I find this album painful. The lyrics are shallow and lack the clarity and coherency nessassary to lend respect to the subjects he write about. Hence the constant debates on meaning of his songs. Jeffs vocal are always off key and the music is loose and droning. The majority of people love this, and all respect to those who do, but I've tried for years to hear something enjoyable here. To me this sounds like cold soup spilling on the floor while someone weeps over it.
