This is the very first Daniel Amos album I ever got. After having listened to it for years and recently getting into some of the older stuff I don't really take this one out as much. One thing I can say is that Daniel Amos never puts out the same album twice. I think I would characterize some of this as bizarre, especially "Banquet at the World's End" and "Traps, Ensnares." There's also some country flavor in "(What's Come) Over Me." "Motorcycle" starts of a seven-song cycle that while not unified lyrically is similar musically. I think I've really got to listen to this one again because, to be honest, it's been a long time. Good thing I can edit these reviews!

Useless Fact: If I recall correctly, Jerry Chamberlain came back into the fold for this one and does some vocals on "Wonderful."
