Buddha and the Chocolate Box is the eighth studio album by Cat Stevens. The title came to Stevens when he was travelling to a gig on a plane with a Buddha in one hand and a box of chocolates in the other. He pondered that if he were to die in the plane these would be the last objects with him, and he would be caught between the spiritual and the material. The album leans towards the spiritual path, and is an indication of the direction his life would follow. All tracks composed by Cat Stevens.

While Foreigner was Cat Stevens' fifth consecutive gold album and his fourth straight Top Ten hit, it actually marked a small drop commercially and encountered critical resistance for the lengthy suite that took up all of side one. Eight months later, Buddha and the Chocolate Box found Stevens back in England and back with producer Paul Samwell-Smith and second guitarist Alun Davies. It also marked a return to the simpler style of earlier albums.

The last really good Cat Stevens song, two albums back, was appropriately titled I Can’t Keep It In. Since then he’s been pouring out separate streams of interesting melody and dubious verbiage, streams that never converge. Maybe it all makes a higher sense if you grasp the relationship between the bald boy, the chocolate deity and the spider with the flute, depicted on the back cover. Mayb. ut only Cat himself, who was in charge of the illustrations, as well as dreaming up the unbearably precious title, can ever know for sure. Though its proselytizing efforts are nearly as noxious as the Foreigner Suite‘s pretensions, this is generally a more lighthearted, less stilted album than its predecessor. All of the album is beautifully performed, but parts of it are overproduced. Cat needs a dozen good songs a lot more than he needs a dozen background singers right now. In This Article: Cat Stevens.
