I used to love this album and artist a whole lot. This, from my memory, was one of the first albums that I ever heard in full. Now, this album seems like it has a handful of fabulous tracks, but the rest is filler. "Where Do the Children Play", "Wild World", and "Father & Son" are ridiculously great. "Father & Son" especially, since it's one of the few tracks that can claim to have brought a tear to my eye. The other tracks are all nice enough, but nothing compared to the aforementioned tracks.

Stevens was one of the better singer-songwriters from the early '70s, IMO. Solid album, though like Goodsir, I'm not in love with it beginning to end.

The Flaming Lips kind of ruined this one for me. Whenever I listen to it, I just hear "Fight Test".

I can't listen to "Fight Test" without hearing "Father & Son".

Loved this album for a while, but now it is absolutely, dreadfully boring to me. Shame, but it got old very fast. "Where Do the Children Play?" was my favourite, not sure if it is quite as boring as the rest, haven't listened to it in a while.

Good album by Στέφανος Γεωργίου (Stepahnos Georgiou) but like most others said gets dull on repeated listenings. Wild World is a great song though. Other stand outs: Where Do The Children Play?, Hard Headed Woman & Father And Son.
