It's actually way better and more interesting than most of his 80s stuff that came after it.

It's certainly better than garbage like Old Ways and Landing on Water. That stuff is just unlistenable dreck at this point. At least Trans has some life to it.

And besides, any album with 'Like an Inca' (arguably his last truly great song for many, many years) is at least at footnote status.
