Reviews (page 6 of 8)
It was decent. I enjoyed the weird sections but also didn't find it that exciting either.
Bit weird - kinda enjoyable
Started off very strong and I could see why Brian Eno is so influential, some of the songs sounded quite Animal Collective-y, then it got quite weird and not that cohesive. Still a solid album.
Absolutely strange sound, especially vocals! Baby's on Fire. A few tracks in here I would return to, but probably not joining my rotation
mais ou menos, tem algumas boas porém outras sofríveis
Kind of interesting prog stuff but not my bag
Brian Eno goes fucking insane and slams his head into a keyboard, accidentally discovering the elusive "Brown Note" (frequency that causes you to shit uncontrollably). This sounds like a David Bowie album that somebody put in a washing machine with the wrong settings. Super weird. Very impressive for 1974, but not something I'd listen to in my free time.
Not sure about this one.
Enjoyed this one.
This was interesting and overall pretty enjoyable, but weird.
The people that made this list really enjoy Brian Eno. I think this is his 5th album on here. I’m 50/50 with his work. This is one of the albums that I enjoyed. Very hit or miss.
Here Come the Warm Jets is a different kind of music than I've heard from Brian Eno before. Most of my experience with Eno as an artist are more ambient albums. This album reminded me of some of the roots of alternative rock, similar to Elvis Costello, but also reaching back to influences from the Beach Boys (appropriately in "On Some Faraway Beach"). I have liked Eno's work as a producer. I'm generally good with previous albums from Eno. This album settles in to "okay". I was a little disappointed to not find a track that I would specifically want to re-listen to later.
interesting sound some decent songs. i kind of liked it.
Better than his ambient shit. Very artsy and glamy. Ez 3.5
better than his ambient shit. on some faraway beach
Good parts mixed with some nonsense
Fun eclectic "pop" music, sounds ahead of its time but fails to wow me.
Quite psychedelic, for some songs a bit too alienated. Cindy Tells Me is a great hit!
More foreground than normal for Brian Eno. I dig a lot of this though it still travels beyond my patience barrier. I mean, it's Eno. What are you gonna do?
Eno's voice will always grate a little on me but overall this is a very enjoyable rock album with all kinds of strange and delightful sounds strewn about the mix. Perhaps not quite as outre as I had anticipated, though there's nothing too wrong with a bit of accessible weirdness.
You can kinda tell who reviewed this after only listening to the first track. I like it for what it is, but I hope some of his later work is featured here too.
My first thought was "Another Brian Eno??" But this one feels more lively than some of the other ones, at least. There are stretches that feel weird for weird's sake but in others, it feels like masterclass in how to integrate unusual instruments and bizarre lyrics into music that still seems cohesive and enjoyable. Very creative and fun.
Brian, oh Brian. Not your best work. Diversity plus, but some dross amongst it.
An OK listen. Jaunty in parts, but mostly just a soundtrack to my morning.
Not the Brian Eno I’ve heard before, some of the vocals were a little annoying to me but overall liked it
Not the ambient music I expected. Kinda sounded like the Talking Heads. Pretty good
Not as ambient as his other albums, which in a sense I appreciated, gets a little screechy for me though
I think I'm starting to warm up to this Brian Eno character. Though most of the music here is the polar opposite of what most would consider "cool", there is still something there. Something just unique and quirky enough, something that warrants an equally quirky drink. Three Moscow Mules served in a boot. 👢👢👢
Interesting but not my favorite of Eno's art rock.
I've listened to plenty of albums that Brian Eno has worked on (The Joshua Tree, Heroes, More Songs About Buildings and Food) and even a song about Brian Eno (MGMT's "Brian Eno"), but I've never listened to an album that he recorded as a musician. Heading into this, I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. I figured I'd really like this album, and as soon as "Needles In The Camel's Eye" started, I really expected that I was going to love this album. Unfortunately, after the lead track, this album didn't live up to my expectations. The guitar parts were really good, and so were some of the more 'avant garde' sound elements (like on "Baby's On Fire" and "Some Of Them Are Old"), but the lyrics as a whole, and a few of the songs were just a little too 'out there' for my tastes. But the songs that worked, really worked well ("Needles In The Camel's Eye," "Baby's On Fire," "Some Of Them Are Old," and "Here Come The Warm Jets"). I still think Brian Eno is an influential genius, but I think I'll stick to his production work.
