Trouser Press wrote: "The overly polite indie-label debut sidesteps the likely Carole King comparisons, mostly because the delicate melodies aren’t memorable enough and Beth Sorrentino hasn’t got that strong or distinctive a voice. (She is, however, a skillful pianist.)" [1] The Washington Post wrote that the album "does have moments that are hopelessly coy, but such lively tracks as 'Lamp' and 'Ryan' give Sorrentino's dreaming a kick inside." [6] The New York Times opined that the band "echoes the odd-angled melodies and enigmatic lyrics of Throwing Muses, the smoky voice of 10,000 Maniacs' Natalie Merchant, and the rolling arpeggios and choppy chords of Tori Amos; it also has the calm, determined eccentricity of those performers." [7]
Stations of the Crass is the second album by Crass, released in 1979. The record, originally released as a double 12", includes live tracks from a gig recorded at the Pied Bull pub in Islington, London, on 7 August 1979. The first three sides contain the studio tracks and play at 45 rpm, while the final side comprises the live material and plays at 33 rpm. The album's title is not only a pun on the Catholic rite of the Stations of the Cross, but is also a reference to the graffiti campaign that the band had been conducting around London's underground railway system, the cover artwork depicting a wall at Bond Street tube station that had allegedly been 'decorated' by them. Although the album met mixed critical reception at first, it managed to sell at least 20,000 copies within two weeks.
