I think some other people have told me they don't like it, either. To my ears, the vocal embodies a musical quality from about 1600 to about 1925, to which my ears are attuned. There's a full-bodied quality to Stevie's delivery now that I can't comfortably grasp because it elicits an unpleasant physical sensation in my own upper chest & throat when I hear it.
That's the reason why I like "It's Only Love" the best on that album.
