I'd always preferred his earlier stuff initially, but as I grew in my tastes, I really got into his post swordfish albums too.

Very interesting. Yes, those later albums do grow on you.

Another artist who successfully changed directions is Peter Gabriel. He left his Genesis music behind and never returned to that style, despite his fans begging him to do so for 45 years!

Yes, he's an excellent example!

I didn't get this record when I first bought it. I definitely got it after a few listens. Great pick.

Thanks. Yes, it takes a few listens to understand and get into some artists.
