Probably the most accessible CT album on release. Lush sounding, still sounds great today.

Apart from Maybe I'm Amazed the album comes across as a bunch of demos, perhaps just a product of the technically available at the time. On Kreen-Akrore maybe there is something in the joke that Ringo wasn't the best drummer in The Beatles.

I came into this only knwoing a couple of tracks off the album. I have been missing out on an absolute post-punk classic. Very little to fault on this. Every member contributes to leave this feeling a complete work.

The album starts strong but ultimately peters out.

Eno assembled a cast of thousands for this and it shows in the diverse work across the album. I particularly enjoy Fripp's work on it, the solo on Baby'S On Fire is bonkers.

Twee.

Chore being the operative word. Sprawling, eclectic but ultimately tedious.

Your usual 70s blend of absolute classics and bang average filler. Bowie & Ronson do a great job on production.

Younger me would have lapped this up, older me puts it in the pretentious arty bollocks category.
AB/7A is a standout (for good reasons).

An excellent piece of electronic music just as the 80s came to an end. Pacific 202 is a standout track.

Sonically interesting, would have been 5 stars for an instrumental version of the album.

Some interesting covers and solid originals

Not usually my thing but a really solid album.

A curious blend of absolute classics and mediocre filler.

A really strong album, holding up surprisingly well 52 years later. The switch from US to UK did wonders for their sound.

Solid album underpinned by Just, High & Dry, the title track. A bit of filler in-between but I guess us time to be prepared for the next masterpiece. Street Spirit is just a perfect way to end an album

A magnificent album, nothing to fault on it.

Nice little collection of 3 minute pop songs

So much going on on this album, jumping from one style to another. It doesn't lend itself to a coherent piece of work. It is almost like a soundtrack to a modern musical theatre.

The "plastic soul" album. Some interesting vocal arrangements. Perhaps Across The Universe could have been replaced by one of many outtakes from sessions but a solid piece of work nonetheless.