4th Brian Eno album I’m getting here. To Eno’s credit, he doesn’t seem to make the same album twice. That said, although there’s some nice music here, I cannot claim to have been knocked off my seat.
Rating: 6/10 Best songs: Blank frank
Keri lang!
Bit of a journey, abrupt switches, great sound though.
I would never have guessed this was Brian Eno. I think he was better when he went instrumental.
Parece que lo he invocado tras comentar ayer que NEU! 75 me recordaba a Brian Eno. Mucho mejor de lo que me esperaba, hay temas como "Baby's on fire" o "Blank Frank" que no me imaginaba en 1974.
I know that Brian Eno is one of the most influential artists in electronic music but I always found his records to just be OK. Almost like I "wasn't there" and it doesn't really stand the test of time unless you WERE there. Totally my opinion though. It's jam packed with interesting ideas but the music underneath the ideas doesn't really get me going. "On Some Faraway Beach" is super cool though. It's very fever dreamy and washed out. The rest of the album was pretty ok but also pretty forgetful for me. I hope he has a record come up again on this list.
It was fine. More guitar than I’m familiar with for Eno
I've always thought that his efforts in Roxy Music and other art rocks acts are nice. But as a solo artist, Bian Eno have always been the "ambient guy".
This was interesting. Don’t think I feel the need to listen to it ever agin though
It was pleasant enough. Definitely heard an influence on Neil Hannover in there
Interesting experimental sounding rock. Really enjoyed parts of songs but the would start to get annoyed with something
I wish these songs had more than one idea in them. I think only twice did anything change in a song. Kind of a let down.
Weird album, but production from him is flawless and better than what was around the time. An innovator and genius but no song got me excited. So it stays a 3.
Pre-Ambience sound, Brian created a artistically really interesting album that ultimately when listening to it is interesting but fails to leave a lasting impression
decent music, goofy enough to be funny 3.5/5
Brian Eno est totalement dévergondé sur cet album qui n'a rien à voir avec celui sur les avions.
Brian a réussi l'exploit de proposer un album digeste, après de nombreuses tentatives infructueuses. Cet homme est la preuve que la persévérance finit toujours par payer. Petit bémol: l'ombre de son grand rival Jean Michel Jarre plannant au dessus de l'album empêche de bien profiter de toutes les différentes pistes.
Not huge fan but I can see how it has its place on this list and helped nurture newer genres.
ok
Really good. Tons of variety, skill, passion.
An Eno album that isn't the aural equivalent of a folding bicycle? (i.e. only for total smug wankers). Seems to be - but Robert Fripp provides the clear highlight - that track was tagged for repeat listening. The rest of it is mad as a lorry, but also quite entertaining
Crazy glam rock. I don’t hate it.
Kinda funky and cool. Not funky, like funk music, but funky like a clown. Not that I enjoy clowns, but I did enjoy this.
1973 welcome to glam rock. Respect but not for me.
Interesting beat. Vocals were weird at a point or two but overall a nice listen
An a-ok listen
Moram ga detaljnije poslušati, mislim da to neće biti problem jer je meni Brian Eno dosta dobar artista.
5th January 2023 Listened while working from home. Gym and finished slow horses in the evening. Good to have on in the background, like how he experiments and no song is similar
HL: “On Some Faraway Beach”, the title track, “Some of Them Are Old” Don’t know if side 2 is better or if I was late warming to the overall sound & vibe, but there’s some instrumental passages I really enjoyed. The first 5 tracks I was unsure about, surprisingly rockin’ but nothing that grabbed me (at least on this 1st listen) Didn’t know Brian Eno sang December 30, 2022
Ikke verst!
3.5
An adventurous album. A bit before my time.
This was not that good. It is certainly more art than it is music. There were some songs that I liked, but others were just too out there for me.
A classic not to overlook..
washed over me bland wont listen to again
Not exactly for me, but pretty impressive for '74.
I don’t get this. Hard to fall in love with such an experimental album overnight I guess. The parts giving off Bowie vibes I enjoyed (on some faraway beach, dead finks are both very pretty) but there were some parts that made me want to pull my hair out (blank Frank, driving me backwards). I don’t really have too much time to dive into this right now. 3/5 rated up due to some parts I enjoyed and the apparent significance based on what I’ve read so far
Some interesting tracks, but too experimental
Cool
I don't dislike Eno's music but I just wish there was a bit more to it.
