My Favorite Album - Period

"I've been a fan of Echo since I was thirteen, frankly, a long time ago now. I've grown up and Echo and the Bunnymen have to. This album is a celebration of that. Ian's vocals are rich with life in this recording and the lyrics are more meaningful than any I have ever read from any musical artist. If you want to dance look elsewhere - if you want to really reflect on life and revel in it's beauty get this album and be prepared for some great songs - they will not disappoint!"

Older doesn't mean dead, or does it ?

"I've been a Bunnymen fan since the early 80's, am a couple of years younger than Mac, but nowhere near as dead.



It's fine to move on and not live in the past, it's fine to be reflective, but this album sounds as if Ian is on death's doorstep.



If you like downbeat almost Burt-Bacharach-ish schmaltzy ballads, this album is for you.



Pick up the pace Ian, surely you have SOME spark left ??

Splendid

"The best Echo album ever, in my opinion. To hell with those who criticize artists for not being "innovative" or "new." This album is the most recent distillation of the Echo genius; it's unmistakably Echo, but filtered through years of experience. What I'm trying to say is that the reason I love it is that band didn't stray from their style to appease anyone. If you're an Echo fan, you'll love this album."
