Review

I really love this album, like whole-heartedly love this album. It is an absolutely amazing piece of music. Listening to it for the first time put me in a trance and it felt nice. The whole album kind of feels like when you have a bad day, you come home and go to bed and the sleep is so relieving because you don't have to deal with anything anymore. It's so relaxing to listen to, it's like all your worries melt away in the music. I like the "vaccum cleaner" sound of it. It's a wonderful experience to listen to start to finish.

I love the flute sound in I Only Said, just have to say it. The live versions of these songs in London 1991 are also so amazing.

Also, the album cover is EXACTLY what the music sounds like! They really got the cover perfect, and it's also such a pretty shade of pink. One of my favorite covers of all time.

I really want this on CD.

Rating:★★★★☆ (4.5/5)

EDIT: I have this on CD now!
