4.0 out of 5 stars As dramatic as it sounds - this changed my life, May 24, 2001

By	Happy Mama "ethel_merman" (United States) - See all my reviews

Granted, I was 12 at the time. However, after seeing Adam on MTV, I decided that we should marry and have little ants. While that never came to fruition, I do have to say that in the following two decades, I came to be a semi-expert on his Antness and rate this particular work as one of the better ones. If you're looking for melody and fun (rather than insightful lyrics and innovative guitar play), this album will do you nicely. The opening track, "Scorpions" always seemed better live to me, but it kicks off the album with a bang. Favorites on the album include the title track, Picasso et al, and of course "Stand and Deliver" - that song alone I believe makes the cd worth owning. If you're looking for 80's indulgence, I think you'll like it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun, June 25, 2001

By	Carl Mack (Palm Springs, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Wow, I can remember how this got trashed when it came out. O.k. granted it is not fine art but I give Adam credit where credit is due. He could have played it safe and put out a carbon copy of "Kings Of The Wild Frontier" with the tribal drumbeats and all but he didn't. Rather he expanded his musical horizons and was all over the map with this effort. The thing is it was and still is great fun to listen to it. Look at the vast variety in styles on each cut. Hey Adam pulled it off and made it through the critical slings and arrows to move forward with his breakthrough solo effort. Give him credit.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Adam and the Ants album, August 30, 1998

By	William Meisel (Jacksonville, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The lyrics "Ridicule is nothing to be scared of" said a lot to me when I heard them first in 1982. But the album has not lost its attraction for me over the years. A WEST SIDE STORY song ( Scorpios), a "spanish" song (picasso), a "western" song (five guns west), a bossa nova (voodoo), an "indian' song (mohawk) and even a Hawaiin number. What more could you ask for?
