"After the rather disappointing 1972 album "Carl And The Passions / So Tough" the Beach Boys are back on track with one of their strongest albums "Holland".

"Essential listening in the "Mott the Hoople" catalogue, and one of the great albums of the seventies. Stand out tracks are "All the Way from Memphis," "Hymn for the Dudes," and "I wish I were Your Mother," however there isn't a weak song on the entire album. Although Mott's LPs "All the Young Dud..."

"Will never forget the first time I put this on the turntable with volume cranked up high. Breaking glass. More glass breaking, Suddenly the breaking glass becomes rhythmic percussion, the exotic instrumentation eases in, and the madness begins. Bravo! Most people (especially those who didn't live..."

"The album is not as bad as I'll make it sound but these are real issues. The whole record sounds a like an white easy listening version of black soul.

"An all time classic, as well as the beginning of the so-called "Ditch Trilogy" along with On The Beach, and Tonight's The Night, which are classics also. All are HIGHLY recommended." Reply
