"This is a great album of latin tropical music. Great bachata and merengue. The molodies are rather beautiful here." Reply

"Mudhoney somehow gets overlooked when people give credit to 80s alt-rock pioneers. These guys are a tiny step behind the Pixies. This and Superfuzz are their best." Reply

"Possibly my favourite band of all time. When I heard they were making another album I was a bit worried. What if it's crap? I was happy with their legacy. But not to worry, this is every bit as good s the two albums that preceded it (nothing beats Angel Dust). They didn't miss a beat.." Reply
"Even though the production is very VERY dubious, Nusrat is a force of nature. The album has Tery Bina as its supreme light and what an amazing song that is. The second highlight but clearly far from the quality of Tery Bina is Mustt Mustt which is very funky & groovy. The rest of the album is not..." [+] Reply

"I don't think that this album is quite as good or emotional packed as Diary, but it's an absolute classic regardless. In terms of catchy melodies, the band hits their zenith here, probably the first album to listen to if you want to get acclimated with Sunny Day Real Estate." Reply
"This album is maybe the single most under appreciated albums I can think of ever. Long Fin Kille was an incredible band that diddnt really get the publicity they deserved, they were a little bit too ahead of the Times Music wise, had they came around maybe 4-5 years later they probably would have..."

"It isn't a secret or a surprise that Bush is limited musically. Their follow up to the immensely popular Sixteen Stone has less huge hit singles and more filler.
