Endless Wire held in same esteem as Old Dan's Records? Endless Wire preferred to Cold on the Shoulder and Don Quixote? I certainly don't share those opinions mentioned in this thread, although I do like the album more and more with each listen. I don't think I'll ever put Endless Wire on a par with the other albums released between '66 and '83 (I'm not familiar with the newer ones).
I don't really analyze it in terms of what GL was going through at the time, or how the songs reflect certain events in his life--I just know that there's no other GL album that makes me push the "skip" button so much on my CD player when I'm listening to it. It's just not one of his better collections of songs, musically speaking. Yet not a BAD album by any means.
...
(By the way, I only hit "skip" once or maybe twice, if that. Unfortunately, this post makes it sound like I skip about half of this album. I don't. Rather than erase what I wrote and confuse everone, I thought I'd add this little clarification.)
