I love this album. This is my definition of an album where the whole is better than each individual song.

The first listen, I absolutely hated it. Back then, it could've been a contender for the worst album I've ever heard, but then it grew on me and I fucking love it now. Amazing how people's tastes in music evolve.

The first time I heard it, Van Morrison's voice drove me nuts. But after a couple replays, I clicked with the raw emotion in his voice, and I get why this is such a hauntingly beautiful album. Madame George in particular is my pick.

Strong album but sorry, no comparison to Moondance.

Love this one, poetry. Raw emotion that is how I would put it.
