I've heard this one before, somewhere.

A completely unassuming, gentle coda to the album.

It is over.

It was a pleasant album but it needed more welly, to keep it interesting.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 4 stars.

Really, it's a 3.6 album but we don't have a 3.6 option.

I was wondering that.

Well, I'm very fond of that album.

He recorded it in the middle of a lengthy period of turmoil and punk-esque musical experimentation, so it's laid-back country-rock stylings nonplussed a lot of fans and critics.

It does slip into a slightly lazy reverie at points, but the interplay of Young and Larson's vocals is really special.

I also love the relaxed, clean-sounding production and restrained string arrangements.

As an album it's a very polished and cohesive work - a small miracle; a modest gem.
