WE HAVE FINALLY HIT 1977! I think I have spent more that an actual year on 1976 which is just plain odd when you think about it. Our first introduction into 1977 is a really pretentious ark rock album by Brian Eno! Time to find the nearest window that unlocks.
We have had a few experiences before Brian Eno and I recall thinking that he was overrated and all over the place. Now, with a bit more experience with experimental music, I found him to be a lot more tame and a lot less remarkable than before.
"Julie With" has absolutely beautiful lyrics but its lack of a memorable melody makes it pretty forgettable. I actually felt that way about all of the tracks: good lyrics and good music were pretty much mutually exclusive.
So I still got the scattered feeling but none of the potential intrigue. Thumbs down.
RATING: 2/5
I agree, thumbs down. Waste of time.
