Rolling Stone (5/14/70, p.52) - "...Chuck Berry simply oozes from the album...a very conscious attempt to do for teenage America what the rock and roll of the Fifties did instinctively and naturally--create a young community of spirit, affection, excitement, and self-conciousness..." -Greil MarcusEntertainment Weekly (9/11/92, p.90) - "...MC5 played simple songs with ferocious, claustrophobic energy, taking cues from Chuck Berry and setting an incendiary rock & roll standard that still stands..." - Rating: AQ (7/93, p.110) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...The finest hours of Detroit's nearly men, MC5...[the album] opts for a crackling, toppy sound...an energetic reinvention of classic rock moves spiced with their radical politics..."Alternative Press (11/92, p.79) - "...Harnessing their manic energy to an extremely precise rock & roll format, producer Jon Landau and the band created an unique no-frills sound which has endured as one of punk's ancestral inspirations....A furious testament..."4.390078

Rolling Stone (2/21/91) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Sting's most ambitious record yet, and maybe his best...the nine pieces are minidramas of intensity and will...Sting's poetic language makes for a sort of sensory theater, darkly lit, almost Gothic. The effect at times is a bit overwhelming, but it's gripping too, the tossing and turning of an anxious superman."Q (2/91) - 4 Stars - One of Q Magazine's 50 best albums of 1991.Stereo Review (4/91) - "...the album is not an entertainment so much as a meditation...an important work..."4.191971

Rolling Stone (12/21/00, p.175) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...One of the 1st smash hits of the Seattle explosion....it codified, with heart and muscle, the heavy angush of the Puget sound....proof that the angst that defined Seattle rock inthe 1990s was not cheap sentiment..."Musician (7/91) - "...offers a potent distillation of Seattle's sonic sludge, with plenty of slow-mo riffing and louder-than-life guitar. It backs that sound with songs so potent and emotional that they tower over most of today's hard rock. Well worth hearing..."Kerrang (Magazine) (p.51) - "[I]n 'Hunger Strike', a duet featuring then-unknown vocalist Eddie Vedder, they produced one of the most touching and emotional songs of the '90s."4.163868
