I have seen that some of the reviewers of this, the Third release by Big Star, claim it to be a classic. A dark testimony of a troubled artist flipping the bird to his management and the record industry. I just don't get it. A fan of the first two Big Star releases and no stranger to dark and daunting works by other artists, all I get from this is a feeling that Alex Chilton laughs his heinie off everytime he cashes a royalty check from sales of this album. A collection of unfinished pieces, dirges, fair, but unspectacular covers and unfocused songs, I have tried numerous times to try to get into it's murk without success. It probably does an excellent job of showing the state of the artist at the time, but honestly, how many times do you go back and listen to this if you own it? If you come to this expecting a legendary work, take the time to preview this before parting with your hard earned money. Buyer beware!!
