David Byrne & Brian Eno - Everything That Happens Will Happen Today
96

This is a sweet album and exactly what I'd imagine this collab would sound like. I'm a huge fan of Eno's work in the 90s and 00s, and I can definitely hear it here. I don't love I Feel My Stuff. Wanted for Life is fantastic.

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
98

This album was a big part of my childhood and I'll always love it. It alternates between this lush/warm/cozy feeling and a feeling of despair and hopelessness, which is a contrast that works great. I don't love the last two songs as much as everyone else seems to, same with Ashes. War on War and Kamera are my favorites.

The Who - Who's Next
97

One of the best early hard rock albums. Won't Get Fooled Again is timeless and in my top 30 or so favorite songs ever. There are a few slow spots like Getting In Tune, but nothing bad enough to warrant a skip.

Baba O'Riley - 100

The Beatles - Abbey Road
100

Updated my rating on 4/27 cus it's just a 100 innit
My favorite Beatles album. It doesn't feel fair to give songs like Polytheme Pam equal weight to a song like Something, so I combined the entire medley into one rating. All those short songs are so much better in succession anyway

Fishmans - LONG SEASON
98

This clicked for me the first time I heard it. Not quite perfect but it could easily reach 100 for me someday, if I get some nostalgia added to it

Bob Dylan - Desire

Bob doing some random stuff in the early seventies and then dropping this and Blood out of nowhere is so funny to me

Brian Eno - Another Day on Earth
99

This album was never available on streaming services so I had to pirate it, and actually found myself arranging the tracklist in a new way since I had all the mp3s individually. I highly recommend listening to it in this order, I think it works so much better.

New Riders Of The Purple Sage - Where I Come From
98

I'm pretty sure I'm the one who added this to the site a few years ago, and still the only person who's rated it. So yeah, this is an incredible country rock album. I forgot how much I enjoy listening to every song here.

Brian Eno - Another Green World
100

This album took a while for me to get, whereas I fell in love with Before and After Science pretty much instantly. So if you don't like this, maybe give it a few months or years and try again. Golden Hours > Everything Merges is a best 4-run track of all time candidate for me. For some reason Little Fishes terrifies me, can't explain why.

Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
100

Bob's best album, maybe I'll write more about it some other time. Here's how I'd put it, I think other artists have performed better albums (Pink Floyd for me), but no one has ever written a better album than this.

Tangled Up in Blue - 100

Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)
97

Remove the baby song and this is near perfection, that being said this album is still incredible. The title track is probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

Neil Young - Prairie Wind

I surprised myself by how close all my individual track ratings are, this thing is so incredibly consistent while never really reaching perfection (no 100s). Just such a cool, pretty late-era Neil album.
