I don't know...I haven't been able to get into the 2nd one as much as the first. The first, to me, is just absolutely one of my favourite albums ever. Being a concept album, It has such a great flow from start to finish.
It has a few slower songs compared to the 2nd which is why I suspect most people seem to not like it as much but they are not so much ballads as much as they are laid back, 70's style.
