BJ Morgan gave it a 10:
This album, while a departure for Cale at times, is a fantastic masterpiece. It makes me wish Lou Reed could put out a cohesive, meaningful, and stunning like this. At this point, John Cales solo recordings far surpass that of his VU-counterpart. This record is evidence of a master songwriter.
daniel r gave it a 10:
Deepening with each listen, a playful, dark, haunting journey past Mondrian and Archimedes to Charlie Brown. Good grief.
GEORGE D gave it a 10:
Good as always
Michael M gave it a 10:
Remarkable album, darkest blacks and crispest whites sitting together but never blurring to grey, with songs and remarkable production that reveal greater depths each time I listen to it.
John K gave it a 10:
An incredibly strong album, possibly the best of his long career. Gets better with each listen. Remarkable depth and beauty. I do not give out a 10 lightly, but this is probably the best album of the year.
xc xc gave it an 8:
real good totally different from the velvet underground. Yet still manages to sound real creative and extremely druggy.
