For some reason I'm a sucker for overhated late-era album from classic bands (I won't say underrated because this album does have plenty of fans). Listening to Carouselambra makes you feel a bit schizophrenic, but in a good way. Fool in the Rain is one of their best songs.

As you might expect, my parents played this for me when I was little. Lots of nostalgia points. However, beyond the silly kids tracks here, there's actually three incredible songs that I think are among the best in Jerry's entire non-GD/JGB discography: When First Unto This Country, The Miller's Will, and A Shenandoah Lullaby.

A great Neil album, probably his best post-classic era. Natural Beauty has always been my favorite here, just incredibly gorgeous.

This rating will be skewed by Sweepstakes unfortunately. That and Broken kind of spoil this album as a package for me, but they don't take away from its incredible highs either.

Echoes is my second favorite song of all time, and because it takes up half this album I'd like to weigh it more. Echoes shouldn't have the same weight as Seamus when considering the album rating. So I'm giving Echoes a 15/10 to make up for this.

One of These Days - 98
A Pillow of Winds - 94
Fearless - 100
San Tropez - 88

Favorite album of all time. Similar to WYWH, no need to rate the tracks, they're all 100.

Didn't even need to put this one on to come up with the exact track ratings (they're all 100). Top 3 album of all time.

SOYCD (1-5) - 100
Welcome to the Machine - 100
Have a Cigar - 100
Wish You Were Here - 100
SOYCD (6-9) - 100

It's mindboggling to think about how this album was released fifty years after his debut, and still managed to become one of my very elite top few albums of his. The first five tracks and final two tracks are all perfect. There is a slightly weaker section in the middle consisting of Scarlet Town, Early Roman Kings, and Tin Angel, but it doesn't fully break the flow, just slows it.

Duquesne Whistle - 100
Soon After Midnight - 100

Super meaningful album to me. Held back from the 100 by There's a World. Words Between the Lines of Age is my 2nd favorite Neil song, after Cortez.

My favorite Eno album and among my top 10 albums of all time. It's tricky to put into words, but there's just something here. So many different cool ways you can interpret this album. Maybe we get some kind of metaphor from the title given the first and second halves are so different? I'm not rating Energy since I see it as a transition and it doesn't really function as it's own song.

This album is so much better than it's reputation. No idea how the title track has a 60 on here. Admittedly, the last two songs are pretty bad (I always try to forget that the last song is in their discography), and I've never loved Victim or the Crime.

I thought I liked this album more than I did, it's been a while since I've listened to it all the way through. That being said, I love this one sonically compared to his debut. Love the bass and light little guitars. The Old Revolution is my favorite, but Lady Midnight is super underrated, it's awesome when the organ comes in around halfway through it.

I love Warren but he wasn't really an album artist. That being said, this album is phenomenal, and by far his best. I've always had a soft spot for Tenderness on the Block, so that's my favorite on the album. Veracruz is pretty easily the worst.

Cortez is like my 3rd favorite song of all time. This album is pretty much perfect except for Stupid Girl and Drive Back, but they're far from bad.

I never expected to like this album as much as I did. Call it a hot take but I seriously think it's up there with Thriller for best 80's pop album. For some reason all the remasters of this sound different, I recommend the 2001 one.

My Own Way - 98
Lonely in Your Nightmare - 94

A very special album for me. It's very much a 90's reflection of Eno's original two art rock albums, and I think the sound only improved.

My rating for this album won't be as high as Rumours, but this album has higher highs for me than Rumours. The problem is that it has a few songs that don't need to be there (like That's All for Everyone).

The Ledge - 89
