"I think that this album tries to replicate the success of Eliminator by replicating event the song patters so well done, but without much success. The beat is too disco and dull when repeated in most of these songs. The lack of hits is another dilemma with this. Sleeping Bag and Rough Boy are the..." [+] Reply

"After two great records, this is the point the wheels were coming off the wagon. Home Sweet Home is undeniable, Louder Than Hell is the second best track, but wasn't good enough to make Shout. Other than that, there is filler all over the place. This is Mötley Crüe's St Anger." Reply

"Although it’s never made me jump up and down with excitement, the album has an uncanny ability to express that slightly below par melancholy sadness. So 38 years later it still gets a spin when we’ve had a couple of days drizzle and the mood is right. Or more accurately, slightly wrong." Reply

Totally irrelevant to anything apart from I still love it the same as I did then as a teenager. Always loved their singles that..." [+] Reply

"A good album but not quite up there with Balls, Restless, and Blood of the Nations." Reply
"This 3 CD set is unfathomable and unpredictable. Why include the dreadful live version of Baby Blue, but not Blind Willie Mctell? Some really inspired picks, such as the live version of Isis really bring something to the party, but a pointless I Don’t Believe You sounds like filler from a man who..." [+] Reply
