I guess to talk about how weird this LP is would be kinda pretentious. I have heard apocraphyllic stories about how Buckley made this album to alienate his fans on purpose... but as far as I am concerned what you get is a haunting front side full of rhodes piano and really strange dissonant passages that have more in common with what Miles Davis was doing in 1970 than with the rest of folk music at large, and on the second side the reverse is true, however, adding to the mix electric bass and congas. Regardless of any stigma this album may have within music circles (I really dont know if I'm putting up an absolute stinker or what) but I really enjoy it and I think that if you're into avant-garde type music that you should definitely check this out.
from allmusic.com: Buckley stunned and, to a rare degree, alienated fans with the dissonant, at times wearying, avant-garde exercises in vocal gymnastics that took up the entire first side of this LP. Side two was far more accessible, though Buckley's fusion of folk instrumentation with jazzy improvisation on extended compositions continued to take him further away from his folk-rock roots.
