Has an atmosphere that sucks you into its rabbit hole and takes you on a creepy journey. Took mw a while to appreciate, but it succeeded in expanding my musical taste. For that I will forever be thankful.

Incendiary and original. Bought it on its release in 1975 and though its impact has softened, it still stands as a classic.
