That allmusic review is so funny. This album kicks ass. I think Chilton liked to do whatever the hell he wanted to do...and why not? I am one happy listener :)

Sorry for the mess I made. Like Flies is my favorite pop record and I love this allmusic review:

Sadly, this release is a dreadful disappointment. Production values are among the worst this reviewer has ever heard: sound quality is terrible, instrumental balances are careless and haphazard, and some selections even begin with recording start-up sound.

I love this Album, hard to post this review though:

hilton's false-start vocal on "Boogie Shoes" is simply left in without correction. Many of the songs here stop dead or fall apart rather than ending properly. Instrumental playing is universally slipshod and boorish, and vocals are sloppy and lackluster. A cover of the Lonnie Mack hit "I've Had It" contains vocals that, without exaggeration, sound like a group of tavern inebriates trying to sing.
