    A fantastic album. No filler or anything that goes on for 'too long'. Great compositions with nice chord progressions. All of the singing, harmonies and musician contributions are just perfectly executed and within a well mixed and vibrant production. Some really cool grooves and orchestral touches. Top of the game.

      I agree with the other reviews, a great album . The later album “meeting of the minds “has been overlooked though as has some great moments
