Je peux comprendre qu'il a probablement eu une influence sur ses contemporains. Mais la seule question qui me venait en tête lorsque j'écoutais le CD c'était: Quel pénis as-t'il sucé pour être mis dans la liste des 1001 plus grands albums?

Too chill... zzz...

Bit weird

it was an interesting album, not one of my favorites.

Creo que mi problema es que no me gusta la música ambiental, pierde muy rápido mi atención y cuando la tiene me aburre. No niego que tiene sonidos y momentos muy agradables y que el disco como tal revolucionó muchas cosas en la producción y grabación, pero como experiencia queda sin pena ni gloria.

Lots of atmospheric instrumentals and things going on here. I don't necessarily enjoy it but I respect it.

Ermm.. estem... pues o sea, como que wtf ???? La única que me gustó fue “everything merges with the night”, por eso se salva del 1

This type of Ambiant music is not my type of Ambiant music. Some well know names in the music industry that have worked with Brian Eno on this album.

A very strange album. Hated parts of it, was into other parts.

Not my favorite but did appreciate the different sounds

mostly ambient compositions quite decent but not to my taste

sounded someone set a keyboard to sound effects mode and then sat on it

no thanks

I really struggle with Brian Eno’s solo work. I love Roxy Music, Talking Heads and pretty much anything else he has been involved with, but for some reason his own material has never really clicked with me. So I wasn’t expecting a huge amount from Another Green World today. Unfortunately, this did very little to change my mind. I listened to the album twice and found large parts of it dull and a little pretentious. There are some nice sounds and interesting moments scattered throughout, and I can appreciate the atmosphere Eno is trying to create, but nothing ever really grabbed me. I think my biggest problem is that so much of the album just doesn’t seem to go anywhere. There are lots of short instrumental pieces and experiments, but very few actual songs that stuck with me once they finished. I kept waiting for a melody, hook or moment that would pull me in, but it never really arrived. It’s strange because I can hear Eno’s brilliance in so much of the music he has produced or helped create for other artists. With his solo work, though, I often feel like I appreciate the ideas behind it far more than I actually enjoy listening to it. Another Green World clearly has a huge reputation, but it’s just not for me. Two listens were enough, and I can’t imagine choosing to put this album on again. Favourite track: I’m genuinely not sure! There were some nice moments throughout, but nothing grabbed me enough to make me want to single out a particular track. Least favourite track: Nothing specifically. My problem was more with the album as a whole. Too much of it felt dull and seemed to go nowhere. Album artwork: I really like it. Simple, unusual and probably my favourite thing about the album.

I can’t express how terrible Brian eno is

Previously unknown. Some of it could have been interesting but it was buried under a dozen other things.

This is terrible and I don’t like it.

certainly a talented individual but this album has the sound of an advertising collection.

forgot it already

Very experimental sound, no real direction.

Why? No more Brian Eno. For the love of all things green.

Another Brian Eno album. I get that he's a studio wizard, but that doesn't make his experiments necessary listening.

Come on… why is this even on the list.

If this album had come out today, most of music lovers would have unanimously declared it AI-music and treated it accordingly (i.e., as trash). But since it came out fifty years ago, it instantly became a cultural phenomenon for so-called "advanced users," the kind of thing you'd give it a 10/10, and if you disagree, light a cigarette like the Joker at the end of the film and say, "You wouldn't get it." There's nothing to get here; it's just forty minutes of Brian Eno messing around with synthesizer settings. Robert Fripp and Phil Collins occasionally join in on their instruments, and then Eno starts singing in a mournful voice. Basically, it's a friendly get-together. Only a seasoned, mature, and incredibly relaxed old man could enjoy this record. Young people have nothing to gain here.

Canciones que te llevan directamente a la LOCURA. Sonidos envolventes pero no por eso lindos de escuchar. Al ppio de los temas suenan muy bien, después se enloquece todo. Me dejó maniática, pero valió la pena porque fue una buena experiencia y sobre todo novedosa. Qué cosa tan rara acabo de escuchar. 3/5

Very lame

Not for me

Sometimes "Experimental" means when art questions what is music, what is rhythm, what is melody, what is structure...and sometimes it means bleep bloop gleep glorp music. This is bleep bloop gleep glorp music with interludes of unexciting soft pop rock. I hate bleep bloop gleep glorp music.

