Innovative, delightful, eclectic, and marvellous.
Listening to this album is like have musical honey dripped into your ears by a mischievous forest nymph.
How I've not heard this before is criminal, but now that I have, it won't be the last time, that's for sure.
You can clearly hear where many artists over the years have been influenced by this legend of a geezer. And rightly so.

I like it
It's not like songs
It's very "look at us doing weird shit with instruments".
But they're having fun. You can feel it.
I disagree with the notion of it being pretentious. I don't think they're showing off for showing offs sake.
It was the early 70s. There was a lot of drugs around man.
Several tracks on this I could listen to over and over.
It brings me joy in dark places.
I'm glad I found this.

Still good after all this time though a couple of the tracks don't hit as well as they used to.
I'm giving it a 4 just cos of those songs and also because I have always found Feargal's voice to be a bit too shrill at times though he does have a good heart (and these days, that's hard to find).

Although I do prefer the live version of Child in Time from the Made in Japan album where RB and JL trade guitar and Hammond licks.
And it lasts for the full side of an LP. Seriously, check out Made in Japan if you like this.

If I could give an album 6 out of 5 I would.

This one threw me and challenged me a bit.
At first I thought it was just pretentious art wank but then, about half way through, I started to appreciate the skill these cats have.
I'm giving a 3 but only cos I feel it might not be their best work.
Imma habe to listen to this more, and their other stuff.
It's growing on me.
This album, and presumably,their others, is not an album to stick on when you're doing the dishes or painting the kitchen.
This demands your undivided attention.
Headphones on, no distractions and just, listen.
I'll be doing that properly with this soon.

As debut albums go, there can't be many this accomplished.
Really ahead of it's time, being a precursor to the glam/hair metal of the 80s yet still sounding fresh and fun.
