Still sounds fresh, still has plenty to say as an album. That's more of a comment on the shitty state of the UK, 43 years since the original release. I love the space that the songs have to breathe. Music needn't be complicated.

Great that I got a chance to give this a spin in full. The tunes here are both haunting and uplifting in equal measure. The album really is of its time - that time in the early 80s where music had something to say and said it very loud and eloquently. Food For Thought is a prime example of this. It also feels like it couldn't have come from anywhere else than Thatcher's Britain. They don't make 'em like they used to, etc. A classic, although I deducted one star for the well-meaning but ill-advised Strange Fruit on the expanded version I ended up playing.
