It is their best, with Whos Next a close second.
Pete’s “Chinese Eyes” is a very special record for me. It doesn’t get a lot of play, but it endures as one of my all-time favorite records.
“Slit Skirts” captures middle age angst better than any song, “The Sea Refuses No River” is one of Pete’s best compositions, IMHO, I believe it was mostly recorded after Pete got clean.
