Lord_Corkscrew Jun 17 2011 2.00 stars
la confezione “futuristica” tipica del decennio cela un album composto quasi interamente dal tastierista Peter Wolf, che sarà di lì a poco responsabile del successo radiofonico degli Starship (è coautore di We Built This City e Sara, fra le altre); il disinteresse dell’interprete è talvolta trasparente, mentre gli arrangiamenti saccheggiano un intero repertorio di stilemi di pop commerciale (dal funk elettronico in All The Machines all’andatura in levare “alla Police” della strofa di Me and Me). Neppure nel suo selvatico predecessore la Slick era riuscita a nascondersi tanto dietro il materiale: qui, complice lo scarso controllo del prodotto e scelte timbriche estemporanee che portano ad un’atmosfera di stilizzata freddezza, si fatica a riconoscerla. Probabilmente il suo album più sbiadito.

To me this album is very much like a female fronted version of the Beach Boys Love You album. Music drenched in keyboards and synths and extremley quirky lyrics yet somehow it all works.

Totally 5 stars! An underrated album. The song-writing is brillant. I dig the music and the production. "Habits" reminds me of a Heart song. Ann Wilson could have easily recorded it. "It Just Won't Stop"

Call It Right, Call It Wrong/An incredible song about cultural diversity. Sheer intelligence!

I give it 5 stars on Grace's lyrics only. The music is ok if you like 80's synth-pop...it's way better than anything Mickey Thomas' "Starshit" ever produced.
