Yeah it is a bit off-the-wall... but that's a big part of its charm for me... it's easily my favorite of their early albums. It's a shame it gets ignored when albums like H2O, Big Bam Boom & Private Eyes (great album!) will always be their biggest sellers or get the most attention, and will be identified as the "Hall & Oates sound"... H2O, in particular, actually disappointed me when I finally heard it since I always loved "Maneater", "One on One" & "Family Man" (Mike Oldfield's original version with Maggie Reilly is also equally cool!).
