Very well done album, especially the guitar bass and drums.

Very good album. 2 solid top 40 hits with smart progressions and rhythms still relevant today. Whole album has a nice upbeat reggae feel with nice surprising contrapuntal beats by Stewart Copeland. Inventive chording with mixed damped strumming and open chords by Andy Summers. Sting's bass is the solid, simple backbone which is required when you have the lead vocal duties to manage as well. Very consistent throughout developing a strong memorable and unique sound that carried them for a long time. Wish they could have created a few more verses in some songs instead of repeating them but maybe Sting didn't want to have to remember too many live. I can relate. We are not all Bob Dylan.

Not my cup of tea when it came out. Still not but appreciate the effort for the times.

Okay. Not a big Skynyrd fan but appreciate the chance to listen to it again. Deserves a following due to the bands dedication to their craft, musicianship and song writing. But won't be going to my desert island.

Solid album. Good tight performance with quality sound engineering.

Very good album all around. Did some research and tried another one of his "Sea Change". Even better. I give that one a 5.

Lots of effort but not my cup of tea, or whisky.

Perfect album. Billy wrote a masterpiece. All great songs that display an artist at the peek of his talents in songwriting, musicianship and singing. He sings hard when he wants to rock (like Movin' Out, and Only The Good Die Young) and tender when the song needs it (like Always a Woman and Just The way You Are), and moves with ease between them both with subtle variances. The production is impeccable and the other musicians shine with every note and hit being a well considered perfect choice. Every song paints a picture and they all are perfect. I love this album.

The strongest personnel makeup of Deep Purple showing why they were so phenomenal as a live band playing iconic hard rock songs with the freedom and ability to improvise within them very effectively.

Consistent straight forward punk rock. Only 4 strings required and strong flexible wrists plus a maniac drummer. Fun stuff.

Not quite as good as the soft bulletin, but still very good.

Very good album.
