Honestly, when I looked at the cover, I thought that this would either be about some stuck-up dick, or a yodeler.

It was just really boring.

The album started off promising. "I'm Easy" was actually pretty upbeat. Sadly, as the Album went on, it got seemingly worse and worse. It got to a point where I was forcing myself to pay attention. Luckily, I got to a gem in the pile: "Loan me a Dime". It's way too long, but its worth about half of it. Also, the slide guitar was pretty cool. I wonder who did that?
