3.8 - It took several listens but this record finally grew on me. I was definitely unimpressed at the beginning. I don’t love Cale’s voice. And I wasn’t sure about the mix on this record - it’s muted and every song has this dream-like halo reminiscent of Lennon’s “Imagine.” But after a couple more tries, “Hanky Panky Nohow” was the first song to click - a gorgeous little refrain on that. “Paris 1919” soon followed with its literary lyrics and sophisticated orchestral arrangement. My hunch is that with more listens, this record will only get better.
