This is an unbelievable body of work and easily on par with any of Van's classics. There are some forays into gospel and celtic that may not please everyone, but they provide colour up against the nearly unbearable beauty of compositions like "Professional Jealousy", "Green Mansions", "Village Idiot", and "Why Must I Always Explain" not to mention the title track. A serious must for fans, or anyone into chill heart-felt music and tasteful instrumentation and arrangements.
