Spent a morning with this album. Took a while to open up to it but once you go with what he's trying to do, an impressionistic expression of what it feels like being alive as a bloke drifting into middle age it's very powerful in a strange, poetic way. Also, some nice, droll lines. "You looked like World Armageddon. While you slept" or “The only words I’ve said today are ‘beer’/ And ‘thank you’” A great review of the record here.

Love this album. The dub version that came out recently ("Have Fun With God") is pretty interesting as well.
