One of my top 5 albums of all time

I bought this album when it was released 11 (11!!) years ago on the strength of a review in Rolling Stone magazine.  I listened to it driving south through the Susquehanna Valley of central Pennsylvania on a stiflingly hot night in August, and I can still remember hearing  "Dreamer," haunting and gorgeous, as the wide, moonlit  Susquehanna River sped by on my left.  It is a memory that will never fade.  This album made me feel special, and I felt like "Union" was my  wonderful little secret, even though I tried to turn everyone on to it.  So  what a pleasant surprise to see all the rave reviews.  I agree - it is one  of the most underrated and shamefully forgotten albums of the '80's.  Listening to this album today is just as powerful as it was then, and it  reminds me of who I was then and how much I have changed.  God bless this  album!

Absolutely one of my all-time favorite albums. Not a clunker on it, in my opinion. Play it loud and often.

This album has taken me to another place in every aspect. I have not listened to an album for over a month straight like I have with Ivywild, in the longest time. I feel like a kid again discovering and listening to my favorite cassettes over and over again.

The musical transitions in each song, the instrumentation, the way it was mixed, the way it was produced. A true masterpiece. The album grows on you like a sweet fungus.  Between me and my two other friends, we all chose different first listen favorites. Just comes to show how many gems are on this album. Every time I re-listened to the album (about 40 times I'd say), a song that I thought was good became greater and greater. You end up falling deeper and deeper in love with it with every pass.

In this day in age with music flying at us left and right, it's sometimes easy to overlook a find such as this, and that is why I search for new albums every day. I know that through all the tons of albums I look through, I will eventually come across a treasure that makes the search all worthwhile.

Thank you so much for taking your time to put out quality music that will be remembered forever by listeners who know how to appreciate gems like this one here.

Thank you!

This is one of those albums where every song is amazing.  I have pretty much already worn this out because I listen to it so often.  I listen to a lot of music and to be quite honest, this may be one of my all time favorite albums (as a whole).  Like most people, I originally bought it becuase there were a few songs I like but after one listen all the way though, I was instantly hooked to every single song offered.  I lost my first copy some time ago and was really craving a bit of Everything in Transit and the fact that I found it so easily and cheap was even better.  It was even still in the shrink wrap when I received it.

When people ask me what my favourite album of all time is, I reply that it is this. Metcalfe's voice is unique and the big sound of the band gives every track an anthemic sound. This from a guy who lists his favourite bands as Between The Buried and Me and Dream Theater. This album is not heavy and it is nearly thirty years old, but my God it rocks!!
Definitely, an album you should hear before you die.
Brilliant and timeless.

This is one of my all time favorite albums that I can listen to again and again. I don't know why I waited so long to buy a physical copy but just having it on iTunes wasn't enough. All the songs on this album are great.

I can't say enough about this band's music and this album in particular. In 2008 I didn't know that they had existed but today I have 3 of their albums. I had to have it after I saw it listed as rolling stone brazil's number one album of all time,and that it mixed several brazilian styles of music into it...... today it's one of my top ten albums of all time.

I do not particularly like Culture Club. This album is quite fantastic. I purchase hundreds of albums every year. I have been listening and collecting music since 1970 when I was 15. There are some musicians that reach into the heavens and pull out something that is a masterpiece and a classic that resonates in one's soul. This album does that. I listen to it on my way to work every day. I am an art teacher and an artist. I also listen to this on my way home. I hear it in my head and I think "Wow!" There is music that every once in a while touches the heavens and "This Is What I Do" does this. Very soulful and sends chills down my spine. Great music, I hope for lots of people to hear this. I know I will talk about how great this album is.

One of my favorite albums of all time.  I have the vinyl, first cd version, digital remastered version and now this one.  Don't have my 5.1 set up yet but the regular SACD sounds better than ever.
