This 'side' is much longer than the otter one.

This is the closest thing to a melody we've heard over the 80 minutes.

It is over.

As it was exactly the same as the first half of the album, the second half of the album had no reason to exist.

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

Well, that last half of the album was pretty terrible. I accepted the first one as something a bit dreadfully quirky that only a student could (feel obliged to) like and would have awarded it 2/5, but most of that today was dreadful, with little worthy of being a thing of legend.

I'll still think of the cover as being legendary, and just try to forget I ever listened to it. But at least I have now.

1.5/5 - the .5 being the hi hat action and the very final couple of minutes of the album.

Reduced to 1/5 for voting.