73/100: Another incredibly unique album from Brian Eno. The album generator gave me “Before and After Science” a week or so ago, my first time ever listening to Eno. I found “Here Come The Warm Jets” to be just as unique as that first album; however, it doesn’t sound as artfully crafted as “Before and After Science.” This album feels a bit closer to the “wall of sound” end of the musical spectrum, although much of it is still really beautiful. I love that this scratches an itch no other album can. With all of that being said, though, there are only a few songs on this album that I’d genuinely enjoy listening to again in the future.
This was better than I expected.
Cohesive, sounds like what it's named.
Liked it, didn't love it
very bowie but not as good.
Pop en ocasiones un tanto vanguardista y experimental. No aporta nada especialmente, aunque es fácil de escuchar
Art rock, 1974. This is the debut record by the musical genius Brian Eno. Despite the fact this album is a bit immature it contains brilliant ideas which Eno developes in his next projects. Some songs are really interesting, some others are more confused but the LP remains a good record, but quite normal for Eno's standards.
odd album, decent to listen to but its content is a bit weird, artsy almost. Sounds like it pulled alot of inspiration from talking heads
not too bad, but not super my kind of music.
Much better than the previous album I got from him, less ambient and mote fun
It starts and ends excellently. Admittedly had been worried. 2 Brian Eno produced records in a row doesn’t seem like the 1000 best albums. however by song two it descended into farce. It’s an ep at best. Did no one have an editor back then. Parts of ‘Here come the warm jets’ is so far ahead of its time. It could be to La Tengo.
Better than his other album, in that at least this one has actual songs. Not good songs, granted, but still a step up from the random nonsense of his previous effort. Some sounds like Radiohead, some like Franz Ferdinand, all of it sounds like someone being mightily indulged, with no-one to rein in his stranger creative impulses.
Some interesting sounds, I don't love the vocals and they kind of ruin some of the songs for me. It's hard to figure out what kind of music this is, which I imagine is part of the point.
I respect Brian Eno and I like the style he's going for here, unfortunately it just isn't my jam, as much as I'd like it to be. Definitely prefer his instrumentals in general, but this was one of his first works so it's understandable coming off of Roxy.
not what i was exoecting from Eno, but still good
More experimental than I like
Not-ambient-sounding Eno was not something i have been expecting
I've known the reputation of Brian Eno for making weird ambient music but this wasn't too bad. Definitely not a representation of what is to come.
Reminds me of Bowie in music and vocals. Was ok, not too mad about this genre.
Quite liked it, not irritating and quite nice in the background.
I honestly not sure I ever listen to a full Eno album. Over pretty good.
Experimental pop/rock with electronic components. It was fine. I can see why it's listed as it probably sounded ahead of its time when it was released.
The album is more of a vocal tour de force, of wild psychedelic hymns in Indian rhythm. In any case, he is years ahead of his time. (6/10) FT: On Some Faraway Beach
Eh
Sounds like a cross between David Bowie and Roxy Music, but without Bryan Ferry or Bowie singing on any of the songs.
Raar, maar goed op een of andere manier, maar raar...
A artistic soft rock and roll. No recognized songs
Ok, Brian Eno. I hated you so much after the first album of yours that I had to sit through. But - this album actually sounds like music. Like it has melodies and lyrics and stuff. It's still not my "thing" - but I actually kinda enjoyed this album.
Some interesting Art rock
Just not a fan of Eno.
Classic Eno 3+
First, I don't actually know Brian Eno's early solo music, though I do like Roxy Music. His name for me evokes \"ambient\" -- I have the app Bloom which I thought was great. So starting with just that shaky foundation, looking at this album, I don't know what to make of the title or the art. Starts out with Needles In The Camels Eye which I immediately link to the camel cigs in the album art maybe it's a big find it in the photo game? Otherwise the song strikes me as pretty forgettable. The next song, The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch, I like quite a bit but then gets weird in a way that doesn't make me want to put it in heavy rotation. Next up Baby's on Fire (better throw her in the water) sounds quite cool and is clearly clever. Solid guitar solo. But my first listen left me cold I had to go back and play it again to start to see what's good about it. I want to be the kind of person that appreciates experimental music and can immediately soak in the new ideas and revel in the weirdness. But I found it took several listens to start to get enjoyment from these songs. In other words, this album was a little bit of a chore. The creativity and confidence are evident. Clearly an important album. I love me some Bowie, Talking Heads, etc and Eno pushing the envelope is clearly how we get there. The album is brimming with ideas. But am I going to want to listen to this over and over for pleasure? No, I don't think so. I do, however, respect it.
