Reviews: There are a couple of pop clunkers on here, but most of the Gurus' songs are fairly powerful in a style combining T. Rex and Saints influences. Like many Oz bands, they've adopted that earlier '70s punkoid guitar sound, but lay it over somewhat poppier song structures. At least one person we know thinks that the Gurus are God! -Jeff Bale & Tim Yohannan (from Maximum Rocknroll #15, July 1984)
