    A great album by a great performer and artist. Released 19 years after her 1989 album "Bulletproof Heart", Grace returns to form, mixing her new-wave artistry, now influenced by her Jamaican heritage. The results are quite strong. Listen to: Hurricane, Corporate Cannibal, This Is, Williams' Blood.

    this could be one of her very best comeback, its weirdness makes this album look like a kind of spectacular time-bomb, that's the way creativity goes.

    'Hurricane' is a biggest comeback by a veteran artist! Grace Jones's imagination it so dark and powerful that made me feel like I was inside the hell and on the same time on heaven. This is amazing!!!

    One of the best comeback albums an artist could make. Veteran Grace fans will instantly recognize it's her and her style upon first listen. Nearly 23 years after "Bulletproof Heart", Grace Jones still has that magic.

    This is the gem in her catalog for sure, a beautifully crafted masterpiece. The so-called music critics who have given the album only favorable reviews are truly clueless. They all can go back to kissing up to generic bands like u2 and britney spears.

    Although Guest's interpretations work well as an accompaniment piece, it's the return-to-form original (also included here in its entirety) which remains the more essential listen.

    Here, the tunes are dubbed to within an inch of their lives, reduced to fiddly-for-fiddling's-sake electronic bleeps and riffs. [Oct 2011, p.100]
