Same. There's just so much in that album!
My favourite is "Dead Flowers", because the satire is just so exquisite, the wryness of the line "send me dead flowers to my wedding/and I won't forget to put roses on your grave" is incredible.
I think it's their best attempts to try folk rock in their entire career.
Rolling Stone magazine got it wrong as usual and said it just "didn't work".
Also very good is "Sister Morphine", which captures the confusion so clearly, and the guitar and piano distortions are fantastic.
Probably my favourite album they've done.
