I think that the Allmusic review of this record is just mean-spirited. To me, this is a fantastic record. The reviewer states that this record is "...Cale's unsuccessful attempts to translate [Dylan] Thomas' imagery through song." I do not agree that the "the words lose their power in the retelling." I could go on, but you can read the review yourself which includes an insult about his hair style. To me, these are great interpretations and I also like the stripped-down versions on Fragments from a Rainy Season.
