So is a little more well-rounded and complete than Us, but still has a couple draggy spots ('Don't Give Up' comes to mind)

I totally agree, Dave. (surprise, surprise) Three of my favorite songs, but they don't add up to superb continuity.
And don't even bring up 'The Yes Album' - tons of great songs, but it's just *all over* the fucking place.

The first album side is probably the greatest collection of disturbingly dark and sexy music ever recorded.

Nah, Dave. It just HAS to start out that slow. The album wouldn't flow otherwise. I love the slow start, and the buildup and letdown at the end are just Perfect, so to speak.
