"There's no way a popular band with this much talent were going to carry on making albums like this forever, but the mix of hard rock licks and melodies makes this my favourite Queen album by a mile."
"Our introduction to the great scandinavian quartet with Jan Garbarek. Infectious tunes and incisive ensemble playing combine to give a treat for your ears"
"Not a favourite with a lot of Strawbs fans as this is where they turned into a prog rock band. Which is probably why I like it so much ! Cousins' songwriting is very strong on here."
"An acquired taste, so I'm told. If you like keen poetic lyrics and strong arrangements of your songs then give this a whirl. The Road of Silk was his finest hour."
"If you thought you didn't like funk ( but I always did ) then give this slice of downhome grooves a whirl. If this doesn't get yor butt moving there's no hope for you, I'm afraid."
"The blueprint for the completely unique Be-Bop Deluxe sound, helped along by the great ears of Roy Thomas Baker. Just the right balance between gritty and slick."
"The first two albums by this band are just the business - taking the Sly Stone sound, moving it up a notch and letting it run free. Soulful Fonk of the highest order."
"Shoot me down in flames, but I think this is a slightly better album overall than Innervisions. Full of the kind of invention few other writers could hold a candle to."
"I felt so sorry for people who'd lost their way with Yes by this time. It's a different sound with Moraz on board, sure - but the band really do COOK on 'Gates of Delirium' , Exciting stuff !"
"The brace of 3 albums including this and the two before it are peerless examples of what this sorely underrated band could do. Hard funk, ballads, greasy instrumentals - and those horns !"
"Must have raised a few eyebrows at the time, as Joni left the beads and bangles of the '60's behind for good. Stunning songs, stunning arrangements and a glimpse of even greater things to come."
"If you've only heard some of Zappa's stranger, more dense works and not been impressed then try this. Just the right balance between dirty rock and hot jazzy licks. Works for me."
"Something of a unique album in the Report catalogue, balancing out complex jazzy workouts with delicate, tender and spacey atmospheres too. Highly recommended !"