I liked this much more than the other Eno one I got. I would listen to it again.
I actually enjoyed this album i thought it was funky and fun to listen to! 3.5/5
I don't think I fully "get" this album. (...yet?...) It's not bad - there's a lot of melody in here. But in terms of songs and structure/writing, there's far less. And yet from reading about it that seems exactly the intent. Brain..lacking..anchor. Something I definitely appreciate from Eno's own words was that lyrics were a true afterthought for many of these songs, if not all - making the voice "just" another instrument. e.g. "On Some Faraway Beach" is nearly all instrumental with a lovely if not simple melody and the vocals don't come in until late in the song, almost as just an orchestral addition. I like that non-traditional aspect of it. Yet for every time I think I enjoy the different aspect/s of the album, I find myself reaching for something to sink into. Some hook or memorable chorus - anything - to keep me coming back. e.g. "Dead Finks Don't Talk" is ... different. 4 minutes of being different within itself. I love the piano / drum march intro then the vocals join which are most unexpected and jarring. This song is a good microcosm of the album itself. 6/10 3 stars - I think this is a tough one to give much higher on only one or two listens - potential slow burn and will come back to this one.
Not a bad album but a lot of it is pretty unique instrumentals. It’s experimental and in the 70s it probably has some first sounds. Nothing I’d return to though. 5.8/10
Experimental glam rock, yet detailed and polished, and it hit the heady heights of 26 in the album charts at some point in 1973, and that's what it is, a minor hit for a minority. Why would I listen to this again?
Bin iwie kein Fan von seiner Art zu singen und es waren jetzt ein paar 70ies Alben zu viel, hört sich grad alles gleich an für mich. Sehr banausig, ich weiß. Zum Teil ist es mir auch zu abgespaced, da braucht man wohl die Drogen der Zeit
Eh ganz cool, radiohead meets ccr meets Phantom Planet oder so irgendwie...
Quirky like Bowie but nowhere near as cool
Weird. Kinda good, kinda bad. Think this one needs to sink in a bit more before I decide whether I actually like it or not. For now it's a 3 star for me.
Hey pretty good. Got a little weird towards the end but it's Brian Eno. I was a bit surprised the first half of the album WASN'T as weird as I was expecting.
This was a unique album. Each song sounded notably different from one another in a good way. Fav song: Driving Me Backwards
Second listen. I heard this first from the Rolling Stone top 500 list. First time, I thought it was ok, but this time the songs are really sticking with me. I am enjoying the sounds and lyrics. Definitely fits the time with other acts like David Bowie. 3/5.
Actually quite liked it
3.5/5
not baddd
am unusual and confusing mix of sounds. reminds one of Bowie + Elvis Costello
Punk. A bit weird
babys of fire
Favs: Needles in the Camel's Eyes / Some Of Them Are Old Score: Decent 3
Skemmtilega experimental.
Okay
This was fine, not really my cup of tea
Quite a boring album but it got me listening to some newer stuff of his and enjoy the instrumental ones
3.5
look what funny sounds i can make
Pretty good but didn't blow me away.
Quién invito a Ryan emo... Nocierto si está dos trenzas ...3
I feel like this is what you would get if the Talking Heads were one guy and somehow a bit weirder. Still some catchy stuff but overall pretty out there.
Brian Eno is so interesting for all of the different sounds and space he likes to explore. His first solo album is really centered around a mix of glam rock and "art pop" that seemed to be the avant-garde sound of the time, picking up where he left off with Roxy Music. However, a lot of these songs take influence outside of those genres and bend them to fit a thematic record. "Cindy Tells Me" for example takes the framework of a Beach Boys-esque pop song and throws in a psychedelic approach by adding in distorted guitars. This isn't the space that I most celebrate Eno as an artist, but it's also uncharted territory for me. It's music that takes time to sink in. Overall, it lays the groundwork for one of the most brilliant producers the music industry has ever seen, and it's a really fun album if this is your type of wheelhouse. Favorite Song: Baby's On Fire Least Favorite Song: Drive Me Backwards
Is this good? Is this bad? Who knows? It is just uncategorisable. I listen once I think it’s absolute drivel. I listen again, I think there’s something incredible to it. You can tell Eno has some spark of genius/madness and the contribution he made to Roxy Music, Bowie and Talking Heads is discernible from this record. Do I want to listen again? Yes. And also no. I’m not reaching for the album anytime soon. But I am adding it to my library. The three stars isn’t fair but it’s all I have right now. It’s a placeholder until I make up my mind. Is this a one star? Or a five star?
