Along with "Starsailor," my favorite album by Tim. The dark abysses into which Buckley's increasingly free and daring vocal experiments dive in the title track are simply extraordinary, a stream of consciousness even bolder than that of "Love From Room 109" from two years prior. His Voice in "Anonymous Proposition" literally liquefies a simple, yet beautiful, crooner-like melody. "Driftin" follows the same path but in a less extreme way, with an exceptional melody and a vocal performance that is indescribable in its grandeur and maturity. The remaining two tracks are more linear and classic, balancing the sunlit yet melancholic serenity of "I Had a Talk With My Woman" with the "groovy" moment of "Nobody Walkin," which just throws it away... For me, one of the most beautiful albums of the entire '70s.
