5.0 out of 5 stars Music...thy initials are MT, December 31, 2003
What a CD! THis is just bubbling over with rhythm, beat, originality, excitement and, above all, an incredible musicality that never wavers. Whoever selects the music for this group deserves a medal. Whoever does the transcribing and arranging deserves a knighthood.

The individual members of the group sound like a single unit, as if they could read each other's mind. The sound is nearly perfect. Once again, I find it difficult to select any one piece as outstanding so I'll just say, if you know anything about the MT, this is the album for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Transfer's finest, February 25, 2004
By Nick Butler (Newburgh, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This happens to be, in my opinion the greatest CD put out by the Manhattan Transfer.
The Music in the title song has a driving beat that is infectous. I have been looking for a replacement copy of this CD since mine was stolen from my car. If you own this one hold on to it and if you don't own it get yourself a copy any way you can (the person who took my copy did).

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD is DA BOMB!!!!, June 24, 1999
By A Customer
I was 15 when I heard the first track on VH1. Only it was just the end and I had no idea who the artists were. I spent a year humming the chorus to bewildered salespeople. When I finally found it and listened to the whole thing, I was totally blown away by how cool it was. I love "Offbeat..." and "Confide In Me" , and Blues for Pablo the Best. Recommended for driving and singing like a maniac in your car.