Reminds me of Bowie, and its a little shoegazey in places too. Overall not super exciting though
Quite good album, not amazing.
This was mostly pretty good. Particularly liked Baby's on Fire; Cindy Tells Me. Didn't really like: Driving Me Backwards; Blank Frank; Dead Finks Don't Talk.
3/5 niceish album, but not enough
Not so sure about this…
I feel like I would enjoy this more if there weren't sounds or vocal stylings in at least every second song that feel like they were put there with the express purpose of being annoying.
Avant garde
Familiar glam flavours … Bowie, Roxy and 50’s recreations Like the more left field Eno
un poco psicodelia está guay pero se me ha hecho largo
Ok
Not sure what I just listened to, but it wasn't all bad, I guess? I see people comparing it to Bowie and I'm confused because this is nothing like Bowie unless you just think everything weird is 'like Bowie.'
This is kind of what the previous album should have been. While I think Barry Adamson took himself too seriously in not taking himself seriously, this strikes a better balance. More musically interesting and innovative too. Favourite track: “Some of Them Are Old”
Smorgasbord of an album but overall pleasant listening.
Good? Presumably very conceptual for the time but it didn’t grip me really.
...und du sahst aus wie der junge Brian Eno ...nachweinen guten Tag!
kind of annoying but catchy... nice vibe production-wise "driving backwards" is HORRENDOUS my god i had to turn it off just shut up "some of them are old" is quite nice last song is shoegaze amazing
Pretty cool
Had moments but I did not like what was done with the vocals, might have been something in the harmonies that was throwing me off. Also did not listen to this album in the best mood so I skipped the back half of a couple songs once they had lost me.
Love the creativity and the shoegaze-esque atmosphere. Very ahead of its time. Solid album, strong 3 low 4.
Ok
An interesting one for sure, but not really a strong record IMO
i liked the songs later in the album - soothing
I've been a big fan of Eno for a long time, both his solo works and also his incredible producing with the Davids Bowie and Byrne. This is not my favorite album, though. It's a bit too poppy, and nothing like his later ambient works. It's just fine!
Quite a few songs that I greatly enjoyed, quite a few that I didn’t care for. A perfect 3
Experimental, but without direction which makes it hard to follow at times.
Rock experimental. Interesante
bowie-esque
Got better as it went on. Loved a couple - On Some Faraway Beach & Here Come the Warm Jets
Weird
Better than Roxy music. He’s a music icon, but never listened. Thought this would be more experimental. There was some fun experiments especially with the last few songs, made it worth it.
While the front half of this album tends to lose the plot in all its production tricks, the back half manages to nail the balance between instrumentation and cohesion. A solid Bowie-esque experimental album all around.
Worth a listen but nothing remarkable
Very unmemorable. Nothing much to dislike, but nothing I particularly enjoyed either.
Really diverse set of songs, good for mind wandering
Felt like a Bowie album ahah. Good listen
Roxy music -lite
I actually liked his instrumental albums better ... How does he have 4 on this list?!?!?
boring
First thought is oh nice I like this! The second song has some weird instrumentation and a very suspect name. Overall it’s weird but not so weird as to be off putting and I like the instrumentation in several songs.
I like a lot of Brian Eno's ambient music, his production work with multiple artists (especially David Bowie and U2), and his wide-ranging experimentation. But this is an experiment with more misses than hits and no cohesion.
2.4, it was well made but it didnt really click. I didnt feel it aligned with my hopes and expectations
Как будто наших Аукцыонов послушал, только с небольшими модификациями
This is the best Brian Eno album I have listened to so far, and I mostly dislike everything. I had to skip Driving Me Backwards because it moved from dislike to hate in the last third of the song. I think I have two more Eno albums left after this. Ugh ⭐.25
Didn't like this as much as the other one
After being surprisingly and inexplicably taken with his Music For Airports, this one was a little tougher. There’s more actual songs but I definitely prefer him when he’s sitting quietly noodling in the corner. And without the freaky pictures.
It's fine. I don't find it particularly interesting or memorable in any way.
This wasn't bad but not something I have much interest in returning to. More glam than the Ambient noise once which made it more interesting for me.
The glam aspects of this ablum were enjoyable. The experimental parts, less so. 2.5 stars.
