For me, the point where it all started to go downhill. With the loss of Maart and arrival of Chris Leslie, there was less rock and more introspective ballads. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, and the musicianship is as great as ever, but it's not really my thing.

The result still hangs together fairly well, but I'd say it's the last Fairport album that does (up to now, anyway!).
