Very Surprised!

DanielEsq

I'm a huge fan of the mega-selling Hall & Oates albums. But this disc stunned me. It's understated, almost introverted, sweet and delicate. And it puts their outstanding vocal harmonies to great use. A real gem.

Excellent album

This was the album that began to set Hall and Oates apart from many other groups of their time. Blue eyed soul crooning came back in style courtesy of Daryl Hall.

The full-length version of "She's Gone"...

...is one of the greatest white-soul singles of the early '70s. Absolutely essential.

This is one of my all time "oh my effing god is this gorgeous" albums. so rich, so beautiful the harmonies the melodies. Didn't download it bc I still have the original vinyl (bought new the year it came out!). I revisited it recently and...oh my effing god is this gorgeous...

Abandoned Luncheonette, Hall & Oates’ second album, was the first indication of the duo’s talent for sleek, soul-inflected pop/rock. It featured the single “She’s Gone,” which would become a big hit in 1975 when it was re-released following the success of “Sara Smile.” – Stephen Thomas Erlewine
