I largely agree about Another Bedroom, but 'It Rained' makes it worth it. One of the best songs on it. I also wish they'd kept the whole of the EP on side 4, instead of having the first track of it close out side 3, because it means you have to race to the turntable to stop it at 'Let The Blind Lead..." if you want experience just the album.
As for the album proper, yeah, it seems excellent. I've yet to listen to it enough to judge whether it ranks higher than Cryptograms, but I feel it may well in the end. It just has a really wonderful vibe to it. I've played it through 3 whole times in less than 24 hours, which is a lot when you consider it's competing with the Ayler set (which, incidentally, is, aesthetically at least, possibly the most beautiful musical item I've owned. The music obviously needs no talking up)
