Here Come The Warm Jets by Brian Eno
| boggleward wrote: | | This is an amazing album. You need to listen to it a few times in order to "get it", but when you are familiar with the music, you can appreciate the quality and it stays with you - I have been listening to it since it came out & still love it. I think the album gets better towards the end (unlike a prior reviewer) and in my view this album is way better than "Another Green World" (which I don't think is that great, although seems to be rated his best). A real classic. --August 2013 |

I hear david bowie, 70s genesis and contemporaries like deerhoof and of montreal in here. Take "the paw paw negro blotorch" for instance -- the guitar and synths like bowie with vocals and song structure of of montreal. "baby's on fire" is a tense jam recalling tight numbers by gang of four to some of the early 00's new wave. Robert Fripp's guitar tears into song fabric. It's all a bizarre mix of pop, rock, prog and Eno's avant tendencies which he'd later explore in more ambient forms. --December 2011 |

On The Beach by Neil Young

A perfect album closer, among the best ever, and certainly the best acoustic ballad album closer aside from Desolation Row. I might even prefer it for it's emotional impact. It's such a devastatingly beautiful song. I've literally spent hours listening to it on repeat. There are some weak moments on Side 1, but Side 2 is breathtaking. --June 2012 |

On the Beach, though this tournament has brought out in me a renewed appreciation of Eno's first two albums. But not enough to beat On the Beach, which is easily one of Young's best.

I don't think I've liked either album so far; but today I listened to them again, and both of them won me over. I could listen to either one again in the Semi-Finals (next week). I voted for Eno despite the fact that Eno's quality is a little bit inconsistent. Eno's best beats Young's best.

Both are in my top 5 for the year, and I can't see that ever changing. Vote to the man of the year.
