Absolutely true.

Approximately Infinite Universe is incredibly underrated. When I first heard 
it at 15, it completely changed my idea of what you can say in a song. After 
that, I had no patience with cliched rock lyrics anymore. After all these 
years, some people are finally starting to "get" Yoko Ono, but AIU still 
gets overlooked.
