The Cyn rap made this genuinely intolerable.

"I don't mind worry following me like a dinosaur."

I struggle to call any one song phenomenally written, but they each have little gem nuggets of lines like these. It's a good album.

Cute.

Unfortunately, in the modern day, there is very little reason to listen to this album. The smile songs are all either missing key components or sound like shells of what they will eventually come to be. The smiley smile originals are hardly worth one's time, with the notable exception of Little Pad. Little Pad is beautiful.

His voice had lost a lot of its luster by then. But, wow. I'm still blown away.

Edit: As I kept listening to this, I quickly realized that I was witnessing more than music. I was witnessing a dream brought from death. There is such unmistakable, endemic passion with every pluck of a string, every draw of a voice. The magic of this album is within what it is and what it never was. Have yourself a childlike bash yet again. I could feel balloons inflating in my very liver.

This has some promising stuff, just needs a bit more complex compositions.

Shockingly unimpressive. A middling attempt at tackling the They Might Be Giants style.

Dunn the Worm is, however, a masterpiece.

Bad sign that I like this thing... great song tho...

Only a few stinkers, overall rock solid. Sam > stars, btw.

Funny papers is heads and shoulders above the rest.

Surprisingly catchy, though odd fusion of prog and new wave. I'm a big fan of Malaguena Salerosa and What Do You Want From Life, and though I certainly didn't dislike the rest (Boy Crazy has a nice verse and a great exiting solo, for example, but the chorus just made me roll my eyes), I didn't find much of it stellar. Worth your time if nothing else.

The delivery of "What's it do, do to a young soul?" Is enough to mark this album as stellar.

Sweet as hell that this was finally found. The other 2 tracks are good too!

i like this about as much as Igor, but the best songs here are better than on that album.

The biggest complaint one can have with this album is that it lacks a lot of the sonic bite Justice's most renowned work has. And though that is the case, the synths fashion a soundscape that stands on its own merits.

I was into it at first, but the songs eventually blurred together.

This is really up there. These outtakes are phenomenal.

This might be one of the most overlooked releases of the early 70s.
