"A comparably 'tame' album from NYCs resident performance artist extraordinaire - this features Anderson's latent attempt at creating a 'pop' album. Although unwritten in the accompanying booklet what a listener will find here are some of this left field artist's most mainstream work." Reply

"A great collection of quality songs, only the production grinds a little, the Marr, Glenister guitars in Smith's mode after a while begin to irritate. Fifteen minutes is brilliantly observed as are many tracks, perfect pop song writing with the Kristy edge." Reply
"The Cardiacs most fluent album. Every song flows nicely from the previous and the classic line-up were probably at their best live around this time. No real week songs and a number of live favourites such as Roger the Horse and Arnald. However, the real stand out moments are Buds and Spawn and th..." [+] Reply

"I haven't listened to this tape (yes, a tape!) in over 25 years!

"Often referred to as a "coldwave" band because their lead singer and guitarist, Philippe Planchon, sounded like he was about to fall asleep on many of their recordings, this French group actually had some really good songs and a cool (not necessarily "cold") post-punk/wave sound.
