very good album. Eno had a great ear for sound design, and everything just fits together so perfectly on that album.
the big ship is the best song ever written
I like it
Eno is great. He carried the best Bowie and Talking Heads albums.
its either Becalmed or St Elmos Fire imo
Good but not great. I don't particularly like eno's voice and way of singing
Are we allowed to post Eno albums better than Another Green World?
Yes, please, you first.

I think this along with After Science and Warm Jets are his best albums.
Masterpiece, the only defect is Eno sings flat and boring. He probably thought he was being minimalistic instead of a bad singer.
People tend to not agree at all on how to rank those 4 albums from best to worst.
I think another green world and here come the warm jets are the best ones.
In the others the songs seem very simple to me, except for the production. Mother whale eyeless and third wheel are masterpieces nevertheless
I found it boring. I mean Enos production and his whole deal is strange sounding but ultimately has no emotions.
>Brian Eno, ex-keyboardist for Roxy Music, changed the course of rock music at least three times. The experiment of fusing pop and electronics on Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy (1974) changed the very notion of what a "pop song" is. Eno took cheap melodies (the kind that are used at the music-hall, on tv commercials, by nursery rhymes) and added a strong rhythmic base and counterpoint of synthesizer. The result was similar to the novelty numbers and the "bubblegum" music of the early 1960s, but it had the charisma of sheer post-modernist genius. Eno had invented meta-pop music: avantgarde music that employs elements of pop music. He continued the experiment on Another Green World (1975), but then changed its perspective on Before And After Science (1977). Here Eno's catchy ditties acquired a sinister quality. The album felt more like a surreal fresco, the vision of humankind turned into robots. The melodies could be renaissance madrigals, and the rhythm could be used by disco-music, but the whole did not sound like renaissance music or dance music at all: it sounded like the end of civilization. A learned practitioner of musique concrete, Cage's aleatory music, LaMonte Young's minimalism, Karlheinz Stockhausen's electronic music, Eno had an ambitious program of "music for non-musicians" that was the equivalent of Schoenberg's "Theory of Harmony". If Schoenberg had argued in favor of a new way of composing (serialism), Eno basically proposed to abolish composition altogether, focusing instead on "sound".
It’s great but I haven’t listened to it in full for a long time as a lot of the tracks lost my interest after repeated listens. Now when it takes my fancy I just listen to the tracks with vocals plus the title track.
I love that line “St. Elmo’s fire, splitting ions in the ether”. The songs conjure beautiful imagery.
