(This is me being diplomatic.) I'm listening to CMIARS right now in its entirety, since I just wrote in another thread that I think of it as an "eh" and since it's being discussed here. For me, it's not a masterwork, but I can see how it might be that for someone else. If something personally caused you awe, then for you it's a masterwork. I know of one former JMDLer who rates it as her favorite JM album (that would be Susan LA Chaloner, in case you're curious). Would the rest of the world see CMIARS that as a masterwork? No. However, I almost wrote in the previous thread that DED was a seminal album for me, so there ya go. ;-) I had to rethink that comment, because it was really Hejira that was *the* seminal album for me, although DED fits that description -- (of a work, event, moment, or figure) strongly influencing later developments -- to a certain extent.
