever heard. Showdown is one of ..." [+] Reply

"A fantastic jazz fusion album that really stunned me on first listen and I have been hooked ever since. The performances on this album are just amazing and some of the solos on here are just astounding. Every instrument seems to be played so well and each has their own individual moment to shine...."

""This is a largely melody-based album- Its purpose is to find its way into your brain and stick there. There are piano hooks, lush vocal harmonies, and easily-clappable drum beats. There are cheesy lyrics, dated 70s moments, and clean production. Here on BEA we typically see those aspects as detr..." [+] Reply

"Really liked this album a lot—I've got the American version, not the original Dutch version, so it replaces Suzy Lunacy and Just Like Vince Taylor with the nice long, jazzy tune Big Tree Blue Sea. Anyway, I already knew Radar Love was a classic, but the remaining tracks (Candy's Going Bad, The Va..." [+] Reply
"A forgotten prog gem that I believe sits along prog classics like In The Court Of The Crimson King, and Close to the Edge. The album is two side long tracks of psychedelic, funky goodness. A very under appreciated album." Reply

"You guys moaning about not liking the compilations, saying stuff like you don't like them being removed from their "original albums", well, a lot of those songs weren't even originally on any albums. If you want certain songs, I.e; I feel fine, she loves you, paperback writer, lady Madonna, hey j..." [+] Reply

"The minimilist structure and repetitive rhythm of the album is closer to "Sister Ray" than their seminal debut. The percussion is relentless amongst distorted guitar sounds which trump melody. The latter is effectively abandoned in favour of an eerie narrow expressiveness. The album contains vers..." [+] Reply

"This is a very unique album. The musicianship is superb and the styles weave between rock, jazz, prog and the downright bizarre. I think this is the best of the Radio Gnome trilogy. 'You' is strong, but this is the most intersting listen imo. If I can, I want to get this and Flying Teapot on viny..." [+] Reply
"I struggle to warm to this one - it feels like they're trying to repeat Thick As A Brick, but don't quite make the mark. It has its flashes, but I don't return to this one as often. The last of their prog-heavy records before they momentarily became poppier, before exploring English folk influences." Reply
