"Painted from memory, is an ambitious collobaration with celebrated songwriter Burt Bacharach, but Elvis Costello does admirably, especially vocally, it's probably his best vocal performance of his career. Lyrically, he's on form, but sometimes the lyrics sound a bit too clever for their own good...." [+] Reply
"Love this album, reminds my growing up." Reply
"The swagger is there, he spits out verbal lashings as viciously as usual, but the beats aren't as memorable or the lyrics as deep as they could be." Reply

"Possibly Sloan's heaviest album. While I love Patrick's power pop, and here he has his signature song, "Money City Maniacs", this was the album where Andrew Scott truly shines. "Sinking Ships", "Seems So Heavy", and "On The Horizon" are the three best tracks, all penned by Scott." Reply
"Some interesting parts, some boring parts. It's also extremely long. Which doesn't bode well for the boring parts." Reply

"The sound featured in this work is extremely hypnotic, catchy, dark and ethereal. A very particular evolution of techno music and ambient combined. I think the more I'm going to listen to it, the more I'll like it." Reply
"Oh, I love the way the album ends, the final 3 tunes are immense. Strange Glue might be Cerys’ best vocal." Reply
"The 1st Mansun album I ever bought, was disappointed with both the prequal and the sequal, but this is stunning and Tom Bakers voice on "Witness to A Murder", amazing track, great album, often overlooked, dismissed even at the time, a bit of a concept album and brilliant start to finish." Reply
