Disapointed? That's a shame. I found myself being a little disappointed when I first heard that album (by comparison with the huge impact they have live), but listen to a few more times, before make a firm judgement.

My first impression of "Banks of Sweeet Primroses" was that it was okay, but nothing absolutely stunning. Then I listening carefully to the way the harmocin texture changes very subtly and slowly. Moving from just a few harmony lines at the beginning to seven different lines at the end! The "Goodnight Song" has a lovely tune, and it's nice to hear "Mole in a Hole" again, and with gusto!
