Yeah, it's probably official that I don't like folk. Are any of you an official that can make something like that official? In the meantime, I unofficially-but-with-great-certainty don't like folk.
Instrumentally, there's a rich, tense melodicism, but I don't really have all that much interest in Stevens's meandering warbling nor his thin shouting. Self-important and salt-of-the-earth as only late-60's-early-70's folk can be, even the tone of the album turns me off. I think schmaltz of Wild World and the association with the similarly over-precious Harold and Maude aren't helping, the whole thing drips with burgeoning 70's grasping that I can't get past 2.5/5
