I really enjoyed this album. There are many memorable songs. The first three songs (Memory Lain, Hugh, Headloss and Hoedown) flow well into one another and Pye Hastings vocals on "Memory Lain Hugh" are awesome. The riff for "Memory lain Hugh" was stuck in my head for days its very catchy. I love the fuzzy guitar tone found throughout the album especially on "C'thlu Thlu". That is definitely a standout track. My favorite song on the album by far is "The Dog, the Dog, He's at It Again". I can't really explain why it's my favorite it's just a fun song to listen to and captivating. Side A evokes fun canterbury moments with more standard rock-oriented songs with many delightful progressive moments. While side 2 is definitely more progressive in sound. The album really starts to become spectacular from C'thlu Thlu until the end of the album in my opinion. That stretch of tracks is perfect. Song after song it was magical. Overall, I enjoyed this album very much. It is a great addition to any prog collection and a great Canterbury Scene record by a great Canterbury Band.

I give them album 4/5 stars. It's an excellent addition to any prog rock music collection.
