This album not only changed the way I appreciated popular music, typified until then by my allegiance to straightforward arena rock, it changed the way I listened to all music. Besides being attracted to melodies, I now heard arrangements, instrumentation, musical styles and lyrics. I homed in on the craft of songwriting. I discovered the fine line between genres that early-80s musicians such as Joe, Sting and Paul Simon were eager to cross. Most importantly, I paid close attention to how the music made me feel. To this day, with every listen I gather new things from the songs.
