Poetry that's about drugs and promiscious sex.

Fantastic stuff. My second favorite S&G album behind Bridge Over Troubled Water. I have this on vinyl and spin it a lot. Honestly all of their albums outside of maybe their debut (which isn't even a bad album) are fantastic.

Definitely my favourite album of theirs. The first side is a concept about ageing, interspersed with interludes such as voices of old people. The album definitely flows much better on the original vinyl where the two sides could be listened in isolation & were two different experiences. An album that never tires on repeated listens.
