Obviously I was familiar with the title track, but I couldn't say I loved it. Overplaying had deadened it for me. Now, maybe I haven't listed to it in a while, or perhaps it was hearing it in the context of the album, instead of by itself, but whatever the case the song suddenly felt relatively fresh and listenable. The rest of the album was totally not what I was expecting (though once I heard "Vincent" I realised I knew it but hadn't previously placed it as a McLean song), it has a much more delicate folky touch rather than the rocking, slightly cheesy balladeer I maybe expected. There is a nice bit of variety as well with some more rocky, upbeat tracks.
