An underrated lot IMO. 
These albums have much lower ratings than the previous studio album.
I suspect Caravan will run away with this one.   
New album!

I have all three albums and cannot remember the last time I played any of them.

I'll vote for Cunning Stunts for the cover artwork and bits of the Dabsong Conshirtoe, but it's a long, long way below their earlier offerings. I did see them on tour in 1977 (the line up with Jan Schelhaas and Dek Messecar)and the songs stood up better in a live situation, but they still weren't that great.
A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

Chicago 7 is their last good one... and one of their very best (especially disc1), but Chi8 is like Chi6 : best forgotten.

IMHO, anyways

Stunning c**ts by a mile, though it's really not up to par to the previous albums.

Cunning Stunts

Honestly, it might actually be my favourite Caravan album. Dabsong Conshirtoe is such a hugely underrated epic.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Can't stand the Harry Truman song but every other song is at least good. I actually think VIII is one of their best. It's a shame they lost the jazz from there on, but at least they made up for it with that album. 
New album!

It's probably my second favourite :)

Easily Caravan. 
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

Cunning Stunts
Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.
