Jättekonstig men gick ändå att lyssna på. 2/5
Was pretty meh to me, though I liked King's Lead Hat
not sure about this one not my cup of tea but nothing glaringly bad about it either
Not for me really.
So ducking tired of these synthpop albums… they all sound the same.
Just too much.
Was expecting nice background ambience, wasn't that at all. Not really my thing.
meh
Meh

Zzzzzzzzzz....
it’s... different. i like it. i don’t love it though.
I did like the first track for some reason, but not much use for the rest of it. I played it twice while working and it was not distinctive enough to keep my attention.
Intéressant
Here he comes - otherwise not the best
No comments at all. Just plain old dumb.

NO! NO MORE BRIAN ENO! SHIT!
Boo!!!
I just don’t like Brian Eno.
mh nah not my thing
Bad Brit pop and electronica? I'm shocked! On this list? Why that's only the 100th or so album of this garbage out of 480+. Eye roll. 1.0
Nah
I've never really listened to Brian Eno before. Now I have I don't think I'm likely to again. Quite diverse, and not particularly memorable.
Jesus. Just when this list has been on a role for a while, they throw me the 183th Brian Eno album. Had to save this one for a few days as I wasn't in a tolerant mood. Anyway, now I'm in the thick of it. This goofiness really makes me think it wasn't a bad think this guy just started making ambient elevator music afterwards. At least you can tune that out. The first song isn't bad. The rest is mostly either cheesy, goofy or ambiance type elevator tracks. 1/5
Pish!!! Who sits and listens to this and thinks “yes, what an album”? In the bin
Yet another album that is absolutely awful. And another album I’m wondering WHY is this in this list? Why must I listen to this before I die 💀☠️
Just because something is avant garde doesn’t make it interesting. You can accept going into it that it’s not going to be easy or enjoyable, but it doesn’t resonate either.
Horrible
I don't normally skip my way through albums, but I had to on this one.
To know that Eno was making Ambient Music for Airports, and his Berlin records for Bowie at the same time as this album, this feels a bit disappointing. The more structured pop songs on the first half are a bit boring and Enos voice is uninteresting. The more ambient leaning stuff in the second half is a bit more interesting but it's just gentle and sappy rather than the immersive ambient bliss of the albums to come after this. Not my bag today.
Before and After Science by Brian Eno is a bit of an odd one. It’s the kind of album that’s very easy to have on in the background, and while it’s undeniably well put together, I came away feeling like there’s nothing particularly wrong with it… but also not much that really stands out or pulls you back in for another listen. It has that typical Eno feel, drifting between art rock and more ambient, atmospheric moments. You can appreciate the textures and the production, and there’s clearly a lot of thought behind it, but it never quite clicks into something memorable. It feels more like a mood piece than an album full of songs you’d actively go back to. Given how many Brian Eno records appear on this list, I’m not convinced this one was essential. It’s fine for what it is, but it doesn’t leave much of a lasting impression compared to some of his other work. Favourite tracks: “Spider and I” is a decent closer and probably the one that stood out the most Least favourite tracks: There are quite a few long, slow instrumentals that drift by without really going anywhere and make parts of the album feel a bit dull Album artwork: Fairly standard cover, nothing particularly striking
Sounds heavily influenced by the Talking Heads. I don't much like Talking Heads. A bit of a chore to get through. So very boring.
The hell?
Crap
I absolutely hate this, I think it's complete shit. Sounds like novelty music. Would be funny if it wasn't so annoying.
Honestly pretty weird and annoying. Not for me.
This guy needs to stick to making ambient music
Was ist dend sas? PSychodälischer song, schon der titel track war nicht mein ding, als ob eine Katze auf den Sch2wanz getreten worden ist
buns
talking heads without any fun
so whats the reason its on this list
Odd tingling
Brian, eh, no. To be fair, there are some extremely clever lyrics here. Clearly a bright guy. Also to be fair, and this is basically always true, I only made it through a handful of tracks.
This is super terrible
Pretty awful
An album that sounds like all the worst parts of a pink Floyd song. Experimental songs that I didn't vibe w
Idk why but i can’t get into any of the brian eno you’ve suggested
I am not an Enophile
Half way thru didnt like
Gruwelijk kut, 1
Music to sleep to
Auch dieses Album ist nicht spannend.
Bin ich nicht reingekommen. Vielleicht ist das Handy nicht der beste Lautsprecher… War aber irgendwie nix. Gefühlt viel zu monoton.
Not interested, didn't make it past the 2nd track
I didn't get very far into this one before I had a visceral impulse to bail. Consider this a shot from the hip
fuleiro
Nope
Dirge
I've never understood the appeal of Brian Eno
1 stern
So so boring. 1 or 2 of the tracks are listenable.
Fuck rating albums. Just let me listen.
The singers voice doesn't work for me at all. The music behind is was good but I just couldn't get in to a single song.
soooo boring 2/10
"Energy fools the magician" is cool. The rest no me gusta mucho
unlistenable
Será importante (que yo nunca había escuchado hablar de él), pero menuda kk.
Not great
Not my thing
Song: Kings lead hat this song is good I've never heard of it though but i guess it is good a lot of lyrics though Song: By this river this song is sad i do not really like it but i guess it is good it makes me sad though not a lot of lyrics because it is going slow but i guess it is fine :) Song: Spider and i there are not even a lot of lyrics and this one is sad I also do not really like these songs
I do not like this album because it is boring. It is nothing special I feel like there are many other albums that sound like this one.
I don't like this song because the beat is not good. I would not recommend this song I don't like this song because it is too sad. I would not recommend this song. I don't like this song because the beat is not good. I would not recommend this song
Brian Eno can fuck off
Hat mich nicht abgeholt
Not quite.
Bollix
I hear this record comes with a suicide kit, which includes a warm bath, candles, and razor blades. Awful.
not for me
What if a man was very drunk and had access to every instrument on gods green earth and just rolled around on the floor and wrote lyrics using a bag of Scrabble tiles. Absolute waffle.
Old sour puss
No Comment...

