content: A terrific record - almost as good as "Sentimental Hygiene". On some tracks, Zevon's intelligence and vocabulary sound incongruous in the straight rock setting but, in the end, it all adds up to a complete package - insightful and incisive lyrics backed by excellent rock music.Fans of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" please take note that this disc is worth buying just for the mighty "Run Straight Down". Not only is it similar in structure, tempo and even subject matter, but David Gilmour guests and provides another blistering performance. Plug in that air guitar and crank it up!I have the vinyl so can't comment on the quality of the CD. If you're keen enough, the double retrospective "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" would be an even better buy for newcomers.
