This is an overlooked gem...

"This album is a very good 70's pop album start to finish, there's not a bad song on it. One of my all time favorite 'lesser known' songs is the track 'Older'. Take a chance on it."

Excellent!

"For me, possibly their best album. Maybe I'm prejudiced because it was the first Klaatu I heard. "A Routine Day" is classic from beginning to end. "Dear Christine" is sort of a historical love song. "Mister Manson" takes shots at Charlie and at Timothy Leary. "Cherie" is a lovely string-quartet-and-harpsichord waltz. "Silly Boys" takes a song from their first album and plays the tape backwards (vocals and all), which results in a new song with truly bizarre lyrics ("Hark and enamour me/May I survive?/Ah Sir Army Suit/You're psychic").



Overall, very melodic, with some great harmonies, and well played, with some Beatlesque (of course!) moments."

Not as good as the first, but better than the second.

"Pop arranging and production alone made this a viable listening experience. They attempted to go back to square one after their second album being a concept classical music album flopped artistically and commercially.



Again, if you like alittle Beatles light weight pop (as I do) than you came to the right album. Tracks 1,2,6,8 and 9 are worthy of the cost of the cd."
