I remember when "Touch" [[the LP, as the single was never released here) was released, I just had to buy it, and I rushed from school to see if it had arrived in Boots [[which is where most of my records were bought). All three LP I thought were outstandingly good, and the majority of the tracks I thought were perfect. I can't recall if "Floy Joy" or "Jimmy Webb" came next, but both these were, for me, absolutely a non-starter. Yes, I did love "Automatically sunshine" and "Your wonderful sweet sweet love" and even "Floy Joy", but nothing else, and the Jimmy Webb had "I guess I'll miss the man", which was the only track I could listen to.
Fortunately, we all like / enjoy, and rate, tracks and LP differently which is so vital - otherwise it would be an extraordinarily dull life if we only liked to listen to the same material.
