It was the very first SNY album I bought, at a used CD shop. I loved it then and I love it now. It was a bit of a left turn for them at the time, and I think "expectations" were so different, so I think it got slightly trashed because of that. But I had no reference point....it's a smart, eclectic and exciting album. I hasn't aged a bit.
