This recording is compelling and superb. It’s both wonderful and historically essential for any American music collection.

Forget about the critiques of this record. Buy it and prepare yourself for a heavy duty excursion into realms of Christian indie rock music that no longer exists. This is a very innovative and intriguing listen that is well worth your time. Shame that there’s not more inventive stuff like this out there. Check out their first record while you’re at it. Superb musicianship.

Okay, so music and individual tastes are always subjective. I think that the majority of critics are either looking for something not to like or just pompous twits who take themselves way too seriously. With that being said, I really like this record a lot. On the initial listening I discerned that there was indeed something special about it. So, I was compelled to give it another spin. That’s when I realized that it’s treading into brilliant territory. It’s mature and beautifully melodic with lots of catchy hooks and harmonies. I’ve never really been a fan of this band before because I thought that they were too simplistic and regurgitative. This is toe tapping and uplifting. If you like joyful music that makes you feel good listening to it then you have found a keeper. It’s got a vibe and complexity that makes you want to hear it again and share it with others. Isn’t that what makes good music special in the first place?

This record deserves instant classic status. It’s a masterpiece of late 60’s early 70’s guitar rock that’s been wonderfully crafted and reimagined to a sublime standard. Tony Visconti is smiling somewhere.

In my humble opinion, this is the best recording that he’s done in quite some time. It’s gleefully and brutally and irresistibly weird all at once. I have not really enjoyed or found any of his solo releases compelling enough to be able to listen to in their entirety until this one here. It’s got a razor’s edge spontaneity that reels one in immediately for the entire wild, raucous ride. Sounds almost like a White Stripes offering on steroids with a tweaked studio gadgetry effect. It’s definitely weird(which I personally enjoyed and found refreshing)but worth your time. Bottom line: if you like shards and slabs of fatback bacon guitars searingly sneering at you at breakneck speed then you’re likely going to be enthralled from start to finish.
