"I first heard Toploader at a bar in London last month. They were blasting "Dancing in the Moonlight" and my hips took over. From that point on everywhere I went in London this tune followed. It is such a melodious upper I was forced to pay the pounds for the album. I was expecting more light and silly of this band but they threw me off. The rest of the songs are crushingly strong and truthful. The soul is so thick I swear I can smell the earth. My counsel to anyone looking for a new album is to check out Toploader. Give it time in your ears and it will grow to be a favorite."
70's style - a classic

"One of the best (or possibly the best album) I have bought and heard in a long time. If you like 70's tunes then you should fall over backwards to listen to this beauty!! Theres three hit singles on the album - 'just hold on', 'dancing in the moonlight' (wicked song) and 'achilles heel' (a bit slow but good never the less)! The rest of the songs on the album (all nine of them) aren't very popular or well known but nevertheless they sound sooo familar - there the type of songs which you want to sing along to even though you've never heard them before and don't know the words! A real classic of an album. Definately worth a buy. Happy listening!!!"
A nice surprise....

"I have to be honest I only bought the album because of "Dancing in the Moonlight" which is played all the time in Stockholm where I am living. I was pleasantly surprised with the rest of the album. It is really enjoyable, and really fresh compared to all the watered-down Pop we are saturated with on the radio these days!"
