Mona Bone Jakon is by far the best Cat Stevens album, not that it sounds all that different than the others, it just has a greater sophistication and range. The two main reasons that make this record a cut above the rest, are,

Trouble, See the Light and watch out for old hippie ladies, you never know when you'll fall in love with one!
