I can definitely understand that. Personally, I find it to be one of the easiest albums to stomach with Sparks even if the Sparks brothers weren't happy with the album. Something to do with how pissed off they got with the manager or whoever was in charge of putting the album together.

Still, it makes a pretty good listen.
