"Sea Song" and "Alifib". What else do you want? Even if the rest were shitty, you'd have a 90/100 LP right here. But the rest is awesome. One of the greatest achievement in the history pop music; alongside Pet Sounds for instance. The only thing I regret about this record is that overshadows the remaining of Wyatt's career (to think I'm still the only one to have charted Dondestan! Shame, people), whereas it's wonderful.

Such a chilling album. There's so much fragility and feeling in Wyatt's vocals.
