It's an album that has to take time to grow on you, but I simply adore it. It seems people either love it or hate it. I thought it was very memorable, and that was even before seeing it live.
I do agree that Bruce didn't sound too great on that album, but you should have heard him live. Holy shit, not only did he sound better than he ever did on stage, he sounded as good as he did on the Brave New World album (the title track off that album has my favorite vocal performance from Bruce's entire career)!