Why?? This is exactly what people think of when they think of music snobbery. Actually embarassing

I dont hate brian eno, but this album just isnt great. It drags on and on and never has a high or low point. Its like listening to static or a truck engine. 1/5
Nicht meine Richtung
Had a hard time getting into this one, unfortunately not great.
STANDOUTS: not a highlight to be had OVERALL: 1.5/5
No
Shit
spider and I was fine, but i don't really see myself coming back to this at all. it was... pretty meh overall.
Was one Brian Eno album not enough? Seriously, who decided to stick two of these on here? Goodness. This gets 1 star just for being wildly unnecessary.
Up it's own arse, complete load of shite. I made it to track 4. Me and my mates wanted to start a band back in the early 80's as young teens, we had one 'jam session' where we all played an instruemnt we had borrowed or bought - but had no musical skill or experience with. I'd bet good money we still sounded better than this album.
Esse disco não está no livro! Aliás, nem deveria estar aí. Tem três discos desse cara que passaria tranquilamente essa existência sem precisar ouvir. Posso não ter entendido o contexto musical, mas não tem de demais nem para a época em que foi lançado. Desnecessário!
Meh
Yeah I get it. He's made a weird experimental album and we're meant to ignore the vocals because it's music made in the name of art. I just can't sorry. All the processing in the world can't hide poor 'singing'
Not a sausage to do?? Wtaf is he talking about? Eno was one of those dudes held in mystic awe. Knew him more for production and remixs and shiz. What a disapointment to listen to his bunch of arse.
Sounds quite dated.
2/10
done 2/10
I just don’t get this at all.
Absolute nonsense
Didn’t like this
¿Eno, como la sal de frutas?
Couldn't listen all the way through. Just noise. 1/5
Spacy woowoo music
I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS
From the first song, it sounds like a Talking Heads b side , and quite a good one, but from there the album turns a bit darker. I can see the brilliance in the sound scapes, but the album isnt to my musical tastes
Anyone who knows me knows that I like my music like I like my women - primitive, raw and black. Brian Eno displays none of those traits on this abysmal record that left my dick limper than a baby with cerebral palsy trying to wallpaper a crack den. Not on my watch.
Wow, um, this is really bad. I hated everything about this. I'm sure there are some people who love this, but they aren't me.
I don't like it that much, it's a bit misch masch at times 🤔
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Niente di interessante
"Arty". Got boring. Either too much "stuff" in a song, or nothing drives the song.
What the fuck is this shit
Albums like this are why punk happened.
Denne traff meg ikke. Jeg likte det ikke. Ferdig snakket.
Terrible
Ei tarvii toista kertaa kuunnella. Masentava kokemus
40 min av mitt liv jag aldrig kan få tillbaka. Om du mot förmodan skulle behöva lyssna dig genom skivan så skippa de tre inledande spåren
Nothing much to say other than “nope, not for me.”
I mean I guess that Brian's a pioneer for electronic music and all but his stuff is just always weird. At least this album was better than Music For Airports. 3/10.
Really not my cup of tea at all. This just sounded like noise. Is it experimental? Just boring and messy to me.
Good for him, following his dream
Really didn’t enjoy this at all
Couldnt get through this one, it was just meaningless. Glad he started producing!!! 1 star
Average
This album is all over the place and I don't like it.
no mames wey
weird
Nope
not for me
It had some nice moments but overall I didn't feel like there was any flow from song to song. A lot of the songs seemed to go nowhere. I respect his work but it's not for me.
Not what I was expecting from "Brian Eno" -- I've never heard him before, but know of his work with U2. Unimpressed after 2 songs.
"friends" has a spooky background and i love it!!
