It is over.

It is over.

I felt that was an album filled with very good songs with proper tunes and ideas and was pleasingly unpredictable, with appealing idiosyncrasies.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 4 stars, even though nearly all the songs went on for too long.

I get this every time with an Eno album,

I stand by every drunken (not really) word.

It good, verging on great, and I'm going to go, : hmm: ★★★★, but there's something missing.

A good singer? I dunno

Oh, yeah, each song went on about a minute too long.

A rare moment of consensus.

I sensed, on an instinctive, animal level ohrly

, that this pairing of Baby/Eno was one that harked back to the golden age of Nu-HotW running commentary bile-free hatred.

Y'know, like, nobody really minded what anyone else really thought about the albums.

At least not me. Sly

I've never minded what people thought about any of the albums. bowtie

I've always respected the right of other people to have different opinions to me.

People always have the fundamental right to be wrong. sad yes