Why are there 5 Eno albums on this list? Who is he and why should I care? Not for me. Boring and poor vocals. 👎
Not my cup of tea
Day941 - i’m pretty open minded and can get outside my comfort zone sometimes but this wasn’t one of them
Sorry to say, annoying. I kept fast forwarding through songs.
me agarro en un mood raro
It's kind of strange.
Late-stage Beatlesque theatrics
The grifter is back with his 3rd album on this list! 🙄 Listening to Brian's warm jets of whatever this is is not my idea of a good time but at least this hard a few songs, as tinny sounding and mediocre as they were
Not to my liking, all respect to Eno and his impact on the music world.
I don't know it was kinda forgettable. "Dead Finks Don't Talk" sounds like a low budget meme song.
Brian Eno has produced and performed on some excellent records. This is not one of them.
This was…uhhhh….something. So different from his album we had yesterday, yet still so bad. Really hope we don’t get the trifecta today because I know there’s more coming.
Hey look, Brian Eno can make shitty loud music, too!
Fue raro y la verdad no me llamó la atención para nada.
Conhecia mais o Eno como um produtor, que foi primordial na trilogia de Berlim do Bowie, dando uma estética mais “futurista” em suas canções, com uma melancolia meio estranha, sintetizada, dizendo da melhor forma. Dito isso, esse disco aqui eu enxerguei bastante disso, principalmente no Low e no Station to Station do Bowie, mas a mistura entre os dois foi a dosagem perfeita pra mim, porque esse daqui não me agradou muito bem. A sonoridade é interessante, mas a voz do Eno me soou um tanto quanto maçante, um Bowie da série B, digamos assim. É legal, mas só também.
Interesting sound but even for me a bit too experimental to the point it wasnt really pleasant to listen to anymore.
1.5 stars My cooler older brother loves Brian Eno. He named his first dog Eno. I tried to like Brian Eno. My brother recommended Taking Tiger Mountain and I played it. I liked some stuff about it but wasn’t crazy about it. But I would play through it any way to try to “get” it. That’s what some of these “cool” artists who have influenced some of my favorite artists are like for me: higher level math homework that I never took the classes for. I try to put together the pieces, but it’s mostly gibberish to me. I’ve had to come to terms with the fact that I can appreciate what these artists have done to influence some of my favorite artists while acknowledging that I don’t really enjoy their music. I had never listened to this album before and it felt like a chore getting through. There are things I can recognize has influential and new for this era of music, but it’s in the midst of a bunch of stuff I don’t care about. I’ll never throw this on as entertainment. And I’m tired of doing homework instead of sitting back and enjoying music. I hope my brother doesn’t read this review…
For eksperimenterende. Åbningsnummeret var overraskende nok velkendt.
background noise but make it trancey and kinda interesting, saved 0/10
654/1001 2026.07.09 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
Pish
Brian Eno: kind of like if a Michelin Star chef painstakingly composed garnishes, created a unique and stunning plating arrangement, and served to you from under a silver cloche a glass of spoiled milk. This has things I like in an album, it’s well produced, has bits and baubs, and is unique. Unfortunately the music really just kinda sucks. 3.5/10, and I think that’s generous.
Super disjointed / not a cohesive sound throughout … a few highs but a lot of wtf songs. Didn’t really enjoy it 2
I don't think I'm smart enough to appreciate bryan eno.
No entiendo a Brian Eno
In Season 4, Episode 7 of Friends - The One Where Chandler Crosses a Line - Ross brings out a keyboard and plays wordless sound poems. Apparently he and Chandler has a band in college called Way No Way. This reminds me of that.
Nah brother. Just a really average rock album with bleeps and bloops. I really like Brian eno, like really love his ambient work, but this was not it.
De experimentele en volgens mij bewust provocerende productie kan niet verhullen dat er uiteindelijk slechts 1 min of meer sterke of memorabele song op dit hele album staat.
er is toch echt wel een grens tussen imperfecties in muziek en expres slechte muziek maken.
It’s fine. Not really my thing.
Whimsy and etherealness mixed in with nonsensical lyrics and unorthodox song structure. Points for the spacy vibe of the music (as I also picked up in my listen of Roxy Music) but just not something I can comfortably and joyfully sit through given the pointlessness of it all
Digno disco, nada especial. temas que irritaban, temas que todo bien.
Driving me backwards is absolute rubbish. Some tracks worth listening to but nothing to make me want to listen again.
