    In its original, and here remastered, 10 track format (a somewhat superfluous if clean 5.1 remix, audio only DVD is also included), it’s every bit as memorable, timeless and nearly as entertaining if not quite as challenging as Astral Weeks.... But hearing so many working versions of these songs can be a trying, time consuming yet occasionally enjoyable experience.

The influence of this album is simply phenomenal and it really come through when you count the amount of songs that have basically ripped off tracks from this record. The songwriting is exquisite and I'll say it again, there are hooks here that have made into every pop songwriters manual since. The first half is sensational but to be honest side 2 is pretty amazing as well. 40 minutes, 10 tracks, not a hint of indulgence just pure and concentrated genius. Full Review »
