More lyrics about having one's balls licked than any other album (so far).
I love the spooky medieval stuff. Also gateway drug to Roy Harper if one is so inclined.
I can't listen to Sam Cooke without thinking of my mom. She would quote lines from his songs as she went about her business. "Cokes are in the icebox" comes to mind - Sam and my mom were the only people I knew who called the fridge an icebox. Those memories alone would lead me to give the record 5 stars but man what a voice he had.
some killer, some filler
Songs are mediocre as is the playing. The Cure cover only reinforces the weakness of the band's original material.
