An improvement over the debut due to losing the annoying eastern stuff aka We Did It Again. I think this change is due to the loss of Kevin Ayers, so no more hope for happiness tunes. Just Wyatt vocal songs.

I'd just like to say this album is not a bunch of short songs, rather one sidelong suite on the first side which tied together by the two interludes that are repeated twice. Additionally, the second side contains two short songs (as long as he? and dedicated to you but? ) then you get another suite. Other then that people have pretty much covered my opinion on this album.

Overall this is a great album, I think there's just a bit to much singing/avant- noises and not enough organ playing to warrant a higher review. Canterbury Sound Score 5/5
