One major flaw and one major positive on this album averages it out to 3/5

The flaw is the at every songs instrumentation is the same. Organ drone + hi hats. This makes the songs sound the same and the album quite dull. Additionally, the songs do not contain instrumental sections, averaging out to around 4~ minutes of singing.

The positive is that Wyatts vocals are great. He sounds inoffensive, clear and the melodies never head towards awful.

Overall the album is pretty average in Roberts discography and marks a change towards more vocal based songs that would dominate the mans careers later years. If you like Robert Wyatt/The Canterbury Scene then definitely check this album out, after others first though.
