The Test of Time

Review Score: (10/10)
I have owned this album (first on cassette, then CD) since 1988. I was recently asked to choose my top 5 can't-live-without recordings and this one was a no-brainer. I've played this album thousands of times and have never tired of it. In addition, I have given this CD as a gift to at least a half-dozen friends and family members that got "hooked" on it when riding in my car. The Church are consumate musicians and Starfish is brilliant, far deeper than the two songs (Under the Milky Way and Reptile) that received radio play in the 80's. You will never regret purchasing this album, but will probably someday regret it if you don't.
