One of my favourite records

I first stumbled across this record in a thrift shop and bought it on spec for a dollar. It is one of the luckiest finds ever, and has gone on to become a favourite. It is so lovely, and so charming... a great voice singing clever, well-written songs from a bygone era. It's become my go-to gift for all the the people I love.

this is one of the best records I have ever heard . the album bills itself as a audiophile vinyl pressing , and guess what , it really is . First the record is 180 grams . but it feels twice as heavy because the record is ultra stiff . if you hold the edges of the record and try to warp it back and forth , it will stay absolutely flat , there is no bending what so ever. next in-between the songs is the quietist  I have ever heard a vinyl recording . there is not one crack or pop on the whole double album . amazing . next the quality of the recording is flawless  , and the extra dimension's of the songs are such that I have not heard before . plus there is so much extra in the music that simply is not present on the CD's . the bottom line is , if you want a great SADE recording that will be a total joy to listen to , and show off your stereo in ways you have never imagined  , this is the vinyl for you . it is a must buy . this goes double if you are in the stereo business and need music to show off your product during a stereo show . it seems as though every room has the same music . this is a must play in that situation .

I love this record. For me it's thier strongest records since the departure of Ronald Jones in the 90's. A minimal, spooky record with a science fiction edge. Very enjoyable change of pace for the band. I highly recommend it.

No long-winded review here. This record moves me as few records do. I never want it to end.

I listened to this record a lot when it first came out and then I lost track of it for many many years.  Now when I play it again it appears very fresh and still in tune with our times.

I love this album. The sound quality is amazing, and the overall packaging is superb. It has songs on it that I haven't heard before, which was a nice bonus. In my growing collection of vinyls, this is definitely my favorite.

I've followed these guys for some time now and this recording is one of their finest! I suggest that when you can get the album, you will find it to be one of the go to records in your collection.

One of my favorite records by Dottie Rambo.  I bought two of these so I could give one to my mother.  Thanks!

Avalon is, quite simply, one of the most lovely records ever made.  It has a sumptuous sound, it's power is in it's simplicity, and a great ensemble effort.  The band works as a cohesive unit, none upstaging the other or interrupting the mood with a particularly wicked solo. Bryan Ferry's amazingly lush vocals carry the mood completely from emotion to emotion, and the melodies linger for a lifetime.

I go back and forth between this record as my all-time favorite, and HATS by The Blue Nile, which is breathtaking in a very similar way. Yet I never seem to be able to let go of Avalon, and my guess is once you hear it, you won't be able to let it go either.

Sticky Fingers is one of my favorite classic rock records next to Exile on Mainstreet, Abbey Road, and the White Albam.  I think this record front to back is strong with great guitar sounds and vocals.  I swear one of the  songs on here sounds like a Black Crows song.  I really enjoy listening to  this record and with classic like "Brown Suger", "Wild  Horses", and "Can You Here Me Knocking" is proof enough to  get this record.  Get it because it's awesome.

I remember the first time I heard "Cold sweat" on alternative radio after this album just released.  Once I found the cassette I was happy to learn that the rest of the album was at least as good.  This record started a life-long crush on Bjork that started when I was 15.  This is such an incredible album that I have owned it in three medial formats.  I really love the original release and clear sound on vinyl, and I'm a sucker for colored vinyl (this is really cool opaque lime green).  I'm hoping other records are released in collectors format.  Think I'll shop and see, right now

I love the Steel Wheels and this record is one of their best.  I listen to it over and over and the tunes stick in my mind for days!

About 8 months ago by pure chance, I came across one of the greatest records I have ever had the privilege of hearing called "Violet" by The Birthday Massacre. It was probably the boldest most well written piece of musical art that I would shamelessly blast out of my car and work without hesitation. I was an instant fan and was even more overjoyed to learn that the band was to release their second album soon this year. Well, the second record finds the band solidifying their sound within the boundaries of an unexplored genre they practically invented.

Although the band seems to have progressed lyrically, musically Walking With Strangers seems at the same level (if not weaker than) Violet. And unlike Violet there were a few songs I found myself skipping over.. There are plenty of good things to say about this record though, don't get me wrong. The first single "Red Star" is fantastic and probably the bands heaviest song just behind "Broken"; "Looking Glass", "Kill The Lights", "Weekend" and "Unfamiliar" are all excellent; "To Die For" is my favorite song on the record and a fantastic, and in my opinion, superior remake of the original. In conclusion, I would like to hear the band experimenting a bit more and push the boundaries even further, but what we have here is a solid record that overall strengthens the bands catalog and makes me anxious for the next one. Pick this one up if you already have Violet and go see the band live!

This is a really good record.  One of the best bands from the early-mid 2000s Birmingham metalcore scene.

This is a great record- the art is bright and it sounds awesome.

Three years later and I still can't stop listening to this record.  It ranks up there on my all time greatest records list.  It's catchy, 80's-influenced, electronic, indie-rock with a new vibe to it.  "Such Great Heights" makes a great ring tone.  And is it just me or does "Nothing Better" remind you of Human League's "Don't You Want Me"?

I had heard the song "Jesus Came To My Birthday Party" on an Uncut sampler so sought out the album. I am obsessed with it - great songs, very arty, mysterious and eclectic. It is definitely one of the best records I've heard in 2011.