Baustelle, Gerstetten, Deutschland. Voll öde.

Not for me. 1/5

How were so many people involved in making such a terrible record and then so many listening to it and thinking it’s good. I’m baffled.

Afval (Dutch for rubbish)

I'm really starting to dislike Brian Eno. Clearly others see something I don't in this guy cause every album of his I subject myself to just sounds like the most pretentious, self aggrandizing bullshit ever committed to tape. If you somehow like this guys music more power to you, but it is definitely not for me.

Aburrido

Before starting this project I had no idea who Brian Eno was, nor had his name ever passed my ears. How I wish that were still so. The list’s fascination with this weirdo is beyond me. I’m really beginning to think it’s just the creators idea of a joke and he’s laughing his ass off. Heaven help us if he really thinks this turd deserves to be on this list the 6 or 7 times he is. Calls the seriousness of the whole list into question.

Sounds like leftover sounds someone took pity on and put on an album. I don’t get it.

Another load of FUCKING DULL SHIT from Brian Eno. Why is he on this list so many times? Fucking FIVE of his solo albums and a bunch of other shit he was involved in? FUCK. OFF. BRIAN. FUCKING. ENO.

Interesting, but not my thing

Not for me

Another day, another shitty Brian Eno album. Dimery has the biggest hard-on for this pretentious shit.

Shit suuuuuucked

Not for me, just sounds like random sounds.

Way too arty. Just too affected.

Some more background music - genuinely non-offensive

whole lotta nothing

hated it

Background rock I guess.

British electronica pop. Again and again. It all SUCKS. Zero stars. Negative stars.

Did not like this album, it sounded like noise

Brian Crap

Not a fan at all, very boring listen.

No. Nope. Nothing.

Fuck off Brian eno five fucking times

I know he's done lots of notable productions and projects but this was aweful

Some say a masterpiece. Sounds like a collection of noises from a three year old nursery group. With a cover picture to match.

I couldn't finish it.

I’ve never heard a single thing to make me understand why Brian Eno is so revered. This is the sound of someone who hit record in the studio and then just pissed around all day and released it as an album. It’s a bunch of ideas for songs that he never bothered to finish actually writing. I thought the first track was ok and all was finally about to revealed to me in a glorious 40 minute package… but no, didn’t like a single other thing. Absolute fucking grifter, I don’t get it!

Fuck no

So. Bored

Lowkey bewildering.

1. Sky Saw - 2 Pretty rough sounding instrumentals outside of the bass guitar that's been reduced to a bland coffee shop background music sound. Lyrically the track is lost. Ending violins are a ear-bleeding pitch of sound. 2. Over Fire Island - 3 Sounds like a rejected Super Mario background music track. 3. St Elmo's Fire - 3 It's a pretty weak track. Piano starts well but none of the other instruments sound particularly great. Lyrically it's okay at times and lost at others. Gutar is nice but the track is so random you wonder why it's on there. 4. In Dark Trees - 7 Decent track. Instrumentally pretty good. Reminds me almost of Minecart Madness from the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack but still, a really enjoyable track. 5. The Big Ship - 5 Not a bad song but it sounds like it would just mainly be used for a photo montage. 6. I'll Come Running - 2 Lyrically absolutely awful. Guitar sound is okay but it's pretty much bad elevator music. 7. Another Green World - 4 Sounds like a Minecraft theme with guitars. Way too short lived and simple a track. 8. Sombre Reptiles - 4 Another way too simplistic track devoid of both quality and purpose. 9. Little Fishes - 0 The soundtrack to an area in a really MMORPG. That's what this sounds like. 10. Golden Horse - 2 Might as well be a lullaby. Really dull song. 11. Becalmed - 3 Slow building ambient music. It's calm, but it's also just three minutes of what feels like a funeral procession. 12. Zawinul/Lava - 1 This is the track that shows you exactly where "Ambient 1/Music for Airports" came from. Sounds just like something off that album. 13. Everything Merges With The Night - 2 Just way too simplistic a track. Monotony in a song. 14. Spirits Drifting - 1 Another funeral procession of a song. Average Rating: 2.79 Adjusted to 5 Point Scale: 1.39 Rounded Down: 1 Star

