I do believe he wrote every song on this album.

It may be just the fact of the booze kicking in, but this album seems to have improved in the last 5 minutes or so.

Track 10 - Lord Bless All.

The lyrics seem to have something of the "Song from a Teenage Opera" about it.

Suacerful of Meaningless songs in very High Voices.

This Side B stuff is, whilst not exactly gr8, significantly more successful than the gallimaufry and mountebank legerdemain of Side A.

Track 11 - Most of My Life.

The first major pop song to use a drum machine was "Saved by the Bell" by Robin Gibb, which reached #2 in Britain in 1969.

In regards to a listening experience, I think that these last two song titles are probable candidates for the 'songs that review themselves' thread.