Mutiger/progressive sound, aber teilweise zu wild und nicht so gut
I didn’t really get this, and I didn’t like it.
Brian Eno hat in soviel Sachen seine Finger drin und ich finde alle scheiße
Nothing stuck with me
wat een kabaal.
There were a couple if thought I might like. But, nope
I thought I would like this more than I did.
It's alright. Some songs are just repetitive, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but not really my jam. Best song on the album in my opinion is "Some Of Them Are Old" that one is good
I've heard this a few times and find it interesting, but perhaps because it's influential, it doesn't sound as fresh or exciting as it probably did when it was released. Still, something to check in with periodically. High 2s.
It's just one of those that I didn't really enjoy.
Once again, I just don’t get Brian Eno. Looking into previous ratings he seems to be consistently a 2.5/5 artist for my tastes. This was a decent listen but also quick and manic interruptions of weird avant-garde cacophonies of grating noise didn’t work in my opinion. 2.5/5 rating down this time
Kept one song
Meh
I’ll pretend you didn’t make this album, Brian… Bonus star awarded because there as some genuine creative moments. “Some Of Them Are Old” sounded pretty alright. I liked the Hawaiian slide guitars; very Spongebob. Unfortunately, these fleeting moments are drowned out by the overwhelming weirdness of the rest of the album.
I’m thinking I don’t care for Brian Eno…luckily there are only…3 more of his albums to get through on this list…
Odd
I'm really mixed on this one. Some of the songs I was vibing with and others pushed me away. I'd never heard of Brian Eno before so I may need to check out some more of his work before forming an opinion on his music.
There's something about 70s "art rock" that I don't like. It seems overly grandiose/dramatic to me. Having said that, I'm a sucker for a noisy Robert Fripp guitar solo, like the epic one on Baby's On Fire.
Not my cup of tea. 2.5
3/10 I found it pretty dull
I didn't warm to this. It sounded like some obscure indie outfit from 2000s so I Guess ahead of it's time?
Never heard of this guy before and I see I have not missed anything. Terrible.
This isn't something you listen to. It's something you have to endure.
Rock, 1974 -> 2
This is a fine example how experiments can go wrong.
Enimmäkseen rokkia. Vähän taiteellista tai kokeellista sellaista, mutta oli myös miellyttäviä hetkiä. Kokonaisuutena ei kummiskaan oikein ihmeellinen. Parhaat: On Some Faraway Beach, Some Of Them Are Old
Good album! didn't leave a massive impression on me tbh but don't have anything negative about it either
sounded over produced and a waste of some good talent. Album would have been better without Brian Eno
This was ok, but damned irritating at points. Very Bowie-esque sound that tries too hard at times. Just be a good rock album and stop interrupting the flow with stupid avant-gard bullshit.
I gave it a second listen just in case, but no better next time round. The vocals grated, the experimental sounds annoying
Kinda boring to me, something felt very 'flat' about the audio/the mixing.
Mostly just noise 2
Wasn’t really feeling this at all.
Honestly not a fan of this album but i liked 2 songs but I love his album music for airports
Experimental/art/avant pop and glam rock. Most of the tracks are really annoying. Several of them start out as just slightly annoying glam rock tracks, but then in the middle of the song, Brian Eno decides to throw in some weird ass instrumentals that make you wonder what you're listening to. The only track I thought was decent was "Baby's on Fire". 1.5 stars.
ol’ sourpuss himself.
Eno is a weird guy and for the early 70s this must have been new and out there or something. Doesn't really land today though. His debut solo album has some semblance of a well crafted work with a bunch of muppetry thrown in for good measure. Background squeaks, squawks, and robots make the record sound a bit juvenile but I can't say I didn't like that aspect. It's just a strange compilation and I'm neither enthralled nor disheartened by this one. Wonder what wild creations Eno and Zappa could have created if they teamed up on a project. Watch out because Here Come the Warm Jets at 1.94 stars.
yeah fun i guess, not super memorable. one song had cool drums
Hugely influential artist... 2 Stars
Unfortunately found it a bit boring
Forgettable, its a one and done record ill likely never play again Standout - on some faraway beach
That was a hard album to listen to
First song was alright, 2 and 3 made me feel a bit ill. Cindy Tells Me had a nice bit of Bowie going on. Then Driving Me Backwards upset me again. Enjoyed the title track.
2/5
I can't deny that it's pretty creative, but it's not for me. I didn't really like it.