This kinda sucks. I don't think I needed to listen to this much Brian Eno. 1.5

Eeee no me gustó

I was looking forward for another album. I couldn’t listen to it. I’m sure it’s fantastic to some. Just not my cup of tea.

Going to reiterate that I like the products of Brian Eno the producer, but not really a fan of Brian Eno the musician. Another Green World is another example of him getting too weird with it. Most of the tracks sounds like demos or early concepts as opposed to songs. It's great that Brian Eno is able to experiment with his creative side, it just doesn't turn into anything that interesting for me. 1.06 stars

Are we seriously calling this ‘music’?

Not for me

Feel like this was a compilation of music that an artist/band would create on their journey to an actual album, lots of experimental noise and could perhaps be interesting to hear the process alongside a more exciting album, but probably not something you'd release into the wild without context.

Too experimental for me

All instrumental. Didn’t enjoy.

Did the person putting this list together have a long career in the NFL, because you'd have to have some extreme CTE to put some of these shit albums on this list. Christ almighty I hate this pots-and-pans-banging-and-call-it-music bullshit. Fucking nerds ruin everything. 1/5

Nope Just nope

I read the review of it being a waking nightmare and I didn't want to harsh my mellow.

1/5 none of the songs stood out

Nope. Boring

מרדים. לא כצורת ביטוי, באמת נרדמתי שהקשבתי לאלבום מה זה? מה זה אמור להיות? איזה מין ז׳אנר זה? נשמע כמו ילד בן 14 שקיבל אורגנית של קסיו ליומולדת והתחיל לנסות אפקטים גרוע מאוד

Another try, another day...maybe ?

There’s definitely talent behind this, and the production is solid, but no matter how hard I try, I just can’t find a soul in it. Feels like a homework made by top-of-the-class students, a boring soundtrack, with, however, a few surprisingly modern highlights (the Daft Punk-esque The Big Ship, or Golden hours for example). Overall, I didn’t like it.

Day435 - this is the first time an album has made me mad. it’s going straight to the never listen to again pile

I REALLY wanted to like this. But I didn't.

I've never been a big prog/art rock fan, and this album is no exception. A few decent moments, but I would not seek it out again.

I am skeptical heading into another Brian Eno project so soon after Roxy Music. Rightly so to this point. Art "rock", if this can even be called that, is terrible, art "pop" maybe. Whatever it is, this is not good. In Dark Trees sounds like it could be the soundtrack to a David Lynch film. I guess I should be grateful there aren't a bunch of weird experimental lyrics too. There they are. Once you've made a name for yourself, you can be as weird as you want and critics will eat it up like they're at a buffet. This is a major drag. Even the songs that are "better" aren't good. Last song was the best one and it was still terrible.

me personally it’s not for me but very well produced and made. I think all music is valid to me, because it is a labour of love. Someone spent their time and energy on this body of art and I respect that.

“Music” “Talent”

A bit boring

A medley of not terrible instrumentals interspersed with god awful repetitive sounds that make you want to claw your eyes out. There are one or two songs on this album that wouldn’t be too bad if they weren’t so “experimental”. Thumbs down from me.

Not my thing

Well Another Green World was crap. Not music. 1.

Another in this seemingly unending torrent of shite. We had another Eno album before that was at least fun (if a bit dated). This has some of the weird (but somehow in a boring way) without any of the fun, it sounds really dated. Reminds me of the twee bits on the White Album (which I also didn't like), but never gets to the good stuff really. 1/5, actively angered me.  

1001 albums, and they’ve managed to choose some of the most dire, uninspired trash ever recorded in large parts it seems.

