This record has for me always been a collection of great songs, not a
great record. It doesn't feel like such a cohesive and glued-together
album as Really or some others do. Gladly I can say that there still
are no bad songs on it (the first bad songs came with #8...), though "I
got the same old blues is the only Cale song I've heard done better by
another artist, namely Lynyrd Skynyrd on their Gimme Back My Bullets
-album (If you know other good cover versions email to me!).
Here you start to here that a better racording equipment has been used
than for the first 2 J.J. albums. The drums sound crisper and over all
feeling is clearer sound-wise. It does lose some of the intimacy of the
2nd album, I think, but gets a head on it's own account.
