HMV Review

Throwing Copper made the members of Live into stars, but it didn't necessarily earn them respect. Evidently, the bandmembers thought that the problem lay with Jerry Harrison's crisp, commercial production, so they hired Jay Healey as a co-producer and set out to make a messy, hard-edged visionary statement. Borrowing heavily from Jimmy Page's bag of tricks, Live spikes Secret Samadhi with Eastern-tinged strings, sitars, and powerful overdubbed guitars (Lakini's Juice is propelled by a slide guitar riff out of Physical Graffiti). Meanwhile, Ed Kowalczyk's lyrics and singing remain indebted to early U2 -- he wants to say something big in a big way. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

バンドとして妙にこじんまりとまとまってしまった感があり、前作のようなギラギラとしたエッヂは影を潜めたが、より深く重く深化した一枚。その一方で、温かみをも感じさせるバラード⑧や、開放的な雰囲気の⑪などのナンバーも光る。
