I purchased three years ago "Sometimes a Circle," but paused time and time again before just recently deciding to purchase "Kid Blue/Louise Goffin." I finally took the plunge and realized quickly -- upon first listen -- that this CD should be reserved for big fans only. It is very simple, monochromatic, and immature in both its musical arrangement and well as its lyrical presentation. The production is similarly flat-sounding. To be fair, I gave it at least 10-15 listens in all. In my opinion, "Kid Blue/Louise Goffin" is a far cry from "Sometimes a Circle," which, I believe, is an absolutely superb release.