While it's clear that Eno experiments with innovative soundscapes and textures, the album fails to resonate with me on a personal level. Tracks like St. Elmo's Fire offer intriguing glimpses into Eno's sonic world, but overall, the album lacks coherence and emotional depth. Despite Eno's mastery of synthesizers and electronic effects, I find myself disconnected from the music. While Another Green World may appeal to fans of experimental music, it falls short of leaving a lasting impression on me. NUMBER OF BANGERS - 0 STAND OUT TRACK - None

Not really special in any way.

1.5 Not for me kinda just faded into the background as I was listening. The only decent track was the big ship, the rest was completely forgettable.

Didn’t care for this.

I decided to look at his Spotify bio before listening and I was super excited. He has almost 2 million listeners a month and has done a lot. But I simply did not like this.

my eyes glazed over for the duration of the album and i could not stop it

I gave it a try. Fuck, I hated this. Jarring, unpleasant and pretentious. I couldn't make it past the third song.

I don’t get it. Maybe he’s a great producer but why would you listen to his solo work?

,,👎🏻

Rare. Music for robots.

I didn't understand this album.

Not fun

Das Album sticht durch seine innovativen Texturen und die minimalistische Struktur heraus, die es von herkömmlicher Rockmusik unterscheidet. Mit einem breiten Spektrum an Klängen und Stimmungen, von beruhigend bis beunruhigend, ist es mehr eine Klanglandschaft als eine Sammlung von Songs. “Everything Merges With The Night” ist für mich eines der zugänglicheren Stücke mit seiner melodischen Gitarre und sanften Atmosphäre. Eno’s Musik fordert oft, dass man sich von herkömmlichen Erwartungen an Musik löst und sich auf eine experimentelle Klangreise einlässt. Das ist nichts für mich.

Listened Before? N Mehhhhhhhhh. Not good. Not interested in "art rock" or electronic and this combines both with NO lyrics. I'll pass. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: The Big Ship

Two Eno albums in three days. What have I done to deserve this? Anyway, fucking awful, just like every other Eno album I've listened to.

Way too abstract and experimental for my tastes.

Seriously a fifth Brian Eno album?! Why?! I get it, it is ambient music. It was only 40 minutes long and I couldn't take it any longer so I skipped through songs. Just no.

A bit wishy-washy. Another album where I'm not quite sure what it's doing on the '1000 best' list....

One of the most boring musical experiences of my entire life

Like Pink Floyd, but without Pink Floyd

I tried to listen to 3 different songs and could not get through them. If you are into mainly bass with synthesized random sounds on top, this is the album for you but not for me.

The 70's, man -- did people really decide this was fun to put on and sit around and listen to? Maybe it's more fun if you do drugs at the same time

I’d be ok if I never listened to any Brian Zeno ever again. I just think his sound is annoying.

Honestly forgot I was listening to it while listening to it.

What a disappointment.

Was not a fan. Super atmospheric and felt like it was a shitty movie soundtrack. After a 2nd listen through I found that the 2nd half was ok at best

zzzzzz - what on earth is this? audio wallpaper, and not especially pretty stuff either

Pretty weird prob rock album. Never really felt like it had a groove and didn’t enjoy much of it. The instrumentals felt like they were weird to be weird. Nothing special about the lyrics either. 1.9/10

This album should have been called "Disjointed Warm-up Exercises for Small Orchestras" - because that's what it sounds like. Shame on Phil Collins for participating in this.

bah bah

Te weird en experimenteel.

Overall was not a fan of the experimental sounds. Their were a few songs that had potential but ultimately were ruined by the wack sounds that the dude was using.

Most boring one so far

Nicht so meins

literally hate it. seems like one of those things where because it’s old and weird white men would be like “it’s a masterpiece”. my brother and i both hate it.

Again couldnt get through it!!!! Sorry 1 star

Not really my thing

I'll come running pas trop mal

Annoying asf lol

Ouf. Non merci

Nope didn’t care for this music at all.

Instrumental prácticamente

What if my shoes don't need tying?

Urgh. Just sad whooshing.

Instrumentalt, soundtrack, stemningsfyldt
