"Debatably their best album, Strange Free World had a number of great tracks. My faves were Drive That Fast and Within the Daze of Passion. KoD are often linked with other shoegazer bands but Imo their sound was far more direct. regardless of classification, this is excellent guitar driven stuff."  Reply

"Some great versions of some fabulous tunes here. Andrew Strong puts his own stamp on songs like Mustang Sally and Try a Little Tenderness, and Maria Doyle shines as well. Both the album and the movie were instrumental in getting me into Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and soul in general."  Reply

"You would think a reunion album with all eight of the band's Rock Hall of Fame members would be great, but it's rather disappointing. It's just very safe and doesn't quite feel like the adventurous Yes!"  Reply

"Del tha Funkee Homosapien was doing underground hip hop before underground hip hop even existed. While Del is from the west coast, don't confuse his sound with other west coast hip hop.

"Mechanical Resonance was great, The Great Radio Controversy even better. However the boys managed to step up a grade on this one and it comes from IMO better and glossier production.
