For what it's worth, I don't like Clouds that much, either! Hejira is in a totally different category - it's the words that make it a masterpiece, not the music (IMO).
I guess it's the sound of the VG-8 that I don't like, rather than the fact that all the songs sound the same. It just seems to overpower the song in some way - I can't explain it too well, I just know that if I heard these songs played on a regular acoustic guitar (the slower songs, I mean) I'd probably like them a whole lot more. And for the record, I definitely don't dislike TTT, and do I listen to it quite often. I just like it less than some others. To paraphrase George Orwell, all Joni's albums are equal, but some are more equal than others! Hell