Mich hat das Album nicht mitgenommen. Der Sound an sich ist ok, manches experimentell. Aber nichts, was ich regelmäßig hören möchte. 2/5
Mostly OK, but I didn't really find it interesting, although Dead Finks Don't Talk was irritating beyond description. Very glad he got into ambient music instead of this shit. I can sort-of hear the beginning of this direction in the final, title track.
3eme album proposé après 'My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts' (noté 2/5) et 'Before And After Science' (noté 3/5). Ce nouvel album commence mal. Les premiers morceaux présentent des parties ratées : - 'Batterie' terriblement monotone dans le premier - Bruitages/chorus de synthé très désagréable dans le second morceau Heureusement le chorus de Robert Fripp sauve le 3eme morceau ('Baby's on Fire'), et plus généralement ses interventions dans 3 morceaux sauvent l'album de la note minimale. =>2/5
Enjoyed the first song. The rest gave me a headache
Weird art pop/rock. Felt too esoteric and different for the sake of being different.
Un disco raro. Con canciones melódicamente buenas pero que están retocadas para darle una vuelta de tuerca distinta y experimental. A veces logra convencerme, la mayoría no. 3/10
Wasn’t into this
Various noises that I didn’t feel much towards
Not another Eno album 😭 it's better than the last one but that's not saying much
4/10 - hmm disappointing, when I saw Brian Eno pop up I got excited but this is such a non-Brian Eno album... but have to give credit to him for evolving
*1973. British dude. *This sounds like a bunch of B-side Beatles tracks... some okay stuff, but mostly not. RATING - 5/10
It was ok, but not anything great. Unexpected more given his producer career
- Uhm, speciaal. - 0 nummers toegevoegd aan MMMM - 0 nummer al toegevoegd aan MMMM 2*
Bubbling with ideas. Lots of interesting songs but the vocals are awful. File with the velvet underground as the critics choice but does anybody listen to this 51 years on. It is certainly a level above the mush that is portrayed as music now but that is the equivalent boast of beating your cat at darts.
The Eno-Sphere is vast and contains multitudes of great works. But at its center is a black hole of albums that I can't seem to enjoy. King Crimson, Roxy Music, and Eno's solo stuff just leave me flat. The "kitchen sink" approach has earned him "genius" status, but a bit more focus and restraint might go a long way towards earning my attention.
Boring sorry, just some bullshitting around, felt like a mix of psychedelic rock and like musak that plays at a massage place or something, at times I see why it's here because it sounds like shoegaze done 15 years early and that's cool but I don't really like this album much; this really didn't resonate with me at all
After 3 or 4 Eno albums I’ve come to several conclusions. 1.I don’t get it.
Not my jam. Too noisy, aimless guitar solos
Boring
Well, they tried.
Some good stuff here for sure, although experimental ambient/pop is not really something I ever actively choose to listen to.
Just… noise. It’d be a 1.5 if I could give it that but just… no
Ok 2/5
What a strange mix of music. Some of the songs are alright but there were definitely some duds and more noisy ones.
Yeah, turns out I don't like Brian Eno when he sings. There's so much music he's touched that I think is fantastic. This is a solo effort/Roxy branch that I don't think that way about. There are some interesting moments, mostly instrumental. It was already in my streaming library, but I'm not sure it will stay there.
Oh look, art music. I just don’t care.
Meh
Najpierw pomieszanie ciekawych zabiegów z mega denerwującymi dźwiękami. Potem im dalej w las tym więcej nudy
Pues no me ha gustado demasiado, un poco estruendoso para mi gusto.
I liked it more than other Brian eno but still think he might not be for me
Thought, or hoped, I would like this but did not. Not a fan of the affected voice he used at times. Musically somewhat interesting but collectively not for me.
He is not okay
The wiki article says ", and blends glam and pop stylings with avant-garde approaches". Avant-garde indeed. I don't think Brian Eno is ok.
I did not particularly enjoy this record at all and I have zero interest in revisiting it.
Shoulda stayed with Roxy.
Hmm, bit strange.
eh
The more annoying end of glam.
Second Brian Eno album sounds a little like the Talking Heads. It's derivative
A mishmash of random nonsense
Hmmm... This was a difficult one. Challenging to listen to with some very busy tracks and chaotic arrangements, but still was musically cohesive. Intermixed between the chaos were more calming, simple tracks. I appreciated the accomplishment but didn't enjoy the experience.
