    I am a massive Charlies fan. I have every LP and single since year dot. Simpatico is watery pablum. Must try harder boys.

    There's plenty here for old and even new fans to enjoy.

    Talk of Simpatico as the band's Sandinista! is, in truth, wide of the mark. It's better seen as a footpath linking the claustrophobia of their early work with the Black Country funk of Wonderland, while hinting at a way forward. [May 2006, p.124]

    While going reggae was always going to be risky, it's the severe lack of conviction - whether in Burgess's mumblings or songs general vagueness - that's the biggest problem.
