It's a well-produced album and the instrumentals are great... Unfortunately, it didn't really surprise me much. I'm sure it'll grow on me over time, but for now... I find it a bit dull. (The Irish-centered folk thing got a bit exhausting after a few listens... sorry).
I do have a lot of respect for Morrison, though. The fact that he branched out a bit and was still making decent albums in the 80s shows he's a skilled musician...
