[NateRuvin]

1 All This Is That--- A true BBs classic. Very psychedelic, and one of Carl's best vocals.
2 Here She Comes--- A cool rock song, with a great bassline!
3 Marcella--- One of the BBs best 70's songs, very Stones-esque.
4 Cuddle Up--- Very meaningful ballad by Denny.
5 You Need A Mess Of Help--- Another good rock song, with an interesting vocal by Blondie and Carl.
6 Hold On Dear Brother--- Very interesting, country infused song.
7 He Come Down--- Okay, this is pretty bad.
8 Make It Good--- What the hell is this? It's very emotional, and intense, beautiful even, it just doesn't fit with the rest of the music on the album.

[You Kane, You Commanded, You Conquered]

Probably their most under appreciated record, even if it is heavily flawed.

Hold On Dear Brother - Very underrated
Here She Comes - Also underrated
You Need A Mess Of Help To Stand Alone - Nice Title
Marcella
Cuddle Up
All This Is That
He Come Down - It's grown on me






















































Make It Good - This song can go f*ck off

[jiggy22]

8. Make it Good (I think it's a fine song, but it just kinda, ends so abruptly, if that makes sense. It really sounds more like an unfinished demo than an actual fully-fleshed out song)
7. Here She Comes
6. Hold On, Dear Brother
5. Cuddle Up
4. Marcella
3. He Come Down (Such a fun song!)
2. All This is That
1. You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

1. All this is that
2. Marcella
3. Cuddle Up
4. Mess of Help
5. Hold On Dear Brother
6.  Here She Comes
7. He Come Down

Large Gap
8. Make it Good


Amazingly, I realized that I really dig the hell out of this album when looking at individual tracks. Even  Make it Good is alright to me, although not at the level of the other tracks.

[Scaroline No]

1. All This Is That
2. Marcella
3. Make It Good - This sounds like a Paul McCartney song. Every time I hear it.
4. You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone
5. Hold On Dear Brother
6. Here She Comes
7. Cuddle Up
8. He Come Down -Yeah, you know what? Just, no.

[Mr Fulton]

1.You Need A Mess Of Help To Stand Alone - What a great opener, really kicks ass and I love Carl's vocals
2. Make It Good - Beautiful from Dennis I love the orchestration
3. All This Is That - Great song and beautiful harmonies
4. Marcella - Another kick ass track
5. Here She Comes - What a cool tune
6. Cuddle Up - Absolutely beautiful tune from Dennis. Maybe slightly over the top
7. He Come Down - Cool tune, Mikes lyrics don't do it for me through, harmonies are great though
8. Hold On Dear Brother - Not a bad song at all but a little boring

[Wata]

Very good, underrated album.

1. Cuddle Up - heartwarmingly great
2. All This Is That
3. Marcella

4. Here She Comes -I think it's very cool
5. He Come Down
6. Hold On, Dear Brother
7. You Need A Mess of Help To Stand Alone

8. Make It Good -doesn't go anywhere
