I wasn't really feeling this one. I like the scope, which gives it kind of a self-containedness, but throughout a lot of it the idea seems better than the execution. I can't believe they thought The Fool was a good enough instrumental to devote a track to. The lyrics are sometimes brilliant and sometimes reminiscent of Hallmark cards. I definitely had a sense of a journey's culmination as it wrapped up but I get why Robert Christgau called it "a funereal jape that gets my goat."
