Still thinking about Eno, and I realized that this was one I hadn't heard.
Really cool first half, really dense and propulsive, weird but listenable. Sounds very nearly like rap at times, and it's perhaps the most fun half-record Brian Eno's ever done.
The second half really drops off into much slower, ambient spaces - which is an interesting parallel with the two-half structure of Bowie's Low, actually, which was released the same year, and which featured Eno on synths. While I didn't like this half as much, By the River and Spider and I are gorgeous, making this a solid entry in my list of good albums by this guy 4/5.
