(sorry for writing such a shitty explanation for this album. i was trying to talk about how it is political but also fundamentally about isolation)

"just like a baby" was the first song on this record i really got, it sounded like the most lonely and tense thing in the world

The little guitar phrase on Thank You For Talkin' To Me Africa, the way it pulls back and then suddenly fly at you face, man.

It is a wonderous mystery to me what the guitars are doing on that track and how they sound like they do

Best album of the Seventies and it’s not close

Where is the love for “Poet”? Always my go-to on this record (even when he’s singing about Shaun Ryder)

Truly a great and cohesive album, I usually listen to in its entirety. It's always made a much bigger impact that way - every track gains something within the complete context.

'Just Like a Baby' was my entry point.

Before my time here, but "Family Affair" easily--one of the most complicated, unsettling songs of the decade.

I agree, Poet & Just Like a Baby are my #1 & 2 on this, one of my favorite albums by anyone ever.
